\"Dungeons<\/p>\n

The directors behind Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves will write, direct, and produce a new Star Trek film.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Star Trek\u00a0<\/em>universe giveth, and the Star Trek universe taketh away. Hot on the heels of the announcement that the\u00a0Kelvinverse timeline of feature films\u00a0was finally\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley have been tapped to write, produce, and direct a brand new Star Trek film for the studio.\u00a0Per\u00a0Deadline<\/em>,\u00a0<\/em>who first broke the story, the forthcoming installment will offer a completely new take on the franchise universe, unburdened by any sort of connections to current television series, previous films, or other projects that may or may not have sputtered out at various points in the development pipeline. (Sorry to Noah Hawley and Quentin Tarantino, I guess.) Virtually nothing is known about its plot, but the report suggests the film will likely introduce new characters to the franchise, though we don\u2019t technically know if that will be in primary or supporting roles.<\/p>\n

Goldstein and Daley have already proven themselves capable writers who can put fresh spins on preexisting IPs. The pair wrote\u00a0Spider-Man: Homecoming<\/em>, and though they\u2019ve only directed three films, those include\u00a0<\/p>\n

With the television universe busy slotting various series into gaps of existing canon (waiting on that\u00a0Star Trek: Year One\u00a0<\/em>announcement any day now), it\u2019s well past time to let the film side of things, well\u2026 boldly go. Tell different kinds of stories! Take some risks! It\u2019s a big, bold, beautiful universe out there, and surely there\u2019s got to be some pocket of it that doesn\u2019t care\u00a0<\/p>\n

Plus, there\u2019s really something to be said for simply letting the Star Trek\u00a0<\/em>franchise have\u00a0fun<\/em>\u00a0again. Say what you want about the silliness of its plot, but\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s possible to tell simple, enjoyable, relatively low-stakes stories in this universe that are a good time in their own right. And that\u2019s\u00a0<\/p>\n

As Paramount prepares to reboot the\u00a0<\/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

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

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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
