Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness composer Michael Giacchino revealed in a new interview with Collider that he’s not yet been approached to talk about the plan for scoring Star Trek Beyond.

COLLIDER: With the work that you’ve done on ‘Star Trek’, has Justin Lin talked to you about returning to score ‘Star Trek 3’?

GIACCHINO: I haven’t really talked to them yet about it because they’re in such a crazy schedule crunch, and I personally wanted to just get through all of this before looking at anything next. I need a break. But I imagine that I will be talking to them soon about all of this, and we’ll figure out what’s going to happen next.

From what I understand, from everyone at Bad Robot, everyone loves Justin. He’s a super sweet guy. So, we’ll see what happens there. Honestly, I was just like, “I can’t even think beyond next week, let alone next year.” I just wanted to clear all of this stuff out, and then think about what’s next.

COLLIDER: So, you don’t know what you’re doing next, as far as the next score?

GIACCHINO: Nope. It’s been an incredibly busy year, with also ‘Jupiter Ascending’ on top of that. You get to a point where you just have to stop.

I was never one of those people that would just take jobs that were thrown at me. I can only work on things where A) I know and like the people, or B) find some very inspirational aspect to it that would make me want to work on it.

I don’t really do this ‘cause it’s a job. I do it ‘cause I really like to do it. I want to make sure that the things I do choose are things that I am invested in and that I care about.

The Oscar and Emmy Award-winning composer, perhaps best known for his television scores to Alias, Lost, and Fringe — all Bad Robot productions — along with Pixar’s UpRatatouille, and this summer’s Jurassic World and Inside Out.

Giacchino is clearly a busy guy, and his score to the two previous Trek films have probably been the least-criticized component of the franchise reboot. Here’s hoping there will be some plans on paper for Star Trek Beyond next year — because we’re running out of room in the calendar to support the film’s hurried production schedule.
