Paramount Pictures has tapped an unexpected duo to helm its next "Star Trek" movie: Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley. The writers, producers, and directors behind the 2023 blockbuster "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" and the 2018 indie hit "Game Night" are set to bring a fresh take to the beloved sci-fi franchise.

According to sources, this new film is not connected to any existing television series, movies, or development projects. This means that fans can expect entirely new characters to be introduced in the universe, although it remains unclear whether these characters will star or support the story.

The news comes as a surprise, especially after recent rumors hinted at a prequel and Quentin Tarantino's involvement. However, Paramount has shifted gears with their new regime, opting for Goldstein and Daley instead. The duo's track record suggests that they're well-suited to tackle this high-profile project.

Goldstein and Daley have already proven themselves as versatile filmmakers, capable of blending humor, nostalgia, and geek culture across multiple genres. Their upcoming film "Mayday" will reportedly follow a similar vein. As an added bonus, John Francis Daley's background as the actor Sam Weir from the cult classic TV series "Freaks and Geeks" makes this project all the more intriguing.

While opinions on whether Goldstein and Daley are the right fit for "Star Trek" remain divided, their creative vision and experience make them an attractive choice. Only time will tell if this bold new direction will revitalize the franchise or sink it to new depths – one thing is certain: fans will be eagerly awaiting more information about this highly anticipated project.
 
I'm kinda stoked about this new "Star Trek" movie, but also got some doubts 🤔. I mean, these guys have shown they can make a hit with "Dungeons & Dragons" and "Game Night", but "Star Trek" is like a whole different beast 💫. It's one of those franchises that needs to be handled just right or it'll get lost in space (pun intended 😂). Still, I think Goldstein and Daley are the perfect fit - they've got the chops to bring something fresh to the table while still respecting the fans' love for the series. And let's be real, who doesn't want to see some new characters come in and shake things up? 🤖🔮 My only concern is that this new direction might alienate some of the old-school fans, but I'm curious to see how it all comes together. Fingers crossed! 👍
 
I'm so stoked that someone else is getting a crack at the Star Trek movies 🚀👽! I mean, don't get me wrong, J.J. Abrams did an amazing job with the reboot, but it's been a while since we've seen a fresh face take the helm. Goldstein and Daley seem like they'd bring a fun, quirky vibe to the franchise, you know? Like, who wouldn't want to see Sam Weir from Freaks and Geeks make an appearance? 🤣 I'm actually kinda excited to hear how they'll put their own spin on it. As long as they don't mess with the core of what makes Star Trek so great, I'm all for it! Let's just hope they can live up to the hype and give us a movie that's out of this world 💫
 
OMG, like, can't wait for this new "Star Trek" movie 🚀... I mean, who needs continuity when you've got a fresh new team right? It's not like the franchise has been around forever or anything (looks at 2025 timeline) 😂. Seriously though, Goldstein and Daley seem legit, their track record is pretty cool. I'm low-key stoked to see what they bring to the table - hope it's not too much of a departure from the original formula... or will they just reboot everything 🤔? Only time (and probably a bunch of fanboy drama) will tell if this new direction works out 💡
 
🚀 So, I'm thinking, who gets to decide what's good for "Star Trek" anyway? The fans, or some faceless execs in Hollywood? And what's with this constant switching of plans? First, it was Tarantino, then Goldstein and Daley... it feels like they're trying to shake things up just to get attention. 🤔 But you know who the real winner is here? The writers' union. They must be salivating at the thought of all these new stories and characters to explore. It's a golden age for sci-fi writing, and I'm excited to see what they come up with! 👍
 
I'm hyped for this new "Star Trek" movie, but I gotta wonder what's going on with the creative team 🤔💡. Paramount went from talking about a prequel to suddenly bringing in Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley? It's like they're trying to shake things up without really thinking it through 🔄.

I mean, the guys behind "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" and "Game Night" are talented, don't get me wrong. They've shown they can balance humor and geek culture, but is that gonna translate to a sci-fi epic like "Star Trek"? I'm on the fence about it 🤷‍♂️.

At least we'll get some fresh faces in the universe, so fingers crossed that's where the magic happens 👍. Can't wait for more info, though!
 
think its cool they're bringing in goldstein & daley, they seem like a good fit for star trek. their track record with dungeons & dragons and game night shows they can balance humor & action well. not sure what to make of the prequel rumors tho 🤔 maybe this is a chance for them to create something new & different that doesn't feel tied to the existing stuff. idk if its gonna work, but i'm curious to see how it plays out 💡
 
I'm so hyped for a new "Star Trek" movie! I mean, who wouldn't want to see what these guys have up their sleeves? Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley seem like an awesome combo - they've already proven themselves with "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" and "Game Night", which both had me laughing out loud. The fact that they're not connected to any existing projects is a good thing, too - it's always exciting to see new characters and stories emerge in the franchise.

I'm curious to know how they'll balance the sci-fi with some humor and geek culture vibes. Will we get more of a light-hearted adventure or will it be a darker, more serious take on the universe? Either way, I think Goldstein and Daley are up for the challenge. Let's keep our fingers crossed that this new direction will bring something fresh to the table! 🚀
 
I'm low-key stoked about the news! Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley are a pretty dope duo, especially with their experience in geek culture from "Dungeons & Dragons" and "Game Night". I mean, who wouldn't want to see Sam Weir reprise his role as an actor? It's always fun to see those Easter eggs in new projects. The fact that they're bringing a fresh take on the franchise is exactly what we need right now. Let's hope they can balance action, humor, and heart without making it feel too disconnected from the original spirit of "Star Trek". Fingers crossed for this one!
 
🤔 So I think this is a pretty interesting move by Paramount, getting Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley on board for their next "Star Trek" film. On the one hand, it's not entirely surprising that they'd go with a new duo - we've seen some weird rumors floating around about prequels and Quentin Tarantino, so this feels like a more grounded approach. 🚀

What I'm curious to see is how Goldstein and Daley are going to balance the franchise's trademark sci-fi action with some of their more humor-driven sensibilities from films like "Game Night" and "Dungeons & Dragons". Will they lean into the geek culture aspect, or try to make it more accessible to a broader audience? 🤓

It's also great to see John Francis Daley getting involved - his background in acting is definitely an asset here. I'm not sure how I feel about this project just yet, but I do know that fans are going to be glued to their screens when the first trailer drops... 💻
 
I mean, who wouldn't want to see John Francis Daley's awkward 90s charm bring some much-needed weirdness to the Star Trek universe? It's like he's already wearing his Sam Weir t-shirt and thinking, 'You know what would be awesome? If I played a character in Space!' 🚀👕 The fact that they're taking it in a completely new direction is either going to be genius or a total mess, but hey, that's what makes life interesting, right? And let's be real, if Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley are the ones calling the shots, we might actually get some answers about the Federation's snack policies – because who doesn't want to know if they have any decent in-flight food options? 🍿👽
 
omg, I'm still trying to process the news 🤯... Paramount really shook things up by going with Goldstein and Daley instead of a prequel or Tarantino... their track record is crazy impressive though 💥 "Dungeons & Dragons" and "Game Night" are 2 of my fave movies from last year, so I'm stoked to see what they bring to the table 🎬. And can we talk about John Francis Daley's connection to "Freaks and Geeks"? that's just a bonus, imo 😊... now I'm curious to see how they'll balance the sci-fi with humor and nostalgia 👽💫... fingers crossed it works out!
 
man i'm lowkey hyped about this new star trek movie 🚀👽 they're bringing in jason and john from dungeons & dragons: honor among thieves which is actually pretty cool because those guys are all about blending humor and action with a bit of nerd love 💥 plus jonathan's got that mad writer producer director vibe going on which is exactly what star trek needs to shake things up 🤔 i mean we've had some pretty meh movies lately so fingers crossed they can bring the magic back ⚡️
 
🚀 just saw that Paramount is going with Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley for the next Star Trek movie and I gotta say, they're a pretty solid choice 🤔. I mean, those guys have already proven themselves with films like Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves and Game Night, which shows they can handle both humor and geek culture 🎥. And let's be real, who wouldn't want to see Sam Weir from Freaks and Geeks back on the big screen? 😆 Plus, it's a fresh start for the franchise, so fingers crossed they'll bring something new and exciting to the table 🤞. One thing's for sure, fans are gonna be hyped for this one...
 
idk why ppl are so stoked about the new star trek movie... dont get me wrong, i love a good sci-fi flick, but these guys from dungeons & dragons and game night? they seem like they're gonna make it all kinda cringy 🤣. i mean, i know some fans of the original show are all hyped up about this, but for me, it's just another reboot with new characters that'll probably get forgotten 5 mins after the movie comes out 🚫. still, gotta respect the duo's track record and willingness to take a risk – might just surprise us all 👀
 
I'm super stoked about the new "Star Trek" movie, gotta say! I mean, who wouldn't want a fresh take on the franchise? Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley seem like a sick combo - they've already proven themselves with films like "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" and "Game Night". I love that they're bringing their own unique vibe to the table, blending humor and geek culture. And can we talk about how cool it is that John Francis Daley's got that "Freaks and Geeks" cred? It's like he's already a part of the fandom. I'm low-key hoping this new direction will bring some excitement back to the franchise. Fingers crossed, though! 🚀
 
I'm kinda stoked to see what these guys bring to the table, you know? I mean, they're not exactly the most 'star-studded' directors out there (pun intended), but their track record shows they can handle a bunch of different tones and styles without losing the audience. Plus, having someone like John Francis Daley on board who's got that old-school geek cred from "Freaks and Geeks" is definitely an asset. I'm curious to see if they'll go for something more action-packed or if they'll lean into the sci-fi side of things – one thing's for sure, it won't be your standard 'Star Trek' fare 😎
 
I'm so down for some fresh blood in the Star Trek universe 🤩! These two guys have already proven they can bring that perfect blend of humor and geeky goodness to their movies, and I think that's exactly what "Star Trek" needs right now 😊. I mean, let's be real, the franchise has been a bit stale lately, but Goldstein and Daley seem like the kind of directors who would shake things up without completely revamping the formula 🔄. And can we talk about how awesome it is that they're both coming from different backgrounds? Like, John Francis Daley's acting experience on Freaks and Geeks is totally underrated 🤓. I'm curious to see what they'll do with this new "Star Trek" movie, but I've got a feeling it's gonna be good 😎
