News of the duo working on the R-rated project first emerged earlier this month. Details of the plot have remained under wraps.

Paramount has released 13 Star Trek movies since 1979’s Star Trek: The Motion Picture. The studio rebooted the franchise in 2009 with Abrams directing Star Trek and Star Trek: Into Darkness in 2013 before moving to 2015’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Justin Lin directed Star Trek Beyond in 2016.
