Bringing in someone who's actually directed a Trek movie or two would be a smart move. (Paging Mr. Frakes!) They probably won't of course. ;)

There's, uh, rumours (if it even qualifies as that) about Edgar Wright being one of the new candidates. Probably something someone came up with because of Pegg (or that shot he directed), but I'd be very, very happy with that choice.

Well, maybe not that happy, because a blockbuster would tie him up for a couple of years he could spend making something else. It would be a smart choice, though.
