Zachary Quinto confirms fourth Star Trek movie still ‘on track’

While everyone is looking toward Star Trek: Discovery to keep the franchise alive and well, it seems that the big screen adventures aren’t quite done with yet.

Chatting to EW (below), Mr Spock himself, Zachary Quinto, revealed that the fourth movie is currently being written and is on track:

“It’s a process. It’s always this way. It’s like, “Yes, we’re going to do it!” But then there are many steps in that process – writing a script being primary among them – and I know that’s what they’re working on now. I think we’re all really excited to go back and we’ll do that whenever the phone rings and it’s J.J. on the other end. But yeah, it is a process. There is years between the first few movies – I think four years between the first two and three between the second and the third. So we are kind of on track. It was two years ago we shot the last one and it came out last year so I feel we are still in the strike zone.”

While we understand that not everyone likes the new movies and how they ticker with the timeline of the original series, we at FTN did enjoy the first and third instalments and would definitely welcome the new/old crew back.

We mentioned Discovery earlier and it seems that Quinto wouldn’t be keen on appearing on it:

“I don’t think so. It is such a unique experience and such a unique character and I feel like I wouldn’t know how to…I don’t know. Who knows? But I am excited to see it. I am happy that they are doing it and it is an incredible universe. There is an endless combination of possibilities of stories and characters. I don’t feel like they will need me. They will be able to create an opulent world of much drama on their own.”

So it looks like Spock from the Kelvin timeline (the new movie timeline) won’t be appearing in multiple spots like Leonard Nimoy, the original Spock, liked too.

Thoughts?
