Followers might know that the subsequent upcoming Star Trek sequence is arriving this summer time, however that does not imply loyal followers nonetheless don’t desire solutions on different initiatives on the way in which. After Part 31 premiered to disappointing opinions, there’s hope that Trek‘s return to theaters through an origin story will get the film aspect of the franchise again on observe. Sadly, CinemaCon has come and gone, and Paramount did not disclose something concerning the movie’s progress, although many aren’t shocked.
The untitled Trek manufacturing, which isn’t the fourth film within the Kelvin franchise starring Chris Pine, was introduced at CinemaCon 2024, with Andor director Toby Haynes connected to helm it. Quick ahead to a yr later, and Paramount sidestepped any point out of the undertaking throughout its annual presentation, at which CinemaBlend was current. Information circulated amongst Star Trek followers comparatively shortly afterwards. Truthfully, I’ve plenty of the identical emotions that followers shared concerning the origin movie (and the Kelvin film) in @TrekMovie’s feedback:
- No shock there. – @TheKeetsTweets
- So the sixtieth Anniv goes to be one other huge meh, identical to the fiftieth was. Acquired it. – @MetalGirlJen
- Massive shock. – @darendoc
- It has been 9 years, there isn’t a level in bringing the Kelvin-verse crew again for yet another movie. Recast and reboot. – @KPanOfficial
- It is lifeless, Jim. Good riddance to the Kelvinverse. – @kentishsax67
There’s sarcasm and cynicism abound, and I perceive it. As soon as once more, the destiny of a Star Trek film is up within the air, which is just like the umpteenth time that is occurred since Past was launched in 2016. This film was initially slated for 2025, and, now, we’ve got no updates on its standing in the beginning of the yr. Does this imply followers ought to assume we can’t see it this yr?
Assuming makes an Andorian out of you and I, and I would moderately not be blue about this newest information about Star Trek motion pictures. Nevertheless, I do should marvel who’s calling the photographs in the case of the franchise’s characteristic movies. I am particularly curious after producer Alex Kurtzman confirmed to CinemaBlend that he is not concerned in these upcoming plans. Maybe the powers that be seemed over the 2025 film schedule and surmised that there wasn’t an optimum spot to launch it.
The one factor I can say with certainty is that it is irritating, particularly given Star Trek‘s success inside the streaming enterprise lately. Certain, followers will nonetheless have Unusual New Worlds, which dropped a blinding Season 3 trailer forward of its return this summer time. Additionally, Starfleet Academy has an incredible forged to be enthusiastic about. Nonetheless, it will be nice if one other Trek movie had been to hit the massive display, particularly after Part 31 was held to Paramount+ for its launch. If an motion thriller starring an in-demand Oscar winner cannot make it to the massive display, is there any hope for a Trek undertaking? We’ll have to attend and see.
Within the meantime, know that the subsequent Star Trek undertaking on the docket is Unusual New Worlds Season 3. Time will inform as to when some characteristic film-related updates may be divulged, however I will be holding my fingers crossed that they arrive sooner moderately than later.
