This would be the “top secret” untitled project produced by J.J. Abrams we reported on in April, which Paramount set for a June 9, 2023 release date. According to Deadline, the project is now moving at “warp speed” with plans to begin production next spring.
According to Deadline, “Shakman’s now an A-list film director who chose Star Trek over several other offers.” According to the trade, nabbing Shakman is “a coup” for Paramount’s Emma Watts who joined the studio last summer and put a hold on the various Star Trek projects in development at the time.
Deadline is also reporting that the film is based on a script written by Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Lindsey Beer. Robertson-Dworet co-wrote the 2018 Tomb Raider movie and 2019’s Captain Marvel.
There are no details yet on how this Star Trek movie fits (or doesn’t fit) in with the Kelvin Universe or the Prime Universe television shows and films. Howver, after the story came out Deadline reporter Justin Kroll indicated the film is written for the Kelvin crew, but “no deals are done for talent.”
