As Paramount prepares to reboot the\u00a0Star Trek<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0film franchise, the studio has now found the duo who will write, direct, and produce the upcoming feature. After J.J. Abrams revived the<\/p>\n Deadline<\/em>\u00a0reports that Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, the duo behind\u00a0Dungeons & Dragons<\/em>, are set to breathe new life into\u00a0Star Trek<\/em> as directors, producers, and writers of a brand-new film.<\/p>\n The upcoming production will not feature the same actors from J.J. Abrams’ previous movies, in which Chris Pine starred as Captain Kirk alongside Zachary Quinto’s Spock, Zoe Salda\u00f1a’s Uhura, and more. The report also indicates that the new\u00a0<\/p>\n Goldstein and Daley have a history of working on existing franchises together. They wrote the script for\u00a0<\/p>\n Six years later, the duo wrote and directed\u00a0<\/p>\n Before\u00a0<\/p>\n The rebooted\u00a0Star Trek<\/em>\u00a0film is still in the early stages of development, so plot and cast details are unknown. Nevertheless, the upcoming reboot may face some challenges if it undertakes a new direction and unfamiliar characters.<\/p>\n The franchise’s streaming era has introduced several new characters, like\u00a0Discovery<\/em>‘s Michael Burnham, but has also leaned into nostalgia with the return of\u00a0Patrick Stewart in\u00a0Picard<\/em>.\u00a0Strange New Worlds<\/p>\n <\/em>\u00a0has major connections to\u00a0The Original Series<\/em>\u00a0and even cast Ethan Peck as the iconic half-Vulcan Spock.<\/p>\n Discovery\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Lower Decks\u00a0<\/em>demonstrated that the\u00a0Star Trek<\/em>\u00a0franchise can still create high-quality content for the small screen. However, the big screen is still untested in this regard since every single\u00a0big-screen\u00a0<\/p>\n However, what the upcoming\u00a0Star Trek\u00a0<\/em>reboot has in its favor is the addition of Goldstein and Daley as directors, producers, and writers. Their pitch to Paramount must have been very impressive for the studio to bring them on board.<\/p>\n Their history together in multiple roles behind the camera has proven that they have what it takes to inject new energy into major properties, so even though their take on\u00a0<\/p>\n Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers for Fire Country Season 4, Episode 5.<\/span>It is the dawn of the Manny (Kevin Alejandro<\/strong>) era at Station 42 on\u00a0Fire Country<\/p>\n <\/em><\/strong>\u00a0as the former Three Rock captain officially takes over Vince\u2019s (Billy Burke<\/strong>) Battalion Chief position.\u00a0Richards (Shawn Hatosy<\/strong>) gave Manny the job because he wanted to keep the job in the family, but when Manny starts changing things like the coffee in the break room and getting involved in scene incidents, it starts to go wrong.\u00a0It\u2019s not the crew that has an issue with Manny making some changes though.\u00a0It\u2019s Sharon (<\/p>\n Of course, Sharon isn\u2019t just worried about Manny taking Vince\u2019s job. She\u2019s also stressing about how to tell Bode (<\/p>\n If anyone knows that there is no replacing Vince Leone, it is Manny Perez. So he\u2019s not trying, but approaching Battalion Chief from his own perspective immediately puts Sharon on the defensive. It starts with Manny changing the coffee in the station break room to a Venezuelan roast instead of \u201cLeone Muck.\u201d I love Sharon, but it sounds like Manny might be onto something here? Let\u2019s not ask people to run into burning buildings caffeinated with something with \u201cmuck\u201d in the name, even if it is a joke. The bickering between the two continues when Manny chooses his own route to get to the fire at the local drive-in theater. Sharon gets back at him by taking over the scene and micromanaging his crew before Manny can even assess the situation.<\/p>\n These are the two adults on the show, so you think they\u2019d just take a step aside and squash the beef like Manny and Jake did last week. But nope! Manny takes matters into his own hands and goes into the fire to save the owner of the theater instead of delegating to one of the junior firefighters. I guess no one wanted to remind him that the previous Battalion Chief insisting on going into a scene is how the job became open in the first place. It is like absolutely no one listened to Richards\u00a0<\/p>\n Manny makes it out of the building with the owner of the theater. He and Sharon get to work out their differences while directing the volunteer crew of movie-goers to put out spot fires. Sharon\u2019s stepfather, Wes, who was at the drive-in for a show, manages to put his two cents in to help Sharon realize she\u2019s bulldozing and make Manny remember that Sharon is not someone you want to piss off. Wes is a character, but he does give out really good advice to the Fox and Leone families. The fire is put out.\u00a0<\/p>\n I know, I know! I\u2019m as stunned by the subhead as you are. We are giving Bode a break this week, though. He starts the episode by breaking into Sharon\u2019s house to investigate the note from Vince\u2019s guitar case and he manages to find a P.O. Box key. He thinks it may be the clue to what Vince was hiding before he died \u2014 Bode is on team \u201cVince did not have an affair,\u201d which is objectively the correct team \u2014 but\u00a0Jake (<\/p>\n Wes intervenes when he and Bode run into each other at the drive-in. Bode is stressed because Jake is insisting on telling Sharon, but Bode wants answers first.\u00a0Wes gives him direct advice about handling someone resorting to blackmail, which is to go on the offense<\/p>\n <\/strong>, but take your team with you. That includes Sharon, who Wes insists will not be destroyed by a piece of paper (See? He\u2019s so good), and Jake because true friends tell you what you need to hear instead of what you want to hear. I agree, Wes, but I just need Jake to be more consistent with the advice.<\/p>\n Anyway, Bode does come clean to Sharon at the end of the episode. She tells him about the potential arson in the Zabel Ridge fire, and he takes the news calmly (for now). He then hands her the note from Vince\u2019s guitar case. She\u2019s shocked by it, but not for the reason Bode fears. She immediately recognizes the handwriting and the signature. It\u2019s not Renee (Constance Zimmer<\/strong>), but Sharon\u2019s mother, who will be played by\u00a0Christine Lahti<\/strong>\u00a0later in the season.\u00a0It looks like a family reunion is coming to Edgewater<\/strong>, but it does not sound like a happy time for Sharon or Bode. These two can\u2019t catch a break.<\/p>\n It isn\u2019t all bleak news in this week\u2019s episode. Eve is stashing chickens for her girlfriend at Station 42, which brings some much-needed comic relief to the episode. Parmesan and Bridget are little troublemakers, but they bring joy during an otherwise stressful episode of\u00a0Fire Country<\/em>. They also bring great ideas. Eve gets approval from the city council to rebuild Three Rock, but she needs to make it a self-sustainable camp and potentially turn a profit to secure the full investment of Edgewater. The drive-in fire reveals that she needs to consider multiple revenue streams, and the chickens provide the how-to. If the prisoners raise their own chickens and crops, they can feed themselves and sell the extras for profit.\u00a0She can build a camp that not only allows prisoners to get on-the-ground firefighter training, but will also give them farm and business-owning experience<\/strong>. And the profits can be fed back into the camp for better facilities and development programs.<\/p>\n We are now a quarter of the way into the season, and it is still going to take a minute before the new Three Rock is up and running, but this sounds like a promising new beginning for the program. We need to have some hope somewhere, and it\u2019s good that Eve is making her way through the Sacramento bureaucracy to get Three Rock back up and running.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As Paramount prepares to reboot the\u00a0Star Trek\u00a0film franchise, the studio has now found the duo who will write, direct, and produce the upcoming feature.
