J.J. Abrams to Produce “Trek XI”
Saturday, May 20th, 2006
According to the official Star Trek website the producer of Alias and Lost will produce the new Star Trek film. And it will most lightly will not star the ‘Next Generation’ cast. Nobody seems to know what it will be about, but of course there is plenty of rumors flying about the internet. In an interview the now famed producer said:
“The whole thing was reported entirely without our cooperation,” Abrams is quoted by Empire Online yesterday. “People learned that I was producing a Star Trek film, that I had an option to direct it, they hear rumors of what the thing was going to be and ran with a story that is not entirely accurate.”
In addition to clarifying that he may or may not direct the film, Abrams also distanced himself from Variety’s report that the plot of “Star Trek XI” would revolve around a young James T. Kirk and Spock at Starfleet Academy. “We’ve made a pact not to discuss any specifics,” he said.
