Abrams: Report "Not Entirely Accurate"

In his first comments to the press regarding his deal to produce an 11th
Star Trek film (related story), J.J. Abrams says the news that was
broken last week by Daily Variety was premature and somewhat erroneous.

"The whole thing was reported entirely without our cooperation," Abrams
is quoted by Empire Online yesterday. "People learned that I was
producing a Star Trek film, that I had an option to direct it, they hear
rumors of what the thing was going to be and ran with a story that is
not entirely accurate."

In addition to clarifying that he may or may not direct the film, Abrams
also distanced himself from Variety's report that the plot of "Star Trek
XI" would revolve around a young James T. Kirk and Spock at Starfleet
Academy.

"We've made a pact not to discuss any specifics," he said.

At the same time, though, he confessed to being a fan of the Original
Series and remarked, "Those characters are so spectacular. I just think
that... you know, they could live again."

they could live again besides watching the original actors in their
original roles on DVD? Or reading about them in the plethora of
companion novels (some written by Name authors - I still have James
Blish's "Spock Must Die" - the only trek novel I ever read)

Meh. Feh. Pleh.

Yawn.
