    J.J. Abrams Officially Directing 'Star Trek 2'

    DateTue, September 13, 2011

    It's about time.

    Vulture reports that J.J. Abrams has finally committed to direct Star Trek 2.

    In what should come as no surprise to many (even though Abrams had been hesitant to say he was actually "in"), the sequel to 2009's reboot of the beloved sci-fi franchise is said to currently be in the pre-production stage, with the script to be completed by the end of this month and an eye to shoot this winter.

    If you may recall, Trek 2 was originally scheduled to be released next summer but was replaced by the new G.I. Joe film.  This was mainly due to delays in the film's development (Abrams busy with Super 8, writer Alex Kurtzman finishing his directorial debut, Welcome to People).  Yet, it seems all engines are finally ready to go on this one.

    Stay tuned as more news becomes available.
