Looks Like Star Trek 4 Is Back On Track With A New Director

Well known for his work on TV shows like Fargo and Legion, and the writer of that Doctor Doom movie we’ll never see, Noah Hawley is reportedly in final talks with Paramount Pictures to write and direct Star Trek 4, i.e. the fourth installment of the Kelvin Timeline film series. According to Deadline, if a deal is worked out, Hawley would produce Star Trek 4 through his 26 Keys production banner, alongside J.J Abrams and his Bad Robot banner.

If things work out for Noah Hawley on the Star Trek 4 front, this will be his second time directing a movie, the first time being Lucy in the Sky, which was released on October 4. No specific plot details for Hawley’s version of Star Trek 4 have been revealed yet, other than that it will see the return of the actors who make up the crew of the rebooted U.S.S. Enterprise, namely Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana, Simon Pegg and John Cho.

Originally the plan for Star Trek 4 was for Captain James T. Kirk to meet his father, George Kirk, during a time travel adventure. Played by Chris Hemsworth, George died in battle only minutes after James was born in 2009’s Star Trek, which is one of the ways the Kelvin timeline differs from the original Star Trek timeline.

Since then, the Star Trek franchise has enjoyed new life in the streaming world thanks to shows like Star Trek: Discovery and the upcoming Picard. With today’s news, assuming there isn’t another unexpected behind-the-scenes shakeup, we can look forward to Star Trek 4 reviving the franchise’s cinematic contributions.

Stay tuned to CinemaBlend for more updates on how Star Trek 4 is coming along. In the meantime, plan your trips to the theater in the near future accordingly with our 2019 release schedule and 2020 release schedule.

Star Wars Lightsabers And The Famous Jedi And Sith Who Wielded Them

7 hours ago The lightsaber: it is the weapon of both the Jedi and the Sith in the Star Wars universe. Not as clumsy or random as a blaster; an elegant weapon for a more civilized age. Powered by kyber crystals, these energy blades are capable of cutting into almost anything and deflecting blaster bolts. They come in assorted colors, and nearly every Force user featured in a galaxy far, far away has wielded one. Even a few individuals who aren’t gifted in the Force have had opportunities to use lightsabers. With Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker , the final chapter of the Skywalker Saga, arriving soon, that movie might be the last time in a while that we see a lightsaber on the big screen, since we still have no official idea on what the next trilogy will be about (though the now-defunct Benioff/Weiss trilogy planned on exploring the origins of the Jedi). So because the end of an era is almost upon us, we’re looking back at the most famous lightsabers in Star Wars cinem...

What Avengers: Infinity War’s Doctor Strange Would Have Looked Like In Iron Man's Armor

7 hours ago Ever since that car crash cut short his surgical career and he discovered the existence of Kamar-Taj, Doctor Strange has dedicated his life to magic and using his sorcerous abilities to protect humanity, like when Thanos’ minions came calling in Avengers: Infinity War . That movie saw Strange teaming up with Iron Man, among other heroes, and some concept art has emerged showing the Master of the Mystic Arts relying on Tony Stark’s technology during the tale. Yes, it turns out a scenario was envisioned where Doctor Strange would don the Iron Man armor, and the artwork on the left side shows Strange combining his sorcery with the armor’s capabilities to protect himself against an attack from Ebony Maw, a member of Thanos’ Black Order. Presumably this moment would have taken place when Maw was torturing Strange aboard his ship. In the actual movie, there wasn’t an epic battle on the ship, as Spider-Man and Iron Man merely blasted a hole and Maw was sucked into the v...
