The good news:
"Paramount Pictures announced today that Lost creator J.J. Abrams will co-write, produce and direct the eleventh Star Trek film, set for release in 2008."
That fucking rocks.
The bad news:
According to an article in the Daily Variety, the new film will be a prequel to the original Star Trek series, featuring younger versions of characters like James T. Kirk and Spock. The movie will chronicle events such as their first meeting at Starfleet Academy and their first mission into outer space.
I. Fucking. Hate. Paramount. So. Much.

Well studios notice the higher ticket sales in origin movies over the original movies. Look at Batman and Star Wars. I suppose it could be done ok, but it is going to fuck up the Star Trek cannon time line just like Enterprise did.

wel given the light of how pathetic cinema has been lately, they'll probably have Heath ledger for Kirk and Jake Gyllenhaal as Spock.

Fark has a new article up saying that this is mostly bogus.

Turns out Abrams is only producing (at the moment) but he will neither confirm nor deny the prequel aspect of the plot.
I'd much rather him debunk the plot garbage than the directorship.
