First Details Revealed for New Star Trek Film

The directors of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves want to attract audiences who have not previously cared about the franchise.

John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein have revealed the first details about a new Star Trek movie. The directors of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves are preparing a thriller designed to step outside the franchise’s familiar formula and interest viewers who are unfamiliar with it.

“We think less about what continuity or timeline the film belongs to. We are much more interested in how to appeal to viewers who do not consider themselves Trekkies. What can we do that has never been done before in the franchise?”

According to Daley and Goldstein, the story will focus on Starfleet and showcase a crisis within the organization. The creators cite Training Day and Crimson Tide as their main points of reference. The first film followed a young police officer facing corruption within his own unit, while the second centered on a command conflict aboard a nuclear submarine during a crisis.

Daley and Goldstein will serve as writers, directors, and producers on the project. Paramount intends to use the film to launch a new branch of the franchise that will not be connected to the Captain Kirk stories starring Chris Pine.

The project does not yet have an announced cast, production timeline, or release date.
