Star Trek and JJ Abrams

I don't normally like reading Harry Knowles' stuff over at Ain't It Cool News. It may seem odd; even though I run a film review site, I don't normally read reviews. I hate spoilers, too.

Today, Harry posted something I had to read. Recently, he was in Los Angeles and had a chance to meet JJ Abrams and get a peek at the new Star Trek movie.

For years, I've been concerned about the direction of the franchise. I used to love Star Trek: The Next Generation, but in recent years, the shows and the movies left me cold. I would categorize myself with Harry's description as a "lapsed Trekkie." Even so, I have had hopes for the new film and the reboot of the franchise.

If you're worried about Abrams' direction for Star Trek, you need to read this article. Though there are no photos, Harry paints a good word picture. It has me excited about the future of Star Trek. It's enough to give me hope, and I'm eager to see more.
