Will he, or won’t he? The Hollywood Reporter posted a report this morning that included the following:

“Over at Paramount Pictures, for example, there is now a question whether J.J. Abrams will direct “Star Trek XI.” The studio insists that the “Lost” creator was never officially attached to direct the film, only to produce it. However, in July, upon announcing Abrams’ film production pact with Paramount, then-studio president Gail Berman said Abrams was on board to direct the next installment in the sci-fi franchise and that it would be his first project under the new feature deal.”

They went on to state that, while Paramount hopes that Abrams will direct the next installment of the aging franchise, he is expected to make his decision this week.
