J.J. Abrams IS Directing Trek XI

After a lot of online nerd speculation it was officially announed that the creator of "Lost" and "Alias" will be directing the next Star Trek movie. For months now there's been miscommunication (on my part as well) whether or not he'd direct. He's been set to produce the film, but for a long time people weren't sure whether or not he was directing. Well, it's official. He is. So Trek fans that like the guy can relax and rejoice and others that don't can keep their heads in their asses.
Abrams will be working on casting in the following weeks, so I'm sure we can expect confirmation on that soon enough. I hope he can revive this franchise.
The movie is a prequel to the original series about Kirk and Spock during the academy days.
