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

The attachment marks Skydance’s pivot away from the Kelvin cast toward a fresh theatrical reboot.

Overview

  • The duo will write, produce and are attached to direct the film through their GoldDay banner, according to multiple trade reports.
  • Sources describe the project as a completely new take unconnected to prior movies, TV series or earlier film initiatives, effectively moving on from the Chris Pine–led timeline.
  • The movie is in early development with plot details under wraps and no cast or release date announced.
  • The move reflects David Ellison’s strategy since Skydance took control of Paramount to revive key IP and reignite Star Trek on the big screen.
  • Deadline first reported the news; Goldstein and Daley’s credits include co-writing Spider-Man: Homecoming and directing Game Night and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, after recently collaborating with Skydance on Mayday.
