Trekkie fans can get excited as a Star Trek 3 has landed its official director in the form of Roberto Orci, according to HitFix. Orci, who will be making his directorial debut, replaces J.J. Abrahms, who will instead take on the role of producer as he focuses his eyes on the new Star Wars film. A third film will be the followup to last year’s Star Trek: Into Darkness. There is no confirmed release date yet for this entry into the series.
Orci is well known in Hollywood for writing the scripts to some of the biggest blockbusters over the past few years, including Mission: Impossible III, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and more.
