It's Official: J.J. Abrams to Direct New Star Trek
Though news of the project first broke back in April 2006, J.J. Abrams only this past Friday officially signed on to take the com as director of a new Star Trek feature film, sources tell the Hollywood Reporter. The man who gave us M:i:III (oh, and Lost), Abrams has been developing Star Trek XI — which reportedly concerns Kirk and Spock's early years at Starfleet Academy, and which I have to believe is very tentatively titled — for months, as a producer and writer.
