STAR TREK Origin Story Movie to Be Set Decades Before 2009 Film

Movie Star Trek Image Safe about 7 months agoby Jessica Fisher

A few months ago, it was announced that fans would be getting another Star Trek film, but no details were given at the time. Now we know this will not exactly be the sequel we’d been expecting. This week at CinemaCon, it was announced that this movie will take place decades before the original 2009 Star Trek feature.

Andor director Toby Haynes will direct from a script by Seth Grahame-Smith (who is also writing another buzzed-about CinemaCon title, the third Now You See Me film). J.J. Abrams is returning to produce.

This isn’t the first time a Star Trek film has been teased in the last few years, and it’s not the first time a prequel has been discussed. But it looks like for now, things are on track for this film to happen. Are you looking forward to this prequel project?
