Star Trek 4 Negotiations
Posted By:

During a Parmount Investors Day presentation, J. J. Abrams announced that they are planning to enter negotiations with the original Enterprise cast of the reboot films.

That's Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, John Cho and Simon Pegg. Anton Yelchin who played Checkov died in 2016.

So this could be real progress on the repeatedly delayed, scrapped and rewritten Star Trek 4.

But will they all be available?

Taking a look their IMDb pages to see what other projects they're all committed to over the next couple of years and might prevent them signing on, the first thing we noticed is that Chris, Zachary and John are listed as attached to this film.

Zoe, Karl and Simon also are but with a "(rumored)" qualifier.

Did whoever entered those know something that we haven't been told?

Perhaps not. Checking the Wayback archive it looks like Zoe's entry was added all the way in August 2018.

The presently untitled next Star Trek film is scheduled to release in December 2023.
