Paramount developing new Star Trek movie prequel with Andor director Toby Haynes tapped to direct and Seth Grahame-Smith writing the script.
Deadline reports that Paramount is developing another new Star Trek movie. They’ve tapped Star Wars: Andor director Toby Haynes to helm the project, with Seth Grahame-Smith writing the script and J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot producing.
Plot details are being kept under wraps, but Deadline hears that this is another prequel that will take place decades before the events of the 2009 Star Trek movie. The long-awaited Star Trek 4 is still in active development, with Deadline referring to it as the “final chapter” of the main series.
Although the Star Trek franchise has been thriving on the small screen with Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Picard, and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Paramount has been struggling to get another movie off the ground. The last one released was Star Trek Beyond in 2016, and by the time another movie does hit theaters, a full decade could have easily passed.
More to come…
