Star Trek Movie XI Coming in 2008

The next Star Trek movie is under development, reports Robert Hyde from ComicCon.

As more and more revelations come out of this years Comic-Con here’s some news that we all wanted to know was true as the rumours have been flying around for ages, Star Trek XI will be with us in 2008 and here’s the poster to prove it.

JJ Abrams who has had a hit this year with the Tom Cruise vehicle Mission:Impossible III is on board as producer and writer, although it’s not been revealed yet if he will direct or allow someone else that honour. Recent internet rumblings have suggested that he will write a story that goes back to Kirk and Spocks academy days, but these have been denied in the past.

Whatever happens is good to see that Paramount have handed the series over to some capable hands, and that they are not going to rush release a film to the market next year, a 2008 release date means that a lot of thought can go into the production and hopefully bring the flagging series back to a place where it sat in the 80’s and 90’s.

It sounds promising.
