:0:0

Star Trek: Picard icon Jonathan Frakes sheds light on why Paramount+ isn't making its own Star Trek movies. Along with portraying Captain William T. Riker in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Picard season 3, Frakes is also one of the most celebrated Star Trek directors. Frakes' hits include Star Trek: First Contact and numerous episodes of Trek TV series, including Star Trek: Discovery, Picard, and the upcoming comedy crossover episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and Star Trek: Lower Decks.
In an interview with Mick Joest at CinemaBlend, Jonathan Frakes lends his insight as to why Paramount+ isn't making its own Star Trek movies, given how Paramount Pictures has been unable to get the long-delayed Star Trek 4 produced by J.J. Abrams into theaters. Read Frakes' quote below:

My understanding is that Paramount+ has the television franchise and Paramount has the movie franchise. I could be wrong, but that’s what I gather is the separation between the movie and television divisions.
