Hopefully, this means an end to the "Kelvin timeline". If we ever get another Star Trek movie that is the real thing, somebody needs to go back and kill that whole timeline so it never existed. Perhaps bring in Q, or use the Guardian of Forever.

Excerpt:
Last April, shortly after Paramount CEO Jim Gianopulos announced that not just one but two Star Trek projects were in development, J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot tapped director S.J. Clarkson to helm the follow-up to the 2016 film Star Trek Beyond. In the late spring and early summer of 2018, she met with cast members and there was talk that the film would go into production early in 2019. However, in August, the project stalled over salary negotiations with Captain Kirk actor Chris Pine and Chris Hemsworth, who was set to return to the role of George Kirk.
Since that August report, there has been no news on any progress on Star Trek 4. And now comes an indication that Paramount has put the project on hold, at least for now. Today an article from Deadline about S.J. Clarkson’s future, notes that she has been hired to direct and executive produce the pilot for HBO’s upcoming Game of Thrones prequel series, with the Trek project now “shelved.”
Hopefully, this means an end to the "Kelvin timeline". If we ever get another Star Trek movie that is the real thing, somebody needs to go back and kill that whole timeline so it never existed. Perhaps bring in Q, or use the Guardian of Forever.
