What we do know, though, is that the pair behind Dungeons &amp; Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, which also starred Chris Pine, are currently writing, directing, and producing a new Star Trek film\u2014this time without Pine in the role of James T. Kirk\u2014in hopes of breathing new life into the franchise.<\/p>\n<p>Rumors have been swirling around for a new film project for quite some time, and now it\u2019s safe to say that it really is happening\u2014though this next movie won\u2019t be a continuation of the story that JJ Abrams started back in 2009 with Star Trek, starring Pine alongside Zackary Quinto and Zoe Salda\u00f1a. Sitting down at Sundance with <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Variety<\/a>, Pine said when asked about the future of the franchise, \u201cYou probably know more than I do.\u201d And when further questioned about if he had any advice for the new Paramount leadership in regards to Star Trek, Pine answered simply: \u201cAdvice? Have fun, good luck, live long and prosper.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What Do We Know About the New Star Trek Project?<\/p>\n<p>Any details about the plot are still shrouded in quite a bit of mystery, but <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Deadline reported late last year<\/a> that sources say Goldstein and Daley\u2019s film is a completely new spin on the Star Trek universe and won\u2019t be connected to any previous or current television series or movie. And, while not yet confirmed, it\u2019s also likely that new characters will be featured in this version, bringing an entirely new story to life.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And fans seem to be on board with this potential new direction for the franchise. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/startrek\/comments\/1ox4i2w\/comment\/nountri\/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=web3x&amp;utm_name=web3xcss&amp;utm_term=1&amp;utm_content=share_button\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">One fan on Reddit said<\/a>, \u201cYou know what? I\u2019m actually totally okay with this. We\u2019ve been wanting new characters. I\u2019m personally hoping that this is in the prime universe.\u201d Another added, \u201cI hope it\u2019s prime universe too, considering the use of the Kelvin Timeline is moot due to Kurtzman Trek. A sequel to Pine\u2019s stuff would\u2019ve been great several years back\u2014now it has outlived its usefulness and isn\u2019t necessarily relevant anymore.\u201d And everyone seems to be on board with the vision that Goldstein and Daley are likely to bring, praising Dungeons &amp; Dragon\u2019s fun, irreverent nature that still stayed true to the game and lore. \u201cThe D&amp;D flick achieved that peak balance so well\u2014tons of nods to the game while also being a hilarious fantasy journey overall,\u201d said one user.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Are you looking forward to the new Star Trek movie?
