Abrams unsure about directing next 'Trek'
JJ Abrams has admitted that he hasn't yet signed on to direct the next Star Trek movie.
The filmmaker confessed that he would be heartbroken if another director took the helm of the sequel, but stated that he wouldn't commit to the project until he had seen a script that he liked.
"The truth is, the idea of anyone else directing the next Star Trek film breaks my heart," he told Coming Soon. "I had the most fun ever with these people. But, it's impossible to know when the script is done.
"That's the time to look at it and ask, 'Is this the right thing for the movie? Is it the right thing for me? My family?' and all that stuff. It's so hard to know a year out with no script in existence if I should direct the movie. I look forward to making that decision when the time comes."

First Comment: Abrams SHOULD be the only person to direct XII.
Second Comment: Leave Khan Out!!! Seriously, I cannot get my point through enough on this. Why run the risk of screwing up a classic, by doing it again? This is a new universe, there is no reason Kirk would ever need to run into Khan.
If we need villans, we have Klingon's and Romulan's, unless they're feeling really brave, in which case they could always go with another race, Cardassian's, Tholian's, whoever, but no Khan, and no Augments.sigpic

We've got big spoilers for Star Trek 2! (12?)
Director J.J. Abrams confirmed to us that the follow-up to his hit Star Trek won't hit theaters until 2012, speaking last night at a party at the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles to celebrate today's DVD/Blu-ray release. But that could change. And the creators gave us tantalizing hints about the sequel's timeframe and other story points.
Producer/writer Damon Lindelof Lindelof told us that he thinks it's impossible to be done sooner. "Yeah, I think that we would be hard pressed to get it on screens by 2011," Lindelof said. "If that's the case, we'd better get to writing right now."
But Abrams believes more time will benefit the creative process. "It's like closet space," Abrams said. "You use what you've got. The more time you have, the more time you have to use to hopefully make it a better movie."
For his part, co-writer Roberto Orci wouldn't talk about release dates. "Who knows? It could still be whenever," Orci said. "I haven't heard any firm dates. It could be sooner or later."

I really do hope all this Khan talk is just rumour. I'm sure the film would do well and all, but the main question is why can't they do something original? We've had Khan, we've been there, done that, bought the DVD (instead of the T-shirt). Why the heck should we go back and do it again, when there are so many other opportunities?sigpic
