J.J. Abrams To Direct New 'Star Trek' Film

Tycoon Guy writes "TrekToday reports that Paramount has asked 'Lost' creator J.J. Abrams to direct a new 'Star Trek' film. The movie will be set at Starfleet Academy and will feature younger versions of James T. Kirk and Spock, chronicling their first meeting at the Academy and their first outer space mission. The movie is set for a 2008 release and will apparently be one of Paramount's biggest projects for the year."

Gods, you must be young...Kirk/Spock (aka "slash") fan fiction has been around since the '70s. A couple of good friends of mine used to help run one of the Slash Fanzines. I think it is funny that today there is all this talk about how popular lesbians having sex is as a male fantasy...but the fact virtually all Slash fiction was written by women back then...and may still be today for all I know (*not* my genre of Trek fanfic) it seems to go both ways.
