Star Trek reinvents itself as a thriller for its next reboot
The film, slated for 2028, draws inspiration from Training Day and USS Alabama to explore corruption within the Federation.
After six decades of space adventures, the Star Trek saga reaches a new milestone: the next installment will be the first thriller in its history. Written and directed by Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, who adapted Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, the film is not expected to be released before 2028. The directors said they are drawing the mood from the classics Training Day by Antoine Fuqua and USS Alabama by Tony Scott, highlighting corruption and moral drift of powerful institutions. The previous entry, Star Trek Beyond (2016), gives way to a still-secret plot and an undisclosed cast. According to AlloCiné, the series Battlestar Galactica is rated 3.8, suggesting a possible military and naval influence for this reboot.
