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
