It's Official! J.J. Abrams Will Direct 'Star Trek XI'

From the SyFy Portal blog:

For many months, there has been rampant rumors that Abrams was on again and off again in directing the next Star Trek project, which he took over last year from writer Erik Jendresen. But now it seems that Abrams will indeed direct the film. Abrams also will continue in a producer role for the film through his Bad Robot production company as well as with Paramount, which owns the rights to Star Trek. It had been rumored that Abrams was in conversations with Stephen King to direct a Dark Tower movie. It appears now that if Abrams does become attached to that project, it would not interfere with him directing the next Star Trek film.
