A new ‘Star Trek’ movie is in the works at Paramount Pictures and for the first time ever, a woman could well be writing in the form of ‘Fear The Walking Dead’ scribe and co-executive producer Kalinda Vazquez.
JJ Abrams Bad Robot will be producing if the final script gets the green light to go-ahead.

She has also written an episode of ‘Star Trek: Short Treks’ in 2019 and in 2020, wrote the teleplay for “Terra Firma, Part 2,” an episode of “Star Trek: Discovery” which is set almost entirely in the Mirror Universe, in which the benevolent Federation is instead the bloodthirsty Terran Empire.
