With J.J. Abrams out of the Star Trek universe and playing in the Star Wars universe, Star Trek 3 needs a new director. And a “NEW” director is what Star Trek will receive. Roberto Orci will make his Major Movie directing debut with Star Trek 3. He has been writing this sequel with J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay. It is rumored that Orci is a huge fan of Star Trek and he helped include most of the references and nodes to the original series. (Hitfix)

Larry, you wrote, “It is rumored that Orci is a huge fan of Star Trek”. I have been re-watching Enterprise and his name is listed as producer on most episodes, so he has been involved in Star Trek for a long time; associated with quality work. He is one of the few people besides JJ that I automatically feel good about directing a trek movie.
