MOVIES: Surprise! JJ Abrams is directing Star Trek 2!

Because, you know, after Star Trek was so widely accepted both by Trekkies and non Trekkies alike, JJ Abrams openly declared his deep love for sci-fi, and the first movie established a set of characters we were all invested in and wanted to see more of, we weren't sure if Abrams would be down for a second one. Well worry no longer Trek fans, EW is reporting that JJ will indeed be returning as the helmsman for Star Trek 2. No word on when we can expect to see the film since Abrams and co. are spending time working on the script to make sure it's up to scratch. I shall wait patiently and have extremely high expectations when the sequel does find its way to theaters.
