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.

Movie Moron posted a new interview with Star Trek and Transformers 2 writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman and here are excerpts.
MM: You've mentioned that the fan talkbacks are informing future Star Trek films. Are there any specific suggestions that you're going to consider? Any big Red Lights of where NOT to go with the franchise?
RO: As you can imagine every kind of opinion has been expressed in relation to the movie, so there have been both red lights, green lights, yellow lights, the gamut. What they have done is very quickly identified the fork in the road, which is to do a completely original story or to harmonize with canon the way we did in the first movie, where some of the events overlapped with the original universe and were the same even if time travel hadn't happened and some of the harmonies were reversed, like Spock with Uhura instead of Kirk. They very quickly have fallen into those two camps. And that's interesting cause that's the debate we're having with ourselves. So we're literally getting to read this ongoing debate online and it's very helpful.
MM: Seems like it's a lot of people fleshing out all the possibilities.
RO: And just the merits of one philosophy over another more than any specific ideas. It's more about what's philosophically right to do. Very fascinating.
MM: We've been debating this question on the site - Why didn't Nero just warn Romulus if he went back in time?
RO: Nero is intent on returning to Romulus as a conquering hero. And he's got 150 years before there's any threat to Romulus. So his main mission is find Ambassador Spock, the man who failed him, get the weapon of mass destruction, conquer the Federation, and then return to Romulus. To do anything before that would possibly endanger Romulus and prematurely cause war.
MM: Arguably the most iconic Star Trek villain: Khan. What is the chance you're going to bring him back?
RO: What do you think Alex? 50/50? Is that a boring answer?
AK: That's a good answer.
RO: 50/50. Let's flip a coin right now on the phone. If I said 10/90 I wouldn't tell you which direction we were leaning in anyway.
The full interview is here.

Question- Why does Khan make any sense what so ever?
Is there any temporal prime directive involved when we have a firmly established alternate timeline? Why would prime Spock, who is an active participant in this timeline actively warn Starfleet and Kirk of the signifiant dangers which lie ahead - the Denovan flying pizzas, the Guardian, Khan, Talos IV.
Surely it is logical for prime Spock to spill the beans on mistakes which the Federation may make, and signifiantly deadly or dangerous missions which he knows about. Further, I would argue since the Federation is a peacekeeping and humanitarian armada, that it would be logical for prime Spock to actively work toward the accellerated expansion of the Federation to minimize the risks of Klingon, Romulan, Borg or Cardassian expansion.

Well, I would like to see a new story.
But if its Khan...
...Naveen Andrews (from Lost) all the way :)
The pic is Naveen as the Indian Maharaja in the film 'Kama Sutra'.
"The Khan in the TV episode was a much deeper and better character than the movie Khan." - thats my position too.
But seriously, I think Trek needs to show the new crew in a new story, if we ever hope for the new timeline to become a franchise in its own right. If they wanna do a new series on the same sets at some point and expand into novels, etc, this new setting needs expanding on - it needs new worlds and new civilizations, and the unknown of space.
