Overview
- Variety reports the studio has moved on from bringing back Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and the J. J. Abrams–era cast, with hopes set on a new theatrical take.
- The pivot follows Skydance’s takeover and CEO David Ellison’s first 100 days reshaping Paramount’s slate and franchise priorities.
- Years of stalled development on a fourth Kelvin-timeline film included multiple attached filmmakers and was complicated by Star Trek Beyond’s soft returns versus its budget.
- The previously reported origin-story project involving Toby Haynes, Seth Grahame‑Smith and Simon Kinberg remains without a clear status under the new regime.
- There will be no Star Trek theatrical release for the franchise’s 60th anniversary year, though Paramount says it remains committed to Trek across streaming and film.
