Film-industry shindig CinemaCon was the venue at which Paramount Photos introduced it has began work on a brand new Star Trek film. Slashfilm studies Untitled Star Trek Origin Story can be a prequel to Star Trek (2009), J.J. Abrams’ shiny prequel to Star Trek (1966). It’ll be directed by Toby Haynes, most well-known round these components for helming episodes of Andor and Black Mirror’s USS Callister. The screenplay has been written by Seth Grahame-Smith, who wrote The Lego Batman Film and Pleasure and Prejudice and Zombies.
In order that we’re clear, Untitled Star Trek Origin Story will function a prequel to the 2009 origin story and a sequel to 2001’s origin story, Enterprise. It can doubtless be set earlier than Discovery, which was conceived as a prequel to Star Trek (1966) and Unusual New Worlds, which is a prequel to Star Trek (1966). And, look, for those who’ll permit me to get a bit private for a second, I’m deeply overjoyed on the information. Given the dearth of origin tales, prequels and nostalgia-parades within the Star Trek universe, an Untitled Star Trek Origin Story is a welcome, crucial and life-giving addition to the franchise.
Let’s be trustworthy, it’s excessive time we acquired one thing insular and backward-looking after so a few years of continuous groundbreaking, authentic adventures shorn from the burdens of continuity.
