Star Trek 4 gets a promising update following major Paramount news

The much-anticipated fourth Star Trek film, which has been in development for some time, has seen an encouraging shift after a significant change within Paramount Studios.

2009 marked the reboot of the science-fiction series’ cinematic spin-off, with the movie “Star Trek”. It was followed by two sequels titled “Into Darkness” and “Beyond”. However, since then, the production of Chris Pine’s Captain Kirk’s fourth adventure along with his crew has faced several delays and setbacks.

Over the past seven days, the union of Paramount and Skydance Studios has been finalized. David Ellison now serves as both CEO and chairperson for the merged entity.

What to Read Next

Since Ellison has been an executive producer in the last couple of Star Trek movies, this suggests a promising outlook for a potential upcoming sequel.

As a passionate Star Trek fan myself, I can personally vouch that we have reason to be optimistic about Star Trek 4. The man behind Scotty, Simon Pegg, shares my confidence in the involvement of Ellison to ensure a solid launch for this much-anticipated film.

Indeed, it’s common knowledge that David Ellison has a strong fondness for ‘Star Trek,’ as he shared during his appearance at the recent Star Trek convention in Las Vegas, as reported by TrekMovie.

I’m confident that he has a soft spot for the series. Thus, I’d be thrilled if we could produce another movie. I hold them in high regard, and it’d be splendid to reunite with them. Regardless of the unfortunate incident our group faced, which was heart-wrenching, the prospect of working together once more brings me joy.

J.J. Abrams has often mentioned that he’s working on various scripts. Now, it feels like the perfect moment for a glimpse into what lies ahead, ten years after the five-year mission. It would be fascinating to see where our journey takes us next.

Should a new movie from the rebooted series not materialize, Sir Patrick Stewart has expressed interest in reprising his role as Captain Picard on the big screen once more.

He suggested the idea of a film that might revolve around Picard, but not solely focused on him. Instead, it would delve into the experiences of everyone involved. He wants to incorporate many captivating aspects, predominantly from season 3 of Picard, and transform them into what he believes could be an exceptional cinematic experience.

All three Star Trek reboot movies are available on Prime Video and Paramount+.

As an enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that Digital Spy’s latest print issue has arrived! You can grab a copy of “Oasis – Live in ’25” at your local newsagents or online for only £8.99. Don’t miss out on this fantastic read!
