Abrams to produce latest Star Trek
Sunday Apr 23 06:13 AEST
AP - Mission: Impossible III director JJ Abrams is going from Cruise control to warp speed.
After directing Tom Cruise in M:I3, Abrams has committed to produce the 11th Star Trek feature film and there are plans for him to direct as well, Paramount Pictures announced.
Abrams also will write the script with his M:I3 co-writers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, Paramount spokeswoman Nancy Kirkpatrick said.
The studio is hoping to release the film in 2008.
No plot for the movie has been nailed down and no one has been cast for the film.
The Star Trek franchise covers several centuries of a future in which humans make their way in a universe populated by a bewildering variety of aliens, from the ultra-logical Vulcans to the merciless, hive-like Borg.
The starship Enterprise in various incarnations was the focus of the original series and many of the movies. Two Star Trek series followed the exploits aboard a space station called Deep Space Nine and a marooned spaceship, Voyager.
Abrams created the hit ABC series Lost and Paramount hopes that "Lost" producers Damon Lindelof and Bryan Burk will produce the movie, Kirkpatrick said.
William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy portrayed Kirk and Spock in the original Star Trek TV show in the 1960s and in numerous movies but "they have not yet been approached," Kirkpatrick said.
Shatner, 75, currently stars in the hit series Boston Legal and won an Emmy for his role as an egotistical attorney.
