This Star Trek Movie Has The Highest Rotten Tomatoes Score In The Franchise
Ever since the relatively modest success of “Star Trek Beyond,” a fourth installment for the crew of the Kelvin timeline has always been on the cards, but developing it has been a mission in itself. For James T. Kirk actor Chris Pine, it’s as much of a waiting game as it is for fans. Speaking to Business Insider this month, Pine admitted he did not know the state of “Star Trek 4”: “I honestly don’t know. There was something in the news of a new writer coming on board. I thought there was already a script, but I guess I was wrong, or they decided to pivot. As it’s always been with ‘Trek,’ I just wait and see.”
The new writer in question is Steve Yockey, who was brought on in March and whose credits include penning episodes for “Supernatural” as well as writing “The Flight Attendant.” Those credits alone make for an interesting collection of out-there ideas that could make him a good fit in the world of “Star Trek.” Just what story details that will include is unknown. For some time, it was rumored that Kirk would travel back in time and find himself on an adventure alongside his own father, who in this era is played by Chris Hemsworth. Seeing the two together on screen would certainly make for a monumental entry in the franchise, but for now, the Enterprise will have to remain docked until anything else develops.
