Schedule permitting, Abrams, who also serves as executive producer and co-writer for the pilot, will make "Undercovers" the first TV pilot he has directed since 2004's "Lost" two-part opener, which is considered one of the best-directed pilots of all time and helped launch Abrams' career into helming such theatrical films as "Mission: Impossible 3" and "Star Trek." The NBC pilot has been described as a mix between "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" and "The Bourne Identity." The original report is at the Hollywood Reporter.

STAR TREK actor Walter Koenig will reprise his role as 'Pavel Chekov' in the upcoming fourth episode the online series, STAR TREK NEW VOYAGES, a fan-made continuation of Captain Kirk's initial five year mission. The episode, titled "New Voyages Episode 404", will be written by TOS writer D.C. Fontana.
"I had pretty well determined that STAR TREK and 'Chekov' were part of my past. I mean, who wouldn't, it's been nearly forty years since my first "Warp factor four, Keptin". said Koenig "But then the folks from NEW VOYAGES approached and we started kicking around ideas for a 'Chekov' story. It occurred to me that what we were coming up with was what every actor dreams of: a second chance to get it right. An opportunity not only to resurrect a role, but to make of that character a living breathing profoundly human - being. It is almost beyond comprehension that this is happening so late in my life! Talk about belated reward, talk about closure, talk about science fiction! I didn't believe I could ever again be this excited about performing a part. I guess it isn't so trite after all: perhaps, all good things do come to those who wait."
NEW VOYAGES appeared on the internet in January 17th 2004 with a second installment being released October 8th 2004. With over 16 million downloads to date, NEW VOYAGES continues the missions of the original Enterprise with new actors playing the legendary characters of Captain Kirk, Mister Spock and Doctor McCoy. NEW VOYAGES was created and is Produced by James Cawley and Jack Marshall with Producer Max Rem, Visual Effects creator, and Consulting Producer, Eugene Roddenberry, Jr, son of the late Star Trek Creator, Gene Roddenberry.
