J.J. Abrams is tearing IMWAN apart.

I think it is disrespectful to Abrams to make more Star Trek movies.

I want to see Harry Mudd...the dark, brooding Harry Mudd.

The way he was intended to be.

"Ambassador Spock! This is Commander Spock! Can you tell me how you defeated Harry Mudd's robots?!"

"Well, we spoke nonsense and danced around until they shut themselves down."

"No, seriously..."

They are fulfilling the letter of his contract, but not the spirit.

JJ Abrams backs Joe Cornish to direct 'Star Trek 3'

JJ Abrams has given his backing to Joe Cornish as a potential director for Star Trek 3.

Abrams helmed both the 2009 reboot and this year's sequel Into Darkness but will not return for the next installment as he will be busy working on the eagerly anticipated upcoming Star Wars movie.

Last month, it was rumoured that Cornish - best known for being one-half of Adam & Joe and the director of 2011's British sci-fi flick Attack The Block - was Paramount Pictures' first choice to take over the Star Trek franchise. Speaking in an interview with MTV, Abrams said: "My guess is that's up in the air. I adore him and love him and can't wait to see what he does next. Hopefully it will be Star Trek. Whatever it is, he's brilliant. Attack The Block was one of my favourite movies of the year when it came out."

Abrams also said that he regretted the way he had handled Benedict Cumberbatch's villain in Into Darkness. The character was originally introduced as John Harrison before later revealing that he was the classic villain Khan, but Abrams said he now wished had been honest about his identity from the start. "The truth is, I think it probably would have been smarter just to say upfront, 'This is who it is,'" he said. "It was only trying to preserve the fun of it, and it might have given more time to acclimatise and accept that’s what the thing was."

"It was so important to the studio that we not angle this thing for existing fans. If we said it was Khan, it would feel like you've really got to know what Star Trek is about to see this movie. That would have been limiting," he added. "I can understand their argument to try to keep that quiet, but I do wonder if it would have seemed a little bit less like an attempt at deception if we had just come out with it."

"It was so important to the studio that we not angle this thing for existing fans. If we said it was Khan, it would feel like you've really got to know what Star Trek is about to see this movie."

They might have avoided some of these problems if they didn't retell a classic Trek story and did something original.

Roberto Orci to Direct ‘Star Trek 3′

After weeks of rumblings that Roberto Orci was the frontrunner, sources have told Variety that Skydance and Paramount have indeed tapped Orci to direct Paramount and Skydance’s “Star Trek 3.”

Orci is currently writing the story with J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay and had been campaigning to replace J.J. Abrams as director for some time. Abrams is busy with directing the next installment of the “Star Wars” franchise and will only be producing this pic.

Par, Skydance and his reps had no comment.

Plot details are unknown, but cast members including Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto are expected to return. Abrams will produce along with his producing partner Bryan Burke and Skydance’s David Ellison.

The news comes after Orci and longtime writing partner Alex Kurtzman decided to go their separate ways on future filmmaking endeavors (although their TV production company is staying intact). Sources had told Variety that both were looking to direct more pics and that going solo would be in the best interest of both parties.

Orci is repped by CAA.
