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."

FirstShowing.net posted a new interview with director Kevin Smith (Clerks, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back), in which he talks more about the new Star Trek movie, since he was given an early screening of an early cut of J.J. Abrams movie, as reported before. Here are excerpts of the article.
Smith was asked to compare the new Trek movie with The Dark Knight and Watchmen and here is what he said "Watchmen and Star Trek are amazing too, but Dark Knight, I think, it's just an imminently watchable film [...]."
"But man, those other two, Watchmen and Star Trek, come close. I mean, I'm not a huge Trekkie, so I'm not like, oh man, you must see this before you die. But for what it is, in terms of a reboot, he did a fantastic job with it. Because it sounded like, when they announced it, 'why do you want to go back and do little Kirk and little Spock?' But man he did it and it made it viable and it doesn't get rid of anything that it had before, it kind of makes way for the continuity, so it all fits in that world still. It doesn't negate the series, the series of movies, anything, it's all part and parcel with it."
