Paramount has also explored several other avenues for “Trek” features, none of which seem to have ultimately borne fruit. Execs determined that there was still lasting audience enthusiasm for Pine, Quinto and the rest of the cast in their established roles, which allowed the studio to feel comfortable with moving forward with bringing them back.
