Mission: Impossible III director J.J. Abrams told Empire Online that news of his involvement in a proposed 11th Star Trek movie made headlines without his authorization, and he wouldn't confirm reports that the film would center on a young James T. Kirk and Spock at Starfleet Academy.
"The whole thing was reported entirely without our cooperation," Abrams told the site. "People learned that I was producing a Star Trek film, that I had an option to direct it. They hear rumors of what the thing was going to be and ran with a story that is not entirely accurate."
But Abrams wouldn't say whether the movie would indeed feature Kirk and Spock. "We've made a pact not to discuss any specifics," he said, adding: "Those characters are so spectacular. I just think that, ... you know, they could live again."
A Paramount spokesman, meanwhile, previously confirmed the accuracy of reports about Abrams' Trek involvement in an interview with SCI FI Wire.
