Paramount announces yet another Star Trek prequel

Movie-business shindig CinemaCon was the venue at which Paramount Pictures launched it has started carry out on a brand new Star Trek film. Slashfilm tales 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 about these items 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 apparent, Untitled Star Trek Origin Story will present as a prequel to the 2009 origin story and a sequel to 2001’s origin story, Enterprise. It’ll very doubtless be established proper earlier than Discovery, which was conceived as a prequel to Star Trek (1966) and Bizarre New Worlds, which is a prequel to Star Trek (1966). And, glimpse, if you’ll make it potential for me to get a little bit personal for a second, I’m deeply overjoyed on the information. Provided the dearth of origin tales, prequels and nostalgia-parades within the Star Trek universe, an Untitled Star Trek Origin Story is a welcome, required and existence-providing addition to the franchise.

Allow us to be truthful, it’s superior time we obtained some factor insular and backward-seeking following so fairly just a few many years of non-quit groundbreaking, first adventures shorn from the burdens of continuity.
