JJ Abrams confirms he will direct next Trek film

It’s been pretty officially reported now that JJ Abrams will indeed be back to direct the next “Star Trek” film.  This will be a followup to his hit Trek film from 2009, and feature the same main cast and probably many of the same behind the scenes folks too.  The script is still being finished but it should be done soon and filming is expected to start this coming winter.  No exact new release date has been set yet, but it’s expected to be sometime either in late 2012 or possibly the summer of 2013.  We will keep an eye on this and keep everyone here posted as things start to heat up and get exciting for the next film in this rebooted franchise.  Greatly looking forward to seeing what they come up with next!
