- Hemsworth said he was unsatisfied with the script and in 2019 production on Star Trek 4 was canceled and S.J. Clarkson moved on to other projects. With it seeming like the studio would not pay Pine to return as Kirk, it appeared the studio wanted to invest in new leads for Star Trek and had two other projects in development.

Eight years.
That’s how long it’s been since we last got a new Star Trek movie (with 2016’s Star Trek Beyond). A follow-up, Star Trek 4, has been much reported on during those eight years, but it remains nowhere near being made, let alone released. It’s like we’ve been stuck in the Guardian of Forever all this time, and the situation raises one big question: What’s the holdup?
Meanwhile, the news broke this week that a new Star Trek prequel film is in the works from director Toby Haynes (Andor) and writer Seth Grahame-Smith (Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter), but that it is unrelated to Star Trek 4. So Paramount is gearing up for a different Trek movie when they can’t even get Trek 4 off the ground? Hmmm…
Looking at the 45-year history of Star Trek on the big screen, we see that the first four William Shatner-led films were produced and released over the course of seven years (from 1979 to 1986), while the entire run of six movies from The Motion Picture in 1979 to The Undiscovered Country in 1991 happened over a span of 12 years. All four Patrick Stewart/Next Generation pictures were made over the course of eight years (from Generations in 1994 to Nemesis in 2002). And the Chris Pine reboot series might’ve slowed things down some after its 2009 debut, but still managed to do three movies in seven years.

Was that tease just pre-release hype by Abrams intended to get folks excited for Beyond? It’s impossible to say, of course. But considering that Beyond made about a hundred million dollars less than its predecessor, Into Darkness, at the worldwide box office, and didn’t even break $200 million domestically, it’s no surprise that not much was heard about the proposed fourth film for some time after that. Still, by 2018 there were reportedly three different scripts in development for a potential Star Trek 4, and one of them was coming from none other than Quentin Tarantino.

I'd be fine with either the theater or streaming.
I wouldn't watch it no matter where it was playing.

So whatever happened to Star Trek 4? Hollywood happened to Star Trek 4. They didn’t stop making William Shatner movies because William Shatner was done. They stopped because the studio thought they could get more bang for their buck out of the younger Next Generation cast. And when the time came, they didn’t stop making Patrick Stewart movies because Patrick Stewart was done. If his last film, Nemesis, was a hit, you can be sure the studio would’ve trotted out Picard and the Enterprise-E one more time.
