Now this is something I'll never understand. Why has Abrams been handed the reins of Star Trek when he doesn't even understand the universe? Forgive my ignorance - I haven't seen the film myself - but that just sounds completely stupid to me.
He told Paramount he knew nothing about Star Trek.
They hired him anyway.
Supposedly, he was hired off of his directing Mission Impossible 3 for Paramount.
It was the least successful film in that franchise.
Go figure.
Never look for logic from Hollywood. You'll go insane.
