Eight years after the last Star Trek film, Chris Pine is among the many who would like to know if there’s another voyage planned.
Pine is making the rounds to promote his new film, Poolman, and didn’t have anything to share on when the space franchise may be refreshed.
“I honestly don’t know,” Pine told Business Insider this week when asked about a new Star Trek. “There was something in the news of a new writer coming on board. I thought there was already a script, but I guess I was wrong, or they decided to pivot. As it’s always been with Trek, I just wait and see.”
Pine was clear that communication from Paramount about the franchise has been fairly minimal ever since the release of Star Trek Beyond in 2016.
While television and streaming have lots of Star Trek projects, there has been no movement on a film. Rumors that Quentin Tarantino was interested in a Star Trek project never came to fruition, and multiple scripts have apparently been floated and fizzled.
Meanwhile, Chris Pine and many others wait and wonder.
