I was also asked to assist individuals in deciphering IP, including Star Trek, which originated from the Tarantino writers' room. Tarantino had the idea of creating a Star Trek room, and it turned out to be the most enjoyable room I have ever been a part of.
When we entered the room, Tarantino began by asking, "So, what ideas do you guys have for a movie?" I believe I was the first to speak. He patiently listened to our ideas, nodding along, and then he pulled out his notebook and shared his thoughts and passionate ideas through lines of dialogues that he had already written. It wasn't a fully-formed story yet; they were simply random thoughts he had about a movie. However, the passion and brilliance behind his ideas were undeniable. It made me chuckle to myself and think, "Why didn't we start with that?" There was a humorous moment when he suddenly paused in the middle of the room, turned to me, and said, "Lindsey, you're really good at this." Receiving such a compliment from someone whose career I deeply admire meant a great deal to me, of course.

According to Lindsey Anderson Beer in an interview with Collider, Star Trek 4 is still in progress. Beer, one of the retained writers for the movie, shared that after Quentin Tarantino's version was abandoned and director Matt Shakman left to helm Marvel Studios' Fantastic Four, they continued to work on Star Trek 4.

Both Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto, who portrays Mr. Spock, expressed their willingness to return to the Starship Enterprise if any "creative differences" can be resolved.
According to a recent article in Variety, Paramount Pictures has prioritized the next Star Trek movie, potentially considering a reboot for Star Trek 4 instead of continuing with the Chris Pine-led cast.
