SO JJ HAS APPARENTLY EARNED THE RIGHT TO BE AN UNMITIGATED GEEK IF HE WANTS TO BE: JJ Abrams will be directing, writing, and producing a Star Trek prequel, currently targeting a Fall 2008 release. According to Variety (subscription required), the film will "will center on the early days of seminal 'Trek' characters James T. Kirk and Mr. Spock, including their first meeting at Starfleet Academy and first outer space mission." Interestingly, JJ's producing partners are Damon Lindelof and Bryan Burk -- a/k/a his Lost production team.

I have to confess that I find this idea strangely compelling. Then again, I will follow JJ anywhere. Even to a Tom Cruise movie.
