    I enjoyed the D & D movie, so maybe they can pull off something good. Maybe they could just do something set in, say, 2467.

    However, I’m extremely sad that it probably won’t be Crisis Point 3.

    After breathing new life into high-profile IP like the Spider-Man franchise and Dungeons & Dragons, Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley are looking to boldly go where no directors have gone before with a very popular franchise. Sources tell Deadline, the duo are coming on to write, produce and are attached to direct a new original Star Trek film for Paramount. They will produce under their GoldDay banner.

    Based on this, it seems like they’ve completely broken from JJ Abrams/Bad Robot - they were seemingly always connected to previous projects.

      It is a disappointment that we aren’t getting more from them. However, maybe it is a good thing for this type of movie.

      That’s good. The repercussions of the Bad Robot era have really derailed Trek in a way it’s just started healing from.

      While Discovery wasn’t in the Kelvinverse, the connection to Bad Robot probably gave it that similar style. The Section 31 movie wasn’t connected directly to Bad Robot as company, but it did share a writer.

      Strange New Worlds has been a huge step in the right direction, though it came directly out of Discovery, making it kind of a prototype for modern live action Trek trying to both be “gritty” and classic Trek at the same time. I think it has mostly succeeded, but now that it’s proven there’s an appetite away from Bad Robot era Trek, I hope the new series goes further.

      While I hope whatever they make doesn’t share a tone with the new DND movie, I appreciate that the DND movie was obviously well versed in the setting and knew what fans were about. Applying that same mindset to Trek would be great.

        Discovery never had a connection to Abrams/Bad Robot, unless you were to count Alex Kurtzman, but he’s been involved with every series of the new era, so…you kind of can’t?

        In any case, I agree - the D&D movie was a lot of fun, and while I wouldn’t want a ST movie to strike that tone, I’m interested to see what they cook up.
