Overview
- Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley will write, produce and are attached to direct the new feature, producing under their GoldDay banner.
- Reports describe a completely new take unconnected to prior movies or TV series, with no return for the Kelvin timeline cast and likely a new set of characters.
- The move tracks with CEO David Ellison’s recent comments that the next Trek film would not be a sequel but a different project with new actors.
- Several long‑gestating film efforts, including a fourth Kelvin installment and a Toby Haynes origin concept, are now viewed as sidelined under the reset.
- No plot, cast or release details have been announced, and executives say film and TV plans will be coordinated as Trek heads back to cinemas for the first time since 2016.
