After months devoid of news it seems that work is beginning again on the big screen version of Star Trek. Overnight a new report has surfaced via Deadline claiming that the studio has tapped Star Trek: Discovery writer Kalinda Vazquez to pen the script for a brand new Trek movie.
Vazquez joined Discovery as a consulting producer during season 3 and wrote the teleplay for “Terra Firma, Part 2.” She also wrote the Short Treks episode “Ask Not.” Her other writing credits include Fear the Walking Dead, Once Upon a Time and Prison Break.
According to the report Vazquez is working on “an original movie that she hatched.” It’s also understood that J.J. Abrams production company, Bad Robot, will be producing the project.
This new comes following a number of false starts including a planned Star Trek 4 with Chris Pine and co. plus a potential script from Quentin Tarantino. No word yet on when, where or how this film will tie in to the wider Star Trek universe.
