After my report a few days ago that JJ Abrams’ Star Trek Kelvin Timeline (below) was dead, Paramount, after years without a big-screen outing and years too of sub-par TV shows, is hoping to revitalise the Star Trek universe with a new movie.
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves and Spider-Man: Homecoming screenwriters and Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley will write, produce and direct a new Star Trek movie which will not be connected to any past movie or series, meaning if you were hoping to see any of Trek’s famous faces, from Chris Pine to Patrick Stewart, it’s not going to happen.

With Star Trek Beyond being the last big screen Trek movie, way back in 2016, it’s almost a decade since we spent time in that universe on the big screen, something Paramount is very keen to put right and now that it’s owned by Skydance, who took over it in Auguest, it seems they want Star Trek to return to its rightful place as one of the jewels in the crown
After many failed efforts in the last nine years, will this finally put Star Trek back on the right path? I certainly hope so…
Thoughts? I know you have them and I wanna hear ’em all!

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
