Paramount Taps Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley to Launch Original Star Trek Film

The move signals a break from the Kelvin-era cast under a strategy to reboot the film series.

Overview

  • The duo behind Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves will write, produce via their GoldDay banner, and direct the new feature.
  • Sources describe the project as a completely new take unconnected to previous films or TV series, with no return for Chris Pine’s Kelvin-era crew.
  • New characters are expected, though plot details, casting, and a release timeline remain unannounced as the film is in early development.
  • The decision aligns with Skydance leadership’s stated priority to revitalize Star Trek and to coordinate plans across film and TV.
  • If realized, this would be the first Star Trek theatrical release since 2016 after years of stalled sequels and reboots, with earlier projects now effectively sidelined.
