Chris Pine as Captain James T. Kirk

The script for the anticipated sequel to J.J. Abrams' "Star Trek" has been outlined and is awaiting the director's approval.

Co-writer Roberto Orci spoke with TrekMovie, saying, "Just been waiting for JJ to be free to really decide if he likes the story and hear his suggestions before we finish the script. Once he says go, we’ll have it in no time. Meanwhile, our outline is detailed enough (70+ pages!) to do some prep."

Orci is writig the script along with Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof. Abrams, who directed the 2009 film, has not confirmed he will be in the captain's chair for the sequel. The movie is set for a June 29, 2012 release.

"Star Trek" grossed $257 million domestically and $385 million worldwide, by far the largest gross of any "Trek" film.
