Next ‘Star Trek’ heads to theaters

The long-rumored “Star Trek” will begin filming this fall, Paramount confirmed Tuesday, under the direction of J.J. Abrams (“Mission: Impossible III,” “Lost,” “Alias”). The script, about Capt. Kirk and Mr. Spock’s meeting at Starfleet Academy and their first mission together, was written by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, who also did the “Mission” screenplay.
