Paramount Plus may be losing some Star Trek projects, but one of them is still a go. The Michelle Yeoh Star Trek: Section 31 movie is still a go. Paramount's Star Trek overseer Alex Kurtzman discussed the project at the New York Comic Con Star Trek panel on Saturday, giving a status update on it.
Yeoh was, in fact, given the option to exit the project after her turn in Everything Everywhere All At Once netted her a truckload of awards earlier this year, including the Oscar for Best Actress. However, Yeoh insisted that the project continue - and Kurtzman says she is behind it "with all her power." Section 31 was originally announced as a series, but was later reconfigured as a Paramount+ exclusive movie. It is currently back in the writing process.
What is Section 31? Introduced in the latter seasons of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Section 31 is a shadowy organization within the Federation that employs highly unethical tactics to ensure galactic peace. Those tactics conflict with the Federation's progressive policies, as a deliberate subversion of Gene Roddenberry's utopian view of the future. The organization was primarily represented in Deep Space Nine by Luther Sloan , who was killed off in the show's final season.
The organization has recurred in a number of subsequent Trek series and movies, including Enterprise , Star Trek: Into Darkness , and even Star Trek: Lower Decks, in which Brad Boimler's ambitious transporter duplicate William Boimler becomes a member.
