Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley to Create Standalone Star Trek Film for Paramount

Skydance's new leadership signals a big‑screen relaunch that breaks from previous entries.

Overview

  • Deadline reports the duo is attached to write, produce, and direct under their GoldDay banner, with trades confirming the attachment.
  • Sources describe the project as an original take unconnected to any prior Star Trek films, series, or previously developed movie pitches.
  • Variety reports the film is not expected to continue the J. J. Abrams reboot and will not feature Chris Pine or that ensemble.
  • Skydance founder David Ellison previously said the next Trek movie would feature new actors, aligning with the reported direction.
  • Plot, casting, and release timing remain undisclosed, though Paramount has treated reviving the franchise in theaters as a priority since Skydance took control.
