‘Star Trek 4’ Is Still Very Much a Possibility

By George Robbins

For many years, the ‘Star Trek‘ franchise has held its place as one of the most popular forms of media argued about over the internet. This stems from the fact that there are obvious similarities between the ‘Star Trek’ series and the ‘Star Wars‘ series. By many similarities, I mean that they both take place in space and that there is really nothing else all too similar about them whatsoever. They both take their own approaches to how they handle the space sci-fi genre and they have entirely different concepts to handling it. This is the actual reason why many people end up arguing over both series because they are just trying to prove that one series is superior over the other. In reality, it doesn’t matter in the least and both series are entertaining in their own ways.

Back in 2009, we were given a treat that no one really expected to see all that much and that was a resurgence in ‘Star Trek’ as a series. This came about when J.J. Abrams made the 2009 ‘Star Trek‘ film which went back and retold the original story of how James T. Kirk became the captain of the Enterprise in the original series. This change was a welcome one and it gave us three very interesting films to watch which kept us entertained over the following years. Those three movies all told their own story and they kept us entertained as time went on without it feeling like they might have been overdoing it. This revived many more peoples’ interests in the franchise as a whole and the past few years have been abuzz.

‘Star Trek’ not only started to make its resurgence again on the big screen as TV shows started releasing once again. More specifically, a new set of shows started going into development because the studio saw how much of a desire there still was for ‘Star Trek’ content. This need to continuously get content led to the development of numerous shows and even continuations of older shows in general. There is no doubt in any ones minds that the movies had a huge part to play in the ‘Star Trek’ renaissance that we now see today, but where then, is the next movie. The answer is simple, it is on the way, just not anytime soon.

According to the studio, they never planned to stop making the newer ‘Star Trek’ films and they actually want to keep them going. Unfortunately for fans of the films, their own popularity spawned the television series that were previously mentioned. The studio is actually planning on focusing more heavily on the TV programs for the foreseeable future because they see that as being the better investment. They have assured fans though that ‘Star Trek 4’ and other future films in the new series are definitely not cancelled. This means there is hope that we will see new ‘Star Trek’ films, just not for awhile yet due to the way things are currently going down on planet Earth.
