Rumors of a fourth installment in the rebooted Star Trek film franchise gained considerable traction last year when The Hollywood Reporter posted about the newly signed contracts that landed Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto a lot more money to make another film. Of course, the space seed was planted long before that, but this weekend’s news that Chris Hemsworth would return for Star Trek 4 indicated that the project was already in development. Now Paramount has officially announced that the film has been green-lit, with the rest of the cast expected to rejoin Pine and Quinto on the bridge of the Enterprise.
