A new pair of screenwriters are reportedly beaming aboard the tentatively titled Star Trek 3: Ashley Edward Miller and Zack Stentz.
Their credits include the films Thor and X-Men: First Class and the TV series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Fringe, and Andromeda. Fringe is produced by J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot, while Andromeda was based on material from Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry. The pair have also scripted Fox’s in-development reboot of The Fantastic Four.
According to Badass Digest, Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness scribes Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman are still involved in the sequel in a writing capacity and they “were instrumental in making the decision about going after Stentz and Miller. What (Orci & Kurtzman’s) day-to-day involvement moving forward will be I couldn’t say. Keep in mind this isn’t a done deal, so it’s possible that someone else could end up getting the gig. And there’s no guarantee they’re the final writers on the project. But as of right now it’s Stentz and Miller’s job to lose. And since Paramount wants this movie out in 2016 to mark the 50th anniversary of Star Trek, expect work to begin on it ASAP.”
