Chris Pine And Zachary Quinto Confirmed For A Fourth STAR TREK Film

Lee B. Golden III

Star Trek: Beyond is reportedly revving up production this week in Canada and the word now is that lead actors Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto have signed onto a fourth film, according to THR. Both, who respectively reprise the roles of James T. Kirk and Vulcan-born Spock, were reportedly optioned a fourth movie as the result of concessions made by Paramount when the intial 7-year deal in 2007 prior to the two appearing in J.J. Abrams 2009 reboot, Star Trek, expired last year as development on the upcoming third film languished. As a result, compromises were made to help stave off settling anything in court, which, incidentally, allowed not only for a bigger pay for both actors, but the additional attachment of a fourth film which essentially confirms a fourth Star Trek is now in order. The third, to be directed by Fast And Furious franchise helmer Justin Lin, with […]

Lee B. Golden III

Award-winning and nominated Australian-born cinematographer Stephen Windon‘s career resumé as of late is worth highlighting. Most notably, his credits on four of the Fast And Furious films within the franchise in addition to the 2013 sequel adventure, G.I. Joe: Retaliation alone stand out as worthy highlights to list as credentials for someone possibly looking to spread his wings in the industry. Alas, it’s today’s report from Deadline that solidifies it for Windon in lieu of his latest directorial debut announcement, Full Throttle, for Singapore-based DragonSlate Media. The film will tell the story of a former motorcycle racer-turned-courier forced to race through the city to perform dangerous criminal acts while avoiding law enforcement at the behest of the criminal mastermind holding his girlfriend hostage. The film is set to be a major collabration between Hollywood and Malaysia film crews. The Matrix Trilogy executive producer Andrew Mason is said to be leading […]

Fans of Kingsman: The Secret Service enjoyed their fair share of watching actress Sofia Boutella light up the screen starting back in Feburary. Nowadays, little is known about her newly reported participation in the tentatively-titled Star Trek 3, but according to Deadline, she’s been cast nonetheless. Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and Karl Urban are all expected to return among others following the 2009 reboot launch and 2013 sequel, in which our main crew of The Enterprise will surely be on their five-year long mission to seek out new life and new civilizations, and to boldly go…well, you know the rest.

Lee B. Golden III

Well, it took long enough, but Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions and Bad Robot finally found a director for the third installation of Star Trek in Justin Lin. The search for a director began last year as J.J. Abrams, who directed the first two movies which earned major commercial success in 2009 and last year, was in talks to possibly take the reigns of Disney’s latest efforts with Star Wars: The Force Awakens as of late. Lin, notably known for his work on four of the now seven Fast And Furious films for Universal Pictures, was among a shortlist of five other directors a week ago. The director is currently in the running for other projects which, as things stand, include directing Jeremy Renner in a new Bourne movie, as well as a yet-uncertain return to the Fast And Furious franchise for a multi-film finale as reported in November. Roberto […]

Frakes On Directing STAR TREK 3: #BringInRiker!

Lee B. Golden III

The long-gestating development of Paramount Pictures’s third installment in the rebooted Star Trek franchise is currently in-limbo over who will direct it. Roberto Orci, who helped write the first two films was long rumored to direct the film before stepping aside as Cornetto Trilogy helmer Edgar Wright became the most recent notable favorite to direct after filming a scene in last year’s Star Trek Into Darkness. The response has largely been positive for Wright after fans were saddened when he and Marvel hit a creative fork in the road back in May with potentially directing Ant-Man, and so it seems now fans have something substantive to look forward to the third film. However, you needn’t look further than the most recent news mentioning the name of actor and filmmaker Jonathan Frakes who is now on record “unabashedly” sharing his interest in directing Star Trek 3, according to Komo News. Frakes […]
