I've read like 3 different articles saying the same thing that their source is from someone within the production, so it seems real. My only concern is that Abrams denied it multiple times and said he's a big fan and much rather be part of the audience than behind the camera, so weird how he was convinced suddenly. But nonetheless I'm excited, I was never a Star Trek fan, but the newest one he made was absolutely wonderful! Thanks for posting! - sleepyhead

One article I read says his contract with paramount is up, maybe he was waiting for that? - foobeka 244.1 #1064 2:40PM
Hm, but Star Trek is under Paramount and reason he denied it in the first place cause of his "loyalty to Trek" ohy this frustrating not knowing everything! We need complete conformation from Disney and Abrams!! - sleepyhead 368.6 #378 3:02PM
I accept this gift. - tuesday737

People thought Abrams was going to destroy Star Trek. That one turned out quite alright. - Slotherini 886.9 #99 3:44PM
Being a mommy of a star war fan, I can tell that no matter what happens or who makes it, the younger generation won't care as much as we do. They love the whole thing about it, so anyone can do it, the younger generation will love it. - MarshaMouse
