It's official, Abrams to direct Trek XI!

From AICN, "Hey folks, Harry here... Hollywood Reporter finally confirms that J.J. Abrams is directing the new STAR TREK project at Paramount. Naaaaaaaaaw, really?
So wow... how amazing is that?
So there you have it. What's happening with DARK TOWERS? Ask Quint, he's talking with Stephen King later today. Let's see what the King has to say about Roland.

This is an incredibly exciting project - now let's see how angry we get over the casting of Kirk and Spock. How about Russell Crowe as Kirk and Daniel Day Lewis as Spock? Oh wait, they're probably going much younger than that. Hmmmm..."
