BREAKING NEWS: J.J. Abrams to Produce/Direct "Trek XI"
J.J. Abrams, producer of hit shows Lost and Alias, as well as director
of
the upcoming Paramount film "Mission: Impossible III," is slated to
produce
and direct the next Star Trek feature, according to today's Daily
Variety
and sources at Paramount Pictures. There is no title as yet for the new
movie, but it will be the eleventh in the franchise. (Until a title is
selected, we will usually refer to the project as simply "Star Trek
XI.")
Although there isn't an official Paramount press release announcing the
movie, it is a confirmed project under development with a 2008 release
date
targeted. Word about the Abrams project surfaced this morning in the
daily
trade paper. He will be writing the script with Alex Kurtzman and
Roberto
Orci, who penned "M:I:III." STARTREK.COM will keep you up to date on
all
official statements as they are released.
The proposed story will focus on the early days of James T. Kirk and
Spock,
including their first meeting at Starfleet Academy and their first
mission
in space.
Abrams' producing partners from Lost, Damon Lindelof and Bryan Burk,
are
cited as being producers on "Trek XI." This project is separate from
the
previously rumored script developed by Eric Jendresen and overseen by
Rick
Berman. The former Star Trek producer is not involved in this project.
This announcement is exciting news, and we look forward to following
developments on this project every step of the way!

Abrams was connected with Superman Returns in one of its numerous
iteration, particularly the one wherein Jon Peters wanted a giant spider in
the final showdown with Luthor. Guess where that piece of shit concept
ended up? In Jon Peter's piece of shit Wild, Wild West movie.
Abrams was a smart guy to get as far away from Peters as fucking fast as he
could.
The Starfleet Academy flick, from yellowdog copies I've seen, was a very
strong entry, provided you can get past the principal actors can't get it
up anymore due to age, dirtnaps, and health issues that kick us baby
boomers around these days. Not only was it good Star Trek, but with name
changes, it would have made a good movie, period!
