J.J. Abrams discusses sequel to 'Star Trek'

As fans will finally be treated to the much anticipated "Super 8" this week, director J.J. Abrams recently gave his fans another special piece of news. In a press junket for "Super 8," Abrams stated “The next thing we’re working on, and hopefully we’ll be able to pass information out sooner or later, is the next 'Star Trek.'”

This means that fans of Abrams' highly successful 2009 reboot will finally get to see the next installment of the series in the near future. However, the question still remains as to when it will finally hit screens. 

Although Paramount has the film set to be released on June 29, 2012, Abrams did not confirm the date. When asked about it, he stated "I care much more that it be good than it be ready. I’m obviously doing everything I can to make sure that schedules don’t get screwed up. But I don’t think anyone wants a movie on time that’s not worth your time.”
