Although he was confirmed for the director’s chair this past summer, Bob Orci will no longer direct the upcoming, still unofficially titled, Star Trek 3 (or 13, depending on your personal understanding of temporal dynamics). What’s more, Deadline brings word that, among the potential replacements on Paramount Pictures’ short list, is none other than Shaun of the Dead and The World’s End helmer Edgar Wright!
There’s no word yet on the reason for Orci’s departure and it is still believed that the film will move forward with the same screenplay, scripted by Orci, Patrick McKay and J.D. Payne. Although a release date has not been specified, it is widely believed that the plan is for the film to hit theaters in 2016, as the year marks the 50th anniversary of the “Star Trek” franchise.
Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Anton Yelchin, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, Zoe Saldana and John Cho are all expected to reprise their roles as the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701. Plot details have not yet been revealed, although Orci stated earlier this year that his plan was to set the action in deep space, unlike the relatively Earth-centric J.J. Abrams films.
This news is still breaking, so check back for updates as they become available.

Devin normally covers all the Star Trek stuff, so I’ve been a little out of the loop even though a lot has been going on. For one thing, the film is now a Justin Lin jam, which bodes well for crew camaraderie and Vin Diesel cameos. But that’s not the only exciting news Star Trek 3 has in store.
According to Deadline, major geek and co-writer of three films with snooty college dissertation-worthy screenplays Simon Pegg will co-write the third Star Trek movie alongside Doug Jung. That is some serious news. For us AND for Doug Jung.
The two are writing the film probably as we speak. I talked to Pegg on the phone, and the plot revolves around Scotty as he goes on awesome James Bond adventures all around the Universe. There are no other characters in the film (except his little alien pal, of course).
Whatever the film ends up REALLY being about, this is the kind of smart move that automatically raises faith for a film I’m sure many were iffy on after the atrocious Star Trek: Into Darkness. With any luck, this new series will stick to Star Trek’s much-discussed (and not really all that true) every other movie quality rule.
