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.

IGN posted a video interview with actor Matt Damon in which he denies the rumor that he was in talks to be cast as the new James T. Kirk in the upcoming Star Trek XI movie.
Damon says that he talked to producer/director J.J. Abrams about the ‘internet rumor' and reveals how Abrams told him they are looking for a ‘much younger,' Kirk and that the film is ‘the early years' of Kirk. Damon thinks they are looking for an actor closer to 20.
Here is a quick transcript of the video, cortesy of Trek Movie Report
IGN: have you been approached to play Captain Kirk?
Damon: No, that was an internet rumor. In fact I saw William Shatner commented on it which I thought was great. He said "I think he would make a good Captain Kirk" which I thought was really cool. But now, in fact I know that JJ is directing it and I talked to JJ and said "what is the deal" and he's like "no, the Kirk in my movie is much younger, it's like the early years." So I think he is hiring probably like a 20 year old actor or something. So no it's just an internet rumor.
IGN: oh, it would have been awesome...
Damon: oh thanks, maybe if they do the progression then I can play him
