Steve Yockey, best known for creating Max series “The Flight Attendant” with Kaley Cuoco, has been tapped to write “Star Trek 4” for Paramount Pictures, according to an insider with knowledge of the project.
“Star Trek 4” has been through a number of iterations, including a version that would have found Chris Pine’s James T. Kirk traveling back in time and teaming up with his father, played by Chris Hemsworth. Screenwriters Lindsey Beer (“Sierra Burgess Is a Loser”) and Geneva Robertson-Dworet (“Captain Marvel”) wrote previous drafts of the script.
“WandaVision” filmmaker Matt Shakman was most recently attached to direct “Star Trek 4,” but bowed out to tackle “Fantastic Four” for Marvel instead.
