Director J.J. Abrams signs on for 11th 'Star Trek' film

"Mission: Impossible III" director J.J. Abrams is going from Cruise control to warp speed. A couple of weeks before the arrival of Tom Cruise and "M:I3," Abrams has committed to producing the 11th "Star Trek" feature film, and there are plans for him to direct as well, Paramount Pictures announced Friday.

Abrams also will write the script with his "Mission: Impossible III" co-writers, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, Paramount spokeswoman Nancy Kirkpatrick said.

The studio is hoping to release the new "Star Trek" film in 2008. No plot for the movie has been divulged and no one has been cast for the film.
