A l t e r E g o 9 Posted December 23, 2014 Star Trek 3’s New Director Will Be ‘Fast & Furious 6′ Helmer Justin Lin Paramount Pictures, Skydance Productions and JJ Abrams’ Bad Robot just set Justin Lin to direct Star Trek 3, filling the biggest open directing assignment out there with the filmmaker credited with reviving the Fast & Furious series. Lin helmed four of the films that grossed $1.9 billion in worldwide box office. He replaces Roberto Orci, who got that job after being involved as co-writer of the revamped Star Trek series. The first two installments were directed by Abrams, who then left to direct a revival of the Star Wars franchise with Star Wars: The Force Awakens. http://deadline.com/2014/12/star-trek-3-justin-lin-director-fast-furious-helmer-1201333753/ 1 CurtisEt reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BakulaBabe 2 Posted December 25, 2014 I'm a little worried about that choice, because I haven't seen any of his other movies (no interest), but I enjoy the TV show he's involved with, Scorpion. I was really hoping for Jonathan Frakes. Oh well! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GhostofMajorHayes 10 Posted January 11, 2015 Justin Lin is a superb choice. He will helm Star Trek back to greatness ( yes, it can get better than the last film). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
