Time To Get My Spock Ears Out Of Storage

For the last several months it's only been a rumor, but Lost creator J.J. Abrams has now officially signed on to direct the next Star Trek movie. The franchise's 11th feature film is scheduled to start shooting this fall and be ready for release on Christmas Day, 2008.

There is nothing official yet in the casting department, but there are plenty of rumors. Chief among them is that Matt Damon will be playing Captain Kirk, and Adrien Brody will take on the role of Spock.

There's also no official word on the storyline, but the word last fall was that the new film will tell the story of how Kirk and Spock first met in a strip club featuring olive skinned Orion slave girls.

Then again, maybe not. But you gotta admit my idea would make for a much more interesting movie.
