Star Trek 4 may finally take flight as a new screenwriter is penning what is billed as “the final chapter” of the Starship Enterprise crew led by Chris Pine as Captain James T. Kirk. The J.J. Abrams-produced and Justin Lin-directed Star Trek Beyond was the last Star Trek movie to hit theaters in the summer of 2016. Now 8 years later, this is the longest time there hasn’t been a Star Trek movie in theaters since Star Trek: The Motion Picture launched Gene Roddenberry’s 1960s TV series as a film franchise in 1979.
