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.

AICN posted a report from the German Toy Fair which took place this weekend, and their report gives specific costume and design details from the upcoming Star Trek prequel movie based on the Playmates prototype toys available at the event. Here are few excerpts from the article.
"The action figures were not the final versions, but you could hardly tell that they weren't from the original tv-series but from the new movie. Kirk wore his famous yellow uniform (and black trousers), Spock his blue one (a little bit darker though) and Scotty the red one. The Leonard Nimoy Spock had a white monk-like robe, that looked like a variation on the one he wore in The Search for Spock."
"Highlight was Zoe Zaldana as the new Uhura. She wore the same red communication uniform, but this time the skirt was much shorter and there was much more emphasis on her breasts."
"The phasers and communicators were almost the same as in TOS. Even the sounds were identical."
"And then... the new Enterprise. As a toy it had a great
TOS feel to it. It's a little more ‘organic' than the original one and I think the two warp engines and the ‘bite' taken from the central body are a little bit bigger."
"Also shown was another spaceship. It resembled an octopus and could have appeared in one of the Matrix sequels. I don't think it was Romulan."
