New Star Trek Movie Announced, Directors & First Details Revealed

A new Star Trek movie is in the works.

Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley are a filmmaking duo who worked on the scripts for movies like 2011’s Horrible Bosses, 2013’s The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, and 2013’s Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2. They directed their first movie together in 2015, Vacation, before they went on to make 2018’s Game Night and 2023’s Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.

Now, per Deadline, Goldstein and Daley have been tapped to write and direct a new Star Trek movie for Paramount Pictures. They will also produce under their GoldDay banner.

What do we know about the new Star Trek movie?

Plot details are being kept under wraps at this time; however, it is known that the movie will be “a completely new take in the Star Trek universe and is not connected to any previous or current television series, movie, or prior movie development projects. That pitch falls in line with Skydance founder David Ellison’s recent comments on an earning call where he said the next Star Trek film would not be a sequel in the Chris Pine-led series but something different with new actors. While not confirmed, sources also add it’s likely you will also see new characters being featured in this version.”

Further details are not available at this time. A release date has not yet been set.

In addition to the aforementioned titles, Goldstein and Daley also worked on the stories or scripts for 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming, 2021’s Vacation Friends, 2023’s The Flash, and 2025’s A Minecraft Movie. They’ve got an action-adventure film titled Mayday with Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh that is also coming out at some point, though that project also does not have a release date.

The last theatrically released Star Trek movie was 2016’s Star Trek Beyond, while Star Trek: Section 31 premiered on Paramount+ this past January.
