Abrams. But set to take his place? FAST AND FURIOUS director, Justin Lin.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Gotta be honest, I don&#8217;t know how I feel about this. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, whatever the reason, I&#8217;m glad Orci isn&#8217;t directing anymore. I mean, anything his former writing partner, Alex Kurtzman, did without Abrams&#8230; well, it pretty much sucked. And even with Abrams involved as a producer, that&#8217;s still no guarantee of success (anyone remember MAN OF STEEL)&#8230; But Justin Lin? I mean he&#8217;s directed some of favorite installments of the FAST AND FURIOUS franchise, and Lin certainly understands action&#8230; but STAR TREK is something different entirely, and I don&#8217;t only say that as a huge fan of STAR TREK, but it&#8217;s, well, a different genre altogether. One where you can&#8217;t rely on guilty pleasure action sequences alone. There&#8217;s a level of thought, and characterization to the players and, well, characters needed that I just haven&#8217;t seen Lin put to screen.<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s not to say he&#8217;s not capable. But I would hate to see his trial run be with a franchise I love. *fingers-crossed<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So you&#8217;ve probably heard by now that Roberto Orci has stepped away from the directing gig for STAR TREK 3, but will remain as producer, along with J.J.
