Exclusive: Jonathan Frakes explains his offer to J.J. Abrams to direct Star Trek 4 and the state of the movie long mired in development hell.
Jonathan Frakes explains his offer to J.J. Abrams to direct the problematic Star Trek 4. The fourth film in the Kelvin Timeline series of Star Trek movies was originally scheduled for release in 2023 but has since disappeared from Paramount's slate of upcoming releases. Many big names have been attached to the project such as Chris Hemsworth and Quentin Tarantino, but despite these huge industry figures, Star Trek 4 has failed to get off the ground.
In an exclusive Screen Rant interview to highlight the great work done by PanCAN, and Trek Against Pancreatic Cancer, the conversation turned to Jonathan Frakes' interest in directing Star Trek 4, although he isn't privy to the current state of the film. Read his quote below: SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT I don't know much about that... the guy who was due to direct it [Matt Shakman] has gone off to do Fantastic Four, I think... And I'm not sure if they have a script, or if they had a script or a budget... I'm not sure at what stage Star Trek 4 is [in]. I did write an email to JJ [Abrams] and said, "If you need an experienced old white guy, I'm available.
Like It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and WandaVision director Matt Shakman, Frakes also has a substantial list of TV directing credits, so he feels like a natural successor to the departing director. On top of Frakes' work on beloved network TV shows like Burn Notice and Castle, Frakes has also directed several sci-fi movies for theaters. The most notable of these are the two Star Trek movies he directed in 1996 and 1998, respectively.
Jonathan Frakes directed the very best Star Trek: The Next Generation movie, 1996's Star Trek: First Contact, which continues to influence the franchise to this day. Season 3 of Star Trek: Picard is a First Contact sequel and has Jonathan Frakes on board as both Captain William T. Riker and as a director of Picard season 3, episodes 3 and 4.
