Star Trek Movie Sets Production Date, Finally Happening

Michelle Yeoh originally described Star Trek: Section 31 as “Mission: Impossible meets Guardians of the Galaxy.” It’s unknown if this is still an accurate description of Section 31, however, thanks to a shift in the creative team when the project made the leap from series to movie. The official synopsis for the movie mentions Emperor Philippa Georgiou joining a clandestine Starfleet division while her past comes back to haunt her—not exactly a great indicator of what the series’ tone will be.

Craig Sweeny wrote the screenplay for Star Trek: Section 31, with Olatunde Osunsanmi taking the role of director. Sweeny, Osunsanmi, Yeoh, Alex Kurtzman, Aaron Baiers, Frank Siracusa, John Weber, Rod Roddenberry, and Trevor Roth all serve as executive producers on the film.
