STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN Producer Is Developing a New STAR TREK Film Unlike Anything That's Been Done Before

Robert Salin, the producer of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, has revealed that he’s developing a new Star Trek feature film project that he’s in talks with Paramount Pictures about. He also says that it’s unlike anything that’s been done with the franchise before.

While talking to Den of Geek he explained:

“I don’t have it completely written, but I have a lot of it written. I have a concept for another Star Trek feature that I’ve had discussions with Paramount about — at least on the phone. This one I guarantee you is unlike anything that has been done in Star Trek, and it will be part of the canon, but they (the studio) don’t want to talk about it until they see what Noah Hawley does."

When talking about the project that Noah Hawley (Legion, Fargo) is working on, Salin said:

“I’m really intrigued that the studio has brought Noah Hawley into the Star Trek thing because I have complete respect for his work. I find his work unique, engaging, and fascinating. I think the guy is really a special talent. I’ll be very curious to see what he brings to the franchise.”

I like Hawley’s work as well, but I’m also super curious to know that Salin’s project entails! I think I’m more interested in Salin’s project than Hawley’s just because Wrath of Khan is my favorite star trek film. He went on to talk about his project a little more saying:

“Unless I am completely off base here, it is completely different. Nothing has been done like this and I think it will become part of the canon. That’s all. I hope one day to be able to have the meeting and have them say, ‘Hey, Bob, come on in, let’s talk about that.’”

Well, I hope Salin gets a chance to make his Star Trek film one day. I’d love to see what he’s come up with!
