The next 'Star Trek' movie will be inspired by 'Crimson Tide', and 'Strange New Worlds' latest episode just showed them how to do it

The upcoming Star Trek movie will be inspired by Crimson Tide, according to writer/director Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley. The film will feature an all-new crew and be reminiscent of a tense submarine thriller where executives debate launching nuclear weapons, potentially leading to a global disaster. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds recently showcased this premise, with Captain Christopher Pike and first officer Una Number One Chin-Riley being marooned on an alien planet by Admiral Simon Reeger.

Kirk steps in to command the Enterprise as Kirk faces off against Reeger, paralleling the Crimson Tide theme where officers must confront their commander's orders and personal vendettas.
