Two Star Trek Movies announced - One is the Quentin Tarantino movie!

We have breaking news this evening out of tonight’s Paramount Pictures presentation at the 2018 CinemaCon conference in Las Vegas, the annual gathering of National Association of Theater Owners in the United States!

Paramount CEO Jim Gianopulos took the stage to discus some of the studio’s upcoming slate — ranging from a sequel to Top Gun to spin-offs in the Transformers and Cloverfield series — and to the surprise of the audience, he personally confirmed that Paramount is not working on just one Trek film with partner Skydance Pictures… but two!

We’ve known for some time that multiple story treatments were being batted around for another big-screen Trek adventure, from the 2016-announced George Kirk story which would see the return of actor Chris Hemsworth to the franchise, to the more recent out-of-the-blue news that Quentin Tarantino was developing a Trek tale. (We’ve reached out to Paramount for comment on today’s announcement, but the studio did not have any additional comment at this time.)

We don’t have any additional information past the on-stage comment from Gianopulos — like if the current Kelvin Timeline cast will be involved in one or both of the films, official writer or director announcements, or other specific details — and it’s also unclear as to what timetable Paramount is considering for a release of either film, as the ongoing production on Star Trek: Discovery may impact scheduling (as the reverse occurred when Beyond debuted in 2016).

Sounds like they have big plans for the movies

Word is, one of them is the Quinten Tarantino Star Trek project

S.J. Clarkson has been tapped to direct “Star Trek 4,” making her the first female to helm a film in the “Star Trek” franchise.

Paramount Pictures had no comment. The studio announced at CinemaCon in Las Vegas that it was planning a fourth movie with Chris Hemsworth, who appeared as Chris Pine’s father in 2009’s “Star Trek.” Zachary Quinto is also set to return. Paramount is developing another “Star Trek” film from J.J. Abrams and Quentin Tarantino, but sources say it is still being written and would come after the fourth movie.

While details on “Star Trek 4” are vague, sources say a key plot point sees Pine’s character running into his father (Hemsworth) in a time travel ploy.

J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay penned the screenplay. Abrams and Lindsey Weber will produce through Bad Robot Productions, while David Ellison and Dana Goldberg of Skydance Media will executive produce.

The original 2009 reboot “Star Trek” earned $385 million worldwide, while its sequel “Star Trek: Into Darkness” made $467 million globally in 2013. The third, “Star Trek Beyond,” brought in $343 million worldwide in 2016.

Clarkson is best known for her work on the TV scene with shows such as “Dexter,” “Bates Motel,” “Orange is the New Black,” and “Jessica Jones.” She recently directed a handful of episodes for Marvel’s “The Defenders.”

Clarkson is repped by WME and the Curtis Brown Group.

Variety

It seems like the first movie could be closing off the Kelvin (new films) timeline, and the Tarantino one is taking place back in the Prime Timeline

Ahhh so the QT Manson/Sharon Tate film is his priority for now? That's cool. Stoked for both.
