 The Star Trek movie franchise isn’t as
dead as we thought. British director S.J. Clarkson has been tasked to direct
Star Trek 4. Clarkson has directed a lot of British and American TV shows and
would be the first woman to ever direct a Star Trek film. Paramount Pictures is
also making the standalone Quentin Tarantino film. The contracts of Chris Pine,
Simon Pegg, Karl Urban and Zachary Quinto expired in 2017 but Quinto revealed
there’s up to three scripts in the works for the film: "First of all, I think
there’s a couple of scripts. Because there was a script being written before
Quentin Tarantino came up with his idea for a potential film. And so I think
they are kind of developing more than one. So I don’t know what is going to
happen. Quentin is off doing another movie. So, I feel like we are in a state of
anticipation. All of us are really excited about the idea of working with
Quentin on a Trek film, but I know Simon Pegg and Doug Jung, who wrote the last
film, are writing a script and there are another set of writers writing a
script. So I don’t know. I don’t know what’s going to happen." Star Trek: Wrath
of Khan’s Nicholas Meyer has also reported that he was working on a trilogy of
Star Trek films for CBS All Access. Those films are on hold because CBS is suing
its parent company National Amusements in an effort to block a merger with
Viacom (which owns Paramount Pictures). One that is sorted out then the two
companies that control the Star Trek series and films would be under one roof.
