Paramount is breathing life into its "Star Trek" franchise by setting "Mission: Impossible III" helmer J.J. Abrams to produce and direct the 11th "Trek" feature, aiming for a 2008 release.
I, personally, don't consider this an improvement over Rick Berman.
I do consider it an improvement. If he holds to form, it'll be only loosely tied to canon, but hella exciting.
And Trek could totally do with some excitement.

If this account of Abrams' involvement with the Superman movie is reliable, then it means the man has an utter contempt for canon.
You left out the funny part
Project, to be penned by Abrams and "MI3" scribes Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, will center on the early days of seminal "Trek" characters James T. Kirk and Mr. Spock, including their first meeting at Starfleet Academy and first outer space mission.
I think I'm gonna write a blockbuster movie about a hero who goes around slaying undead franchises.

In my mind I'm going to a Sith Academy place with this. Which brings the slashier side of fandom around full circle, in its way.
That idea of Kirk and Spock at the academy has been floating around for a very long time, so you can't blame it on Abrams.
Please somebody help me. In following up a discussion of the SGA ep "Inferno" I tried to read through an interview with Brandy Ledford. I wanted to find out what she had to say about the regular actors, but I think my brain started hemorhaging around the time I got to:
A long time ago, before I became a Christian, I was a model. I modeled with people who were very interested in science fiction. That started me reading Isaac Asimov. I was quite young and often not really with it at the time. I didn't really understand it, but it fascinated me.
Is it the randomness of her thoughts that's bugging?
And the general cluelessness, like not understanding which show the interviewer was asking her about despite him telling her several times.
Oh. I thought she was referring to some Christian/model/Asimov trifecta I was ignorant of. Well, not really but I was hoping.
