Time travel puts Emperor Georgiou in the "lost era" of Star Trek's 24th century before Star Trek: The Next Generation. She is billed as facing the past transgressions and origins of Section 31.
Officially, Toby Haynes' Untitled Star Trek Origin film, written by Seth Grahame-Smith, will be the next Star Trek film released under Paramount Pictures. Haynes is well-known for helmingross Star Wars: Andor and the Star Trek spoof episode "USS Callister" for Netflix Black Mirror. Said to be set "decades before" the events of J.J. Abrams' Star Trek (2009), the Untitled Star Trek Origin film shows the founding of Starfleet. Fans of the show are worried, meanwhile, about whether Haynes' film will try to rewrite the accepted Star Trek legacy.
While X-Men producer Simon Kinberg is apparently in talks to join as the producer who not only supervises Haynes' Star Trek prequel but also the whole Star Trek theatrical movie franchise going ahead, J.J. Abrams will be a producer of Toby Haynes' Untitled Star Trek Origin movie. Kinberg's suggested role would be like that of Alex Kurtzman and his Secret Hideout single supervising all Star Trek on Paramount+ streaming TV shows and films. Starting production in the fall of 2024, the Untitled Star Trek Origin film is set to premiere in theaters maybe in 2025 or 2026.
Though there are no official release dates yet stated for Star Trek's forthcoming theatrical or streaming releases, Star Trek Movies are at last returning. Beginning on network television with Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek developed into a profitable movie series beginning with Star Trek: The Motion Picture in 1979. There have been 13 Star Trek films overall, and each decade following the 1970s has welcomed their arrival.
But once Star Trek Beyond hit theaters in 2016, Star Trek films lagged. After a 12-year hiatus, Star Trek returned to television with Star Trek: Discovery a year later. Its popularity helped to usher in a new golden period of Star Trek TV shows on Paramount+ featuring six current and upcoming live-action and animated series. Concurrent with this, the Star Trek movie series from Paramount Pictures has been buried in development purgatory; multiple attempts to create Star Trek 4 with eminent directors have gone nowhere. But for Star Trek films, which will shortly show in theaters and available on Paramount+, there are fresh indicators of life.
Although Star Trek 4 is apparently still under development, a fourth Star Trek film produced by J.J. Abrams starring Chris Pine as Captain James T. Kirk leading the USS Enterprise has been in development since 2018. Though there is no further information about the long-delayed movie, Steve Yockey (The Flight Attendant) was lately hired to create a fresh screenplay for Star Trek 4. If the film ever comes to pass, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana, Simon Pegg, and Sofia Boutella have all openly declared their want to reunite for another Star Trek.
Should the Starship Enterprise fail to make a comeback to theaters to commemorate Star Trek's 60th anniversary in 2024, it would be a pity.
Jonathan Frakes then went on to explain how the present episodes let directors latitude with dialogue that the Star Trek series created by Rick Berman did not let, thus directing for Star Trek on Paramount+ series is much different. Star Trek requires the actors be word-perfect and recite all speech as written, but the current programs are looser and let for experimentation. See Frakes' comment on his experience supervising the crossover between Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and Star Trek: Lower Decks below.
That's a great observation. That happened on "Those Old Scientists" with Jack Quaid and Tawny Newsome visiting. Second City improv specialist Tawny fooled about a bit with the lines. On the scene with Kat Lyn and Bill Wolkoff as my writers, we all sort of locked eyes and I just murmured to them, asking, "What do you think? Should we let them go straight forward? Then they said, "Sure." And that released Anson, and Rebecca, and all of a sudden we performed the scenes as written, but then we played with the scenes, and that was such a delight to have. Given Next Gen's severe policies, as I'm sure you have heard. On our show, it was absolutely rigorous. It was rigorous on every show covering the conversation. That was therefore a really liberating experience.
