Another Trek movie?

After the last two abominations from Yahoo!News, I am loathe to trust them, but this comes from Reuters, which means it’s probably true.

They are reporting that a new Star Trek movie is in the works. Can this really be? I figured Nemesis would be the last one, after it tanked in the theaters (it wasn’t very good, but it wasn’t truly awful). But who knows– even if it doesn’t do well, it’ll still make a ton of cash. They’re reporting that J. J. Abrams will direct it– he did Mission Impossible III, a movie you couldn’t pay me to see. Tom Cruise, as I have been known to say, is a freakin’ nutbag. But Abrams also did Lost which is kind of cool.

Still and all, I’d rather see Firefly back on the air, but this’ll do for now.
