Abrams unsure about directing next 'Trek'

JJ Abrams has admitted that he has not yet signed on to direct the next Star Trek movie.

The filmmaker confessed that he would be heartbroken if another director took the helm of the sequel, but said that he would not commit to the project until he had seen a script that he liked.

"The truth is, the idea of anyone else directing the next Star Trek film breaks my heart," he told Coming Soon. "I had the most fun ever with these people. But it's impossible to know when the script is done.

"That's the time to look at it and ask, 'Is this the right thing for the movie? Is it the right thing for me? My family?' and all that stuff. It's so hard to know a year out with no script in existence if I should direct the movie. I look forward to making that decision when the time comes."

Trek actor John Cho recently said that he would like to see classic series villain Khan return for the next instalment.
