J.J. Abrams Back on Star Trek XI? I’m Confused.

First he was off the project, and now he’s back on. Who can keep up with this guy? His career has more twists and turns than an episode of his show “Lost”. (Mind you, not that I’ve actually seen a whole episode of “Lost”, or know enough about it to make such a parallel, but since making the parallel makes me look all hip and cool, I’m gonna do it anyway. Hey, that’s just how I like to roll.) What was I saying? Oh right. It appears that J.J. Abrams is back onboard the “Star Trek” prequel or sequel or whatever it is they’re going to call it. Read on for the happy news, ya knuckleheads…

Via Sci Fi Wire:

Paramount is expected to announce formally that J.J. Abrams will direct Star Trek XI, aiming for a Christmas 2008 release date, with a script by Abrams’ Mission: Impossible III co-writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, a source close to the production told SCI FI Wire. A draft script has been completed and submitted to the studio.

Contrary to reports on the Internet, no decisions have been made on the film’s budget, casting or production start date; all are subject to a final script being approved by the studio, said the source, who spoke to SCI FI Wire on condition of anonymity.

Happy now, geeks?

Frankly, I’m still holding out hope for a Seven of Nine and T’Pol team-up…

Seven of Nine and T’Pol teams up for… “Seven of T’Pol!”
