News Star Trek Star Trek Origin Film Is Finally Happening! Gets 2025 Release Window So many possibilities! By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on April 11‚ 2024 Comment 0 Share New Share Star Trek is finally going to boldly head back to the big screen! During the Paramount Pictures panel today at CinemaCon (via /Film)‚ news broke that a new Trek movie‚ which has been framed as an origin story‚ will be helmed by Toby Haynes. Haynes previous credits include directing episodes of Andor as well as the Black Mirror episode USS Callister‚ a brutal riff on the Star Trek franchise that explores the toxic side of the fandom. The writer for the film is Seth Grahame-Smith‚ whose previous credits include the underrated Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and The LEGO Batman Movie.Even more exciting is the news that this origin film is officially happening in the near future (or a least is a much surer thing than the fourth movie starring Chris Pine as Kirk seems to be). Production on the film is set to start later this year and will premiere in theaters sometime in 2025. This prequel cant help but raise questions about how it will affect the canonical Star Trek timeline(s). Will this story tie into the Star Trek: Enterprise series? As such‚ will Scott Bakulas Jonathan Archer (pictured above) make an appearance‚ perhaps as one of the first presidents of the Federation? Or will this film completely rewrite the timeline/create a new one just like J.J. Abrams did with his films starring Pine as Kirk?Time will tell! And it looks like well get our answers sometime next year. [end-mark]The post Star Trek Origin Film Is Finally Happening! Gets 2025 Release Window appeared first on Reactor.
