Paramount has another Star Trek movie idea in the works, since all the others have fallen apart

The last few years have been rough for the world of Star Trek movies. While CBS All Access (now Paramount Plus) has been moving forward with multiple new shows involving exciting new adventures and the return of beloved old space-captains, the movie side of things has struggled to get multiple projects from big-name creators off the ground—specifically an idea from Quentin Tarantino that never seemed like a real thing and some kind of clever twist on the Star Trek concept from Fargo’s Noah Hawley that would’ve involved an intergalactic pandemic (yes, really). Now, Paramount is going back to the space-drawing board for a totally new Star Trek concept from Kalinda Vazquez, a writer for Star Trek: Discovery and an executive producer on Fear The Walking Dead who previously worked on Hulu’s adaptation of Runaways and is joining up with George R.R. Martin for HBO’s adaptation of Roger Zelazny’s Roadmarks. (That George R.R. Martin guy sure seems to have a lot of free time these days, huh? He must not have anything else he needs to work on.)
