'Cause Paramount's already got a sequel to this summer's Star Trek in the works.
As Paramount Pictures readies the May 8 release of its Star Trek franchise relaunch, the studio is moving forward with a sequel, and has hired Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof to pen the screenplay.J.J. Abrams, who directed and produced the latest chapter, is onboard to produce the follow-up alongside his Bad Robot partner Bryan Burk. No decision has been made yet on whether Abrams will return behind the camera for the sequel.
Orci, Kurtzman and Lindelof also are receiving producing credit on the sequel.
Story is still in the embryonic stage, but the trio are aiming to deliver their script to the Melrose studio by Christmas for what would likely be a summer 2011 release.
That's from Variety, and from TrekMovie, one can learn that Abrams and his pals are called, for some reason, the "Supreme Court." Which means I FINALLY have a reason to post this image.
Good day.

you don't need a reason to post that picture
Hell yea, Star Trek 831 beetches! Can't wait to geek-out.
So is JJ going to do a night court prequel? Mel Torme goes back in time to kill Harry Stone?
Night Court is still one of the funniest shows ever. Right up there with WKRP.
