JJ Abrams and Paramount Confirms 2023’s STAR TREK Film to Be a Kelvin Timeline Story, Chris Pine and Cast in Talks to Return

By TrekCore Staff - February 15, 2022

Today on Paramount’s investor day announcements this afternoon, Star Trek Kelvin Timeline executive producer JJ Abrams made it clear that the next Trek film — currently scheduled for December 2023 — is going to be a return to his theatrical universe.

While Abrams’ statement referred to only the “original cast” when describing plans for the movie, which he said would be in production by the end of 2022, The Hollywood Reporter, Variety and Deadline each confirmed that the films is to focus on the Kelvin Timeline crew — seen previously in the 2009 Star Trek film, 2013’s Star Trek Into Darkness, and 2016’s Star Trek Beyond.

JJ Abrams’ statement:

We are thrilled to say that we are hard at work on a new ‘Star Trek’ film that will be shooting by the end of the year that will be featuring our original cast and some new characters that I think are going to be really fun and exciting and help take ‘Star Trek’ into areas that you’ve just never seen before.

We’re thrilled about this film, we have a bunch of other stories that we’re talking about that we think will be really exciting so can’t wait for you to see what we’re cooking up. But until then, live long and prosper.

Of course we’ve heard much of this all before, with an end to the Kelvin Timeline seeming likely after previous financial negotiations with Chris Pine fell apart in 2018 — so while this kind of thing seems like it wouldn’t be so publicly discussed if things weren’t moving back to fruition, we’ll still be waiting for formal news of contract sign-offs.

The untitled 2023 Star Trek film is set to be directed by Matt Shakman, with today’s announcement signaling an intention to bring back Chris Pine as Captain Kirk, Zachary Quinto as Spock, Karl Urban as Dr. McCoy, Zoe Saldana as Uhura, Simon Pegg as Scotty, and John Cho as Sulu.

The difference between TOS Sulu and AOS Sulu is that AOS Sulu would have a really aesthetic social media with pictures of his plants and family where everything is colour coordinated and organised with dividers, and TOS Sulu would have a meme account with badly taken pictures of him and Chekov doing ridiculous things scattered in

She married a Vulcan and came to live on his world where her human-woman emotions had no place. She has accepted every bit of the unemotionalism Vulcan could dish out with no loss of her own warmth and human caring…but it has had to be buried inside, in deference to her husband’s customs and world.

Important cut out scene showing that Kirk isn’t a reckless asshole.
When he was a kid, his brother ran away after he and Jim are abused by Frank.

What you want doesn’t matter. You’re no-one.

I will NEVER forgive them for cutting this scene. It’s SO important to his character.

I feel like the AOS trek characters are just the TOS trek characters if they were put through Google translate too many times.
