Simon Pegg, don’t give me false hope that I’ll see my Kelvin Verse ‘Star Trek’ crew again
It has been nearly 10 years since I’ve seen my beloved crew of the Enterprise. I am, of course, referring to the Kelvin Verse movies. Led by Chris Pine’s Captain Kirk, those are my favorite films in the entire Star Trek franchise but I thought they were dead.
Star Trek 4 was supposed to happen eons ago but with ever changing directors, stars fighting for better wages, and more, the film has been dead in the water for quite a while. Now, Simon Pegg, who co-wrote Star Trek Beyond and starred as Scotty in the series, is giving me hope that I can see my favorite bridge once more. And to that I say: Don’t give me hope, Simon.
Pegg was at the STLV: Trek to Vegas panel when he addressed the future of the Kelvin Verse and pointed out that Paramount CEO is a big fan of the franchise and that he is someone who wants to see the series grow. For me, that’s all I need to be absolutely insufferable about the potential of seeing a fourth Star Trek movie with Pine, Pegg, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldaña, John Chu, Karl Urban, and more.
“Well, I know David Ellison is a big Star Trek fan. I know he cares about the series. So I would love it. I would be delighted if we could make another film,” Pegg said on the panel. “I love those guys. And despite how we had a tragedy in our group [the death of Anton Yelchin in 2016], which was extremely painful. It would be wonderful to come together again. J.J. [Abrams] has always said that there are scripts being developed and this and that. I think it’s about time. It would be great to see us 10 years after the five year mission, where we are.”
This is, frankly, all I wanted. If I could write it for free, I would! Just give me more of my Kelvin Verse team please!
