Star Trek 2 - J.J. Abrams Commits to Directing

J.J. Abrams has officially committed to directing the sequel to the 2009 reboot of Star Trek. Vulture Magazine reports they will start shooting in the winter. We all eventually knew he would step back behind the camera for a sequel to his hugely popular Star Trek movie. But when his delay in committing outright caused Paramount to switch the sequel's planned release date of late June 2012 with that of the G.I. Joe 2 many began to get a little worried that he may not get to direct the movie.

The entire main cast of the first movie are set to return but we know very little about the plot. All we really do know for certain is that this will not be a remake or reboot of Wrath Of Khan as many fans thought it might be.

"Vulture can confirm that J.J. Abrams has finally committed to shooting Star Trek 2. Insiders familiar with the director's plans tell Vulture that pre-production is underway, that the script will be done by month's end and that Abrams will start shooting this winter."
