  Oh good, because if there's one thing Star Trek needs it's another origin story /s

    It’s like Spiderman. Someone really needs to do a movie about how that all started, I don’t think it’s been done before.

    You know, the universe doesn’t offer much beyond that ship called the Enterprise… What could they possibly do?

  The film is “set decades before the original 2009 Star Trek film.” Toby Haynes (Andor, Black Mirror “USS Callister”) is directing based on a screenplay by Seth Grahame-Smith (The Lego Batman Movie), with J.J. Abrams returning as producer.

  […] the origin story movie is set to start filming by the end of the year. There are no details yet on the plot, specific time setting, or cast. If Paramount can move fast enough they could get the origin movie into theaters by 2026—in time for Star Trek’s 60th anniversary.

  I’d be down for an Andor-styled origin story.

    I’d be down if they dropped JJ Abrams.

    But ... I thought the 2009 film was an origin story?

    It was literally the story of how the Kelvinverse came to exist and it followed Kirk, Spock, McCoy and co from their Academy days.

      And Strange New Worlds. And Enterprise. And First Contract. How many origin stories does Star Trek need?

      Now we get to see their conceptions

      My take is that it could be a Starfleet origin story that takes place between Archer and Kirk’s stories.

    I think they mean Seth Grahme-Smith, author of Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter.

    So I’m down. Please not too many pew pew space battles. You can include Abe Lincoln if appropriate. That is precedented and canonical for Star Trek.

    Me too weirdly. I have watched the Kelvinverse movies all exactly once, but this doesn’t sound so bad.

  They will never make another thoughtful, dialog heavy, diplomacy and reason focused Star Trek series. The mass audience won’t go to see it if there aren’t lots of explosions and personal drama and that’s the audience they want.

    What exactly makes you think that? Strange New Worlds has very little action, and is loved by fans as far as I can tell. Yes, it has “personal drama”, but Star Trek always had that and it’s not a bad thing.

      I’d say TOS was very very light on “personal drama”, which really ramped up from TNG onwards.
