An untitled Star Trek film is an upcoming American science fiction film directed by Toby Haynes and written by Seth Grahame-Smith. Based on the television series Star Trek created by Gene Roddenberry, it is intended to be the 14th film in the Star Trek film franchise.

Paramount was revealed to be expanding its Star Trek film slate in January 2024, starting with what was described as an origin story for the franchise. Haynes and Grahame-Smith were attached to the project by then.

The film is set to be released theatrically in the United States in 2025 by Paramount Pictures.

Production edit

Development edit

Paramount Pictures was revealed in January 2024 to be expanding its Star Trek film slate to have multiple films in development, even as they continued to develop the next entry in the franchise's reboot films following Star Trek Beyond (2016). This move was inspired by the success of the multiple Star Trek television series on the streaming service Paramount+. While the in-development Star Trek 4 was described as the "final chapter" in the main film series, the new film that had been added to the slate was an origin story reportedly set decades before the first reboot film, Star Trek (2009). Toby Haynes had been hired to direct the new film and Seth Grahame-Smith was writing the script. As with the reboot films, J. J. Abrams was producing through his company Bad Robot.[1] By the end of March, the project was further along in development than Star Trek 4 and was expected to begin pre-production by the end of the year. Paramount wanted lower budgets for both films due to the lower box office returns of the previous reboot films compared to other big franchises like Star Wars and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. At that time, the film was reported to be an origin story for the entire franchise, not just the reboot films, indicating it could be set in the "Prime Timeline" rather than the alternate "Kelvin Timeline" that the reboot films are set in.[2] Paramount officially announced the film at CinemaCon in April 2024, and revealed that filming was expected to begin in late 2024 for a planned 2025 release.[3]

Filming edit

Principal photography is expected to begin in late 2024.[3]

Release edit

The film is set to be released theatrically in the United States in 2025 by Paramount Pictures.[3]
