Nov 06 | J.J. Abrams is in talks to direct the opening episode of "Undercovers," his Warner Bros. secret agent pilot at NBC. 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.

Cinematical just posted an exclusive report about the Paramount Pictures presentation today at the San Diego Comic-Con and here is the excerpts regarding the Star Trek XI (or simply "Star Trek") panel attended by producer/director J.J. Abrams, star Zachary Quinto and legendary Star Trek star Leonard Nimoy.
According to the report, Abrams and his team are desperately trying to find a way to put Star Trek star William Shatner as James T. Kirk in the movie. "We're desperately trying to figure out how to fit Shatner, and it needs to be worthy of him and the movie. So we're on that. And we're looking for a Kirk. Do you guys have any ideas for Kirks? Anyone?" asked Abrams, revealing that the new Kirk has yet to be cast. They start shooting in November.
They do have a casting confirmation ... Zachary Quinto is indeed the new Mr. Spock.
Asked how much of his performance will be influenced by Leonard Nimoy, Quinto told the audience "Well, as much as he'd like it to be, since he's working on the film, which is an honor."
And so there is the big news : Leonard Nimoy returns as an older Spock in the movie. "He's donning the ears one more time!" quips Abrams. Nimoy comes out on stage and says "People have been asking me why I'm doing this movie, and I think the answer is obvious, we have a great director, a wonderful script, and a wonderful young actor playing Spock, so ... it was logical."
Abrams says he'll be back next year at Comic-Con with a lot more Star Trek information.

Quote from Cinematical:
"They are desperately trying to find a way to put William Shatner in the movie..."
Abrams had said as much in earlier interviews. As Shatner himself noted, last year, his involvement only needs a plausible plot for elder Kirk.
Slashfilm has a clear audio recording of JJ Abrams, Zachary Quinto, and Leonard Nimoy at ComicCon.
Said Abrams: "The thing about casting Trek is, how do you possibly top and even match the cast that was in the original series? That's really where this movie takes place. William Shatner, you know, I've met him a number of times, and he's the greatest. We're desperately trying to figure out a way to put him in this movie. The truth is, it needs to be worthy of him; it needs to be worthy of you; it needs to be worthy of the movie. We can't just shove him in, it would be a disaster. You would hate it, he wouldn't like it, it would be bad. So, we're on that. And we're looking for a Kirk, because that's tough too."

A little disappointing that they haven't cast Kirk. But we have Spock. And the new poster. Can't wait for some details as to what the actual plot is.
