A new Star Trek movie set “decades before” J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek 2009 is reportedly in development at Paramount Pictures. Star Trek Beyond in 2016 was the last time a Star Trek movie hit theaters, and multiple attempts to develop Star Trek 4 produced by J.J. Abrams have failed to lift off. Meanwhile, Star Trek on Paramount+ has launched several successful TV series such as Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Picard, and Star Trek Strange New Worlds, which have bolstered the Star Trek brand and I.P. Paramount+ is also producing its first made-for-streaming movie, Star Trek: Section 31 starring Academy Award-winner Michelle Yeoh.
Deadline is reporting that Paramount has set director Toby Haynes (Star Wars: Andor) and writer Seth Grahame-Smith (Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter) to develop a new Star Trek movie to be produced by J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot. This new Star Trek movie is said to be an origin story set decades before Abrams’ Star Trek 2009, which took place in the alternate Kelvin Timeline in 2258. In addition, Deadline says Star Trek 4, which it called the “final chapter” of Abrams’ Star Trek saga starring Chris Pine that includes Star Trek 2009, Star Trek Into Darkness, and Star Trek Beyond, remains in “active development.”
