From syfyportal, "Director J.J. Abrams is excited about helming the next Star Trek movie. At the recent Cinequest Film Festival, Abrams said he made up his mind to direct it when he saw what a "wild adventure" the final script was."I can say that when the script came in, it was so well written, it was so emotional, it was fun, and big and I found myself unable to not direct it," Abrams said, according to Fest21.com. "I couldn't give it up. I think it's going to be great. If in my gut I felt there was nothing else to offer, I wouldn't do it. It's not a business decision. I would rather take no money and do something inspiring. I hope it ends up being both a really cool, original, emotional ride and comes from something that we're familiar with."
The new movie, reported to be a re-imagining of the original series, is likely to be the most expensive, action-packed Trek film to date, according to script writers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci.
"I'd feel like an idiot if I let someone else [direct] it," Abrams said in a recent interview on Wired.com, where he also states that the script is "clearly a fun, emotional and wild adventure. I can't believe that they're letting us do this."
The next Trek film is scheduled for release Dec. 25, 2008."

Cool pic! I love that episode.
I read a comic book recently (New Universal, a new title) in which an Arkansas hick is visited by people from alternate Earths. When he gets where they're from he goes "Spock with a beard!"
