The Starship Enterprise finally has a new captain.
After months of speculation, "Mission: Impossible III" director J.J. Abrams has signed on to shoot the next installment of the "Star Trek" feature franchise, sources said late Friday.
"Star Trek XI" revolves around a young James T. Kirk and Mr. Spock, chronicling their first meeting at Starfleet Academy and their first space mission. The previous film in the series, the 2002 box office bomb, "Star Trek: Nemesis," was directed by Stuart Baird, and starred Patrick Stewart.
Abrams, the prolific co-creator/executive producer of "Lost" and director of last year's "M:I III," has been developing the project through his Paramount-based Bad Robot shingle as a producer and writer.
But Abrams did not commit to directing the project until Friday evening, when the deal was finalized, sources said.
. But, the other characters, new species on the Titan (some of them would -have- to be CGI-based) really add a lot to the Star Trek universe. 


Nemisis wasnt bad, the only thing that ruined it for me was the fact that those alien things were SO over the top. Other than that it was pretty cool.
Think I even saw First Contact too hehe. Forgetful in my old age.....
