J.J. Abrams (Lost) to direct new Star Trek flick...

Huge news! J.J. Abrams, writer/director/creator of the hit show Lost has been named to direct the next Star Trek movie which will feature a young versions of James T. Kirk and Spock at Starfleet Academy.
J.J. Abrams is becoming the next Gene Roddenberry.
Paramount is breathing life into its "Star Trek" franchise by setting "Mission: Impossible III" helmer J.J. Abrams to produce and direct the 11th "Trek" feature, aiming for a 2008 release.

Damon Lindelof and Bryan Burk, Abrams' producing team from "Lost," also will produce the yet-to-be-titled feature.

Project, to be penned by Abrams and "MI3" scribes Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, will center on the early days of seminal "Trek" characters James T. Kirk and Mr. Spock, including their first meeting at Starfleet Academy and first outer space mission.

I like it! Now the big question, who will they get to fill these very big shoes of Kirk and Spock. Should be damn interesting!

Each time the President leads a big push for his health care plan, his job approval ratings suffer. For Members of Congress, the impact may be more tangible.
