Star Trek XI Director Revealed: J.J. Abrams!

December 7, 2006
by Alex Billington

Someone sound the geek alarm! When we were at Comic-Con the poster for Star Trek XI (this poster) got released, and boy was the talk about that movie and that poster coming out of every door. Now a director has finally been set, and none other than Mr. Mission Impossible 3 (and Lost / Alias) himself - J.J. Abrams. The news comes from a Variety story where Viacom CEO Philippe Dauman stated that Abrams would not only produce but also direct the next Star Trek. He also confirms that they are setting it for a 2008 or 2009 release - so chalk up another great one already being planned for that year. With as much as I enjoyed MI:3, I have a bit of faith in him in taking on this epic project. Well, epic being the 11th, but also just being as hyped as it is (Matt Damon as Captain Kirk?!).
