Two New TREK Movies on the Way
Well that came out of nowhere. After a couple of years of rumours, dragging their heels and quickly changing the topic whenever anyone raises the subject, Paramount has finally announced not one, but two new Star Trek movies.
Kind of.
Despite various rumblings from J. J. Abrams and assorted cast members, there had been no official word from Paramount (who, lest we forget, actually pay for them) regarding a new movie since the underperforming Star Trek Beyond in 2016. That all changed at CinemaCon - where studios unveil their upcoming projects to industry figures. Paramount CEO Jim Gianopulos announced that the studio are planning two new Star Trek movies in partnership with Skydance Pictures, who co-financed both Beyond and Into Darkness.
Neither film has been officially greenlit by Paramount, but it’s the most promising sign yet that new movies are on the way.
Although Gianopulos didn’t elaborate, the next day it was widely reported that the first film would be directed by S. J. Clarkson, and would reunite the Kelvin timeline cast.
It would be the feature début for Clarkson, who will be the first woman to helm a Trek movie. Although a movie novice, she’s certainly qualified, with her CV including multiple episodes of Jessica Jones, The Defenders, and Orange is the New Black.
The film will reportedly see the return of Chris Hemsworth as George Kirk - an idea first mooted by Abrams prior to the release of Beyond - with a script by Patrick McKay and John D. Payne.

INDEPENDENTS DAY - FC RABBATH
Born in Alexandra, Egypt in October 1986, director/writer FRED ‘FC’ RABBATH has been an inventor, author, comedian, journalist, and all around entrepreneur. He’s also hugely well-travelled thanks to his father’s work, which required Fred to live in several countries before he was even 16. Tirelessly prolific, he has written and directed a string of acclaimed short films and a number of features including Scarlet’s Witch (2014), The Hum (2015), The Movie Extra (2015), and especially A Brilliant Monster (2018), which we described as ‘quirky and highly watchable… a psychological horror/thriller that examines the nature of creativity and the obsessions which drive the creative mind’ He’s back later this year with THE WAITING, a highly unusual and unpredictable ghost story that turns slowly into an unusual romantic fable. We spoke to Fred about his background and his approach to his work in the independent movie sector.
HEART and SOUL
Known for re-shaping the landscape of movies as we know it (not just animated ones), Pixar has respectfully raised the bar with delightful, heartfelt aplomb. From the intense opening segment of Up where no matter how lacking in emotion you think you are, tears will still come running, to the joyous Randy Newman-scored Toy Story moments, to the roaring, superhero family dynamics in The Incredibles, there’s an endless array of remarkable Pixar memories. Even in just these highlighted animated spectacles alone, Pixar has imprinted many sequences into our brains that we will never, ever forget. Everyone has a favourite Pixar character, scene, quote, song, and catchphrase that still evokes something nostalgically magical in them. So, what’s yours?
