The lack of communication behind the scenes is wearing on Pine
Chris Pine spoke to Esquire in March 2022, and during the chat, he touched on the remarkably slow production pace on "Star Trek 4." By the sound of it, he's getting irritated that it's taking so long to hear anything about it, especially by "Star Trek" franchise standards. "I don't know anything. In 'Star Trek' land, the actors are usually the last people to find out anything," he said, questioning how someone in his position — one of the series' leads — could consistently be left out of the loop.
He continues: "I would say it's frustrating. It doesn't really foster the greatest sense of partnership, but it's how it's always been." Despite this lack of communication, Pine noted that he still harbors a great deal of love for the role of Captain Kirk, the people behind the films, and the Kelvin movies themselves. Be that as it may, he's past the point of going out of his way to try and keep the ball rolling. "To try to change the system in which things are created — I just can't do it. I don't have the energy," he concluded.
As it stands, "Star Trek 4" is supposedly still in active development, but one has to wonder what will come of it. Will it release to keep the story of "Star Trek Beyond" and its predecessors alive? Or will it languish in development limbo until it's eventually canned? Time will tell.
