Planned Star Trek 4 director S.J. Clarkson, who was tapped to help the next entry in the Kelvin Timeline film franchise back in April 2018, has moved to the worlds of Westeros as hopes for the movie continue to fade into the blackness of space.

After film leads Chris Pine and Chris Hemsworth walked away from Paramount Pictures’ offered salaries after rocky negotiations, the outlook for Star Trek 4 seemed to be fading fast — and today, Deadline reports that planned director S.J. Clarkson has been tapped to direct the pilot for HBO’s planned Game of Thrones prequel, noting that the Trek 4 project “has been shelved.”

Deadline’s Nellie Andreeva notes that Clarkson’s availability for the HBO project opened up after the Trek 4 project was suspended:

I hear Clarkson was recruited by HBO for GOT after she recently became available. Earlier this year, Clarkson was the first female director to be tapped to direct a Star Trek movie when she was hired to helm the fourth feature in the current series. That project has since been shelved.

The planned fourth Kelvin Timeline film, set to feature the return of Chris Hemsworth as George Kirk, was first announced back in mid-2016 before Star Trek Beyond hit theaters, and now seems to be dead in the water.

Also in the hopper is a possible Quentin Tarantino-lead Trek film project, but it’s been more than a year since any word on that project has surfaced; its status remains unknown.
