But things took a turn for the new Star Trek and its crew with 2016’s Star Trek: Beyond.
At CinemaCon, Paramount CEO Jim Gianopulos revealed the studio is working on not one but two new Star Trek movies.
Quentin Tarantino made a deal with Paramount to develop a Star Trek movie, and according to Spock actor Zachary Quinto, the studio still has plans to make at least one more film with his crew.
And lots of hardcore fans wholeheartedly embraced the film’s blend of classic Star Trek storytelling and Justin Lin-directed action.
