The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Star Trek: Section 31 is to begin a ‘Phase 2’ for the franchise and for the Paramount + streaming service, heard by Alex Kurtzman, who would like to do a new Star Trek movie event every two years.
The THR report reads:
The next chapter of Alex Kurtzman’s Star Trekfranchise at Paramount+ is beginning to come into focus. On Tuesday, the Paramount Global-backed streamer announced that its long-gestating Section 31 series will indeed be a movie that brings newly minted Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh back on board with a feature film rather than what was originally intended to be a spinoff of Discovery, which reignited Star Trek for the conglomerate.
Sources say Kurtzman, whose Secret Hideout captains the Trek franchise under a nine-figure overall deal with producers CBS Studios, began making plans to convert Section 31 into a tentpole feature film for the platform last summer as insiders were nervous about oversaturating the iconic property. The idea to shift to tentpoles kicked in after Kurtzman, sources say, saw Everything Everywhere All at Once and realized the role would likely earn Yeoh an Oscar.
