A batch of Paramount Pictures‘ highly anticipated movies got some big updates following the Skydance-Paramount merger closing.
What are the new updates for Top Gun 3, Transformers, and Star Trek?
As part of a new report from Deadline on the merger and what Paramount’s movie priorities are moving forward, several big-name franchises got updates. Firstly, the world of Star Trek, which Deadline reports is a “high priority” for Skydance and Paramount. The report mentions that two films are in development, one of which has Andor director Toby Haynes attached, while the other is said to feature Captain Kirk, Spock, and other characters returning, with J.J. Abrams producing both.
As for the world of Top Gun, co-chair of the newly merged Skydance and Paramount Dana Goldberg (who previously served as Paramount’s Vice Chair of Platforms and Chair of Paramount Television) said that Top Gun remains “a priority.” Although it hasn’t been officially announced, a third film is said to be in development, and Deadline’s report hinted that it could be the next project Tom Cruise joins.
Finally, in the world of Transformers, Paramount seems very invested in the iconic franchise. Deadline’s report mentions that, prior to the merger, three separate Transformers projects were in development. This included one that would bring Michael Bay back to the franchise, and Deadline noted that the three projects are nearly ready to be looked at by Paramount’s new leadership.
Earlier this year, a report from Puck revealed that Bay was ready to make his return to the world of Transformers. Bay reportedly pitched a new movie to Paramount and intends to return as a “hands-on producer,” although no official information on the movie is known as of now.
