There have been some carefully worded, vague insinuations of late regarding whether J.J. Abrams would actually direct the forthcoming STAR TREK sequel movie. J.J. spoke to ComingSoon about what, exactly, that's all about. Sounds like he's "in" (which we all kinda figured), but is waiting for a script before a 100% commit.
The truth is, the idea of anyone else directing the next "Star Trek" film breaks my heart. 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 existance if I should direct the movie. I look forward to making that decision when the time comes.
...says J.J. in THIS PIECE at Coming Soon.
In the same article, Abrams confirms that he is in talks about a potential MICRONAUTS movie (revealed HERE). He declines to say a single thing about the proposed project (discussions are stil underway), except that...
...there is a pretty cool idea for something
Maybe the Enterprise crew will take on Micronauts in the next film? [[crickets]]
I'm not being serious.
Abrams' TREK movie hits DVD & Blu-Ray today across the U.S. today. It's in stores, or can be found HERE
