Word has it that a new ST movie is on the way for 2008<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The as-yet-untitled “Star Trek” feature, the 11th since 1979, is aiming for a fall 2008 release through Paramount Pictures, the Viacom Inc. unit looking to restore its box-office luster under new management, the trade paper said.<\/p>\n

The project will be directed by J.J. Abrams, whose
\nTom Cruise vehicle “Mission: Impossible III” will be released by Paramount on May 5. Abrams, famed for producing the TV shows “Alias” and “Lost,” will also help write and produce.<\/p>\n

Daily Variety said the action would center on the early days of “Star Trek” characters James T. Kirk and Mr. Spock, including their first meeting at Starfleet Academy and first outer-space mission.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It may be that, by breaking away from ties to a particular ongoing TV show (or cast thereof), they might be able to do a decent job. How they will go about recasting Kirk\/Spock (and how they’ll do so without drifting into Shatneresque self-parody) will be interesting to see.<\/p>\n
