J. J. Abrams, the director/producer of "Star Trek Into Darkness", will be one of the directors offered a chance to direct the next "Star Wars" movie.

Vulture.com states that a "40 to 50 page treatment" for "Star Wars Episode VII", has been completed by Michael Arndt, who wrote "Toy Story 3" and "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire". The treatment is being sent to the top Hollywood directors such as Steven Spielberg and Brad Bird, including J. J. Abrams. Disney, the owner of the "Star Wars" franchise, wants to "make sure they have tried the biggest names" before selecting a director.

Abrams, who is in charge of the "Star Trek" franchise, has previously stated that is first love was "Star Wars" ---as a youngster, he was not a big fan of "Star Trek". It will be interesting to see if Abrams is tempted to direct the new "Star Wars" film, and what, if any, effect such would have on the rebooted "Star Trek" franchise.
