J.J. Abrams directing 'Star Trek 2'

It was only a matter of time, although admittedly it took quite a bit more time than expected. J.J. Abrams has been confirmed as the director of "Star Trek 2."

The first film was released in 2009.
Abrams has been working on the script for the sequel with co-writers Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof since finishing the promotional tour for "Super 8."

"Star Trek 2" had been scheduled for a June 29, 2012, release but lost it to another sequel, "G.I. Joe 2." A new release date has not been revealed.

Vulture first broke the news, stating that according to sources pre-production is underway and the script will be complete by the end of September.

The first film, released May 8, 2009, grossed $257 million domestically and $385 million worldwide.
