According to Variety, Viacom CEO Philippe Dauman noted that Paramount is bringing
back "Star Trek" in 2008 or 2009. "We're revitalizing it in a
new and interesting way," he said.
J.J. Abrams, who recently inked a film deal with Par, is set to direct the
eleventh in the franchise for now titled "Star Trek XI."
Abrams will be writing the script with Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, who
penned "M:i:III." The story will focus on the early days of James
T. Kirk and Spock, including their first meeting at Starfleet Academy and their
first mission in space.
