MTV posted an interview with Star Trek director J.J. Abrams and here are few excerpts.

MTV: "Star Trek," this little film that you've directed that's coming out next summer, where do you stand on it? Do you have a final cut, music in place?

Abrams: We've recorded most of the music, and we're about a week away from locking the movie.

MTV: Can you speak to the running time? Am I in for two and half hours of brilliant "Trek"?

Abrams: It will be a two-hour movie. I'm sick of these two-hours-and-forty-five-minute movies. Seriously, it's like I don't have enough time to say two hours and forty-five minutes. I'm exhausted just saying that twice. I can't stand it.

MTV: Do you have it on your iPhone or something? I heard a rumor that you had "Trek" footage somewhere.

Abrams: I did have it on my iPhone. Not the whole movie. I just had a little trailer footage. I showed Simon Pegg when we were at Comic-Con, I showed him this little trailer thing, and it was my favorite thing ever. He literally started weeping. It was ridiculous. He was sitting there, I mean, he must have been plastered. Because he was looking at my iPhone [crying].
