Star Trek Beyond is the announced sequel to the 2013 film Star Trek Into Darkness to be released on 8 July 2016. [1]

On 21 April 2015, TrekMovie.com announced that Star Trek Beyond "may be the title" of the film. [2] The title was later confirmed by director Justin Lin. [3]

Story

Lin said that with the characters on the five-year mission, "It's all new and fresh. The Klingons, Romulans and other species are great, but it's time to go further. It has been fun to focus on creating whole new worlds and species." [4] Idris Elba is in talks to play the villain. [5]

J.J. Abrams has stated he would like more female characters in the sequel. [6] He also mentioned the sequel could fall back on abandoned story ideas for the characters. "There was [an idea] implying the sexuality of one of the characters, a back story for another character that was pretty intense, a really funny story we wanted to do with yet another. Hopefully, if there are future films, those other stories will get their moment," he said. [7] Orci has voiced support for having a gay character. [8]

William Shatner has been contacted about a possible role in the film. Along with Shatner, Leonard Nimoy had been rumored to appear, in a scene with Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto, as the future alternate reality versions of the characters. [9] In the wake of Nimoy's death on 27 February 2015, Simon Pegg mentioned there will have some tribute to him in the final film. [10] On May 27, 2015, Pegg mentioned that it was possible that Shatner could portray Kirk again at some point. [11]

Zoë Saldana stated she would dislike it if Spock and Uhura broke up. [12] Bruce Greenwood has expressed hope that Christopher Pike could return in a flashback scene. [13]

On 2 February 2015, the on-line movie and television news site FilmDivider.com reported that for the new Star Trek film, three new major female characters will be cast. One of them will be the United Federation of Planets president, one will be a starship captain, and the third will be one of the ex-wives of Doctor McCoy. The male villain will be a Bryan Cranston-like type and the website also stated that Cranston was in talks with the studio. [14]

Development

Under Roberto Orci

Producer Bryan Burk commented that Paramount wants the third film to take less time to produce than Into Darkness, and that 2016 – the 50th anniversary of Star Trek – would be a logical year to release it. [15] Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman have added that Paramount is insisting on a 2016 release date. [16]

J.J. Abrams, who directed Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness, chose to direct Star Wars Episode VII, so he will only produce the film. [17] Abrams noted "that having directed pilots and movies and then having seen subsequent directors work on those shows or do their own versions of those films – time and again I have seen it done better." [18] McKay stated "Bad Robot, J.J., and his team are really at the heart of this movie's development. They are the guiding light by which we all do our work. J.J.'s been a key part of helping us spin this tale from the beginning, and if there are people who think that we've lost him to Star Wars this time around, that’s not the truth as far as we see it." [19]

In September 2013, Abrams acknowledged rumors that Rupert Wyatt could helm the sequel, stating "He's incredibly talented, and we'd be lucky to have someone as talented as Rupert. But there are things we're focusing on right now before the director, which is just sort of the fundamentals of where the story is gonna go." [20]

On 2 November 2013, it was reported that Attack the Block director Joe Cornish was Paramount's choice to direct the film, though reports differed as to whether or not he had already begun negotiations to join the project. According to Variety, Cornish was offered the film once before in May 2013 but had turned it down. [21] [22] [23] Abrams voiced his support for Cornish, stating "I don't know if [he] is the guy. My guess is that's up in the air. I adore him and love him and can't wait to see what he does next. Hopefully it will be 'Star Trek'." [24]

On 6 December 2013, it was announced that up-and-coming screenwriters J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay will be writing the script alongside Bob Orci. It was also announced that Alex Kurtzman would not be involved with the project due to work on the Amazing Spider-Man movies and other projects. [25]

In April 2014, it was revealed Orci had been lobbying to direct the film, but Paramount was reluctant to allow him, as he had never directed before. Bad Robot and Skydance Productions were supportive however, [26] and a month later, Paramount relented, offering Orci the director's chair. [27] Orci said in July 2014 that he was not technically directing the film until Paramount approved the script, [28] and officially stepped down from directing the film on 5 December 2014. [29]

On 9 August 2014, Orci revealed that he had finished a first draft of the script. [30] On 27 August 2014, Orci revealed that the casting process for other characters had begun. [31]

J.D. Payne explained they were trying to come up with a classic Star Trek storyline, where "You should respond to this opportunity that the crew has that also has some pitfalls to it [....] It's sort of the Adam and Eve thing, where should we eat the fruit or not eat the fruit? Well, there are some very compelling reasons why they should and why they shouldn't. So, similar kinds of things here that really give the whole movie an opportunity to sort of play with that, and have people come down on different sides and wrestle with it." [32]

Around the release of Into Darkness, Damon Lindelof hinted that the prospect the Klingons would declare war on the Federation would come to fruition, and that Benedict Cumberbatch would return as Khan Noonien Singh. [33] However, Lindelof is not involved with the sequel.

Patrick McKay implied the film may not have a villain, explaining that while he loved Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, he loved the other films "that have a little bit more of the character relationships and the humor and some more of the speculative sci-fi elements" too. [34]

On 18 September 2014, Zachary Quinto stated that he expected the film to start shooting within the next six months. [35] On 19 September 2014, it was confirmed that shooting will begin in February of 2015, with a summer of 2016 release date. An official announcement will be made soon with a specific release date. [36]

As the domestic gross of Into Darkness, which stood at US$228.5 million, was less than the first film, Paramount has made the decision to film the sequel outside Los Angeles to save money. "We're making it for what it should have been shot for last time if we had made it outside of L.A., which we would have done except that [J.J. Abrams] didn't want to," a studio source told The Hollywood Reporter. "That was a $20 million issue." [37]

On 29 September 2014 Mayor Park Wonsoon confirmed that he met with the producers including Jeffrey Chernov and confirmed Seoul in South Korea as one of the filming locations for Star Trek Beyond. [38] According to TrekMovie.com, the film will be shot primarily in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada which will also be used for outside filming locations. [39]

The working title for this sequel is "Washington" / "Washington Project". [40] [41] [42]

Michael Giacchino was open to return to score the film and his return was later confirmed. [43] [44]

Under Justin Lin

On 22 December 2014, it was announced that Justin Lin had been hired to direct the film. [45] On 26 December 2014, it was announced that Orci will only produce the film and will no longer be involved in the writing process. [46] Lin, a childhood fan of the Original Series, was called by Abrams while filming the second season of True Detective. [47]

On 21 January 2015, it was announced that principal filming will start on 15 April 2015 at Vancouver Film Studios in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. [48] It was also announced that Simon Pegg and Doug Jung would help write the film. [49] Jung came to stay at Pegg's house to co-write the script; whenever they felt they completed enough of the rewrite, they would pass time by watching episodes of the original show. [50]

Pegg commented Paramount felt Orci's script was "a little bit too Star Trek-y. Avengers Assemble [the release title of The Avengers in the United Kingdom], which is a pretty nerdy, comic-book, supposedly niche thing, made $1.5 billion. Star Trek Into Darkness made half a billion, which is still brilliant. But it means that, according to the studio, there's still $1bn worth of box office that don't go and see Star Trek. And they want to know why." Pegg described the rewrite as being akin to "mak[ing] a Western or a thriller or a heist movie, then populate that with Star Trek characters so it's more inclusive to an audience that might be a little bit reticent". [51]

On 24 February 2015, it was reported that filming was pushed back to begin on 1 June 2015 and continue on until September. [52]

With the release of the official casting call it was confirmed that shooting in Vancouver, BC will be starting on 15 June 2015 and continuing through 15 October 2015. To be considered being an actor, extra, or crew member on the new film a legal eligibility for working in Vancouver is a requirement. Extras casting will get underway in May 2015. [53]

In March 2015, Stephen F. Windon was confirmed as the film's cinematographer, replacing Orci's choice of Claudio Miranda. [54] It was also confirmed that Nick Satriano replaces the previously-announced First Assistant Director Kim H. Winther. [55]

On 2 June 2015, it was reported that the first draft of the script had been finished. [56]

Deep Roy was later confirmed to be returning as Keenser, due to having cancelled a convention appearance for filming. [57]

Filming

It was reported that filming was pushed back again and will start on 25 June 2015. [58]

Between 25 and 26 June and 29 and 30 June 2015, the production is filming scenes in Squamish Boulders, Squamish, British Columbia. Filming is taking place around the Kacodemon Boulder and Cave Boulder for the first three shooting days. On the fourth day filming takes place south of the Black Dyke Boulder. [59] The filming schedule was updated on 26 June 2015 and the first set photos as well as the 16 pages of the filming permit contract went online. [60] [61]

On 26 June 2015, Executive Producer David Ellison revealed Dubai as a filming location. [62] [63] Three days later, director Justin Lin revealed that the title was officially Star Trek Beyond, as well as releasing the first set photo. [64]

Marketing

On July 14, 2015, the cast announced "To Boldly Go", a charity campaign to benefit nine different children's charities.
