Not trying to stir the pot here or make any outrageous claims. I just thought this was interesting.

Thank you foreign markets!

Attention impatient sequelphiles: Vulture can confirm that J.J. Abrams has finally committed to shooting Star Trek 2. Insiders familiar with the director’s plans tell Vulture that pre-production is underway, that the script will be done by month’s end and that Abrams will start shooting this winter.

Sequelphiles? Do those exist?

1. Ortega choreographed the original. 

2. That is clear indication that it’s too soon to do a remake.

I’d say the odds are in our favor.

Which means it won’t be making its June 29th, 2012 release date Paramount was keeping for it.

Ron Howard is in early discussions to direct “Rush,” the Formula 1 biopic written by “Frost/Nixon” scribe Peter Morgan.
