Thor, X Men: First Class) The Hollywood Reporter claims that original scribes Alex Kurtzman And Roberto Orci are in negotiations to pen a further installment of the
Star Trek franchise, with J.J. Abrams said to be in talks to produce. The site say though that Damon Lindelof, who also has a writing credit on

Star Wars Episode VII..but who will it be?
GI: JOE: Retaliation helmer Jon Chu is rumored (story a few articles down) but nothing official as of yet.
