Abrams <\/strong>will direct <em>Star Trek XII<\/em>, but doesn&#8217;t know that for certain, although he is hopeful. &#8220;I haven&#8217;t heard anything,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I certainly hope so. Knowing J.J. I think he will have a pretty tough time handing this baby off to someone off. He was such an instrumental force of nature in delivering that film and creating those characters and ensuring that the <em>Star Trek<\/em> that was released was not some vacuous special effects extravaganza and that it was a character driven film. My hopes are that he will come back to the director\u2019s chair.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Regarding <em>Judge Dredd<\/em>, Urban was offered the role after a meeting with <strong>Pete Travis <\/strong>and<strong> Andrew McDonald<\/strong>. &#8220;We&#8217;ve had a really wonderful meeting of the minds and long story short, they have offered me the role and we&#8217;re in the process of making that happen,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Urban debunked rumors that he was involved in the next <em>Final Destination<\/em> movie, <em>Relentless <\/em>and<em> Hired Guns<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As Comic-Con continues, Star Trek actors speak up about the sequel due out in 2012,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2413,2689,2401],"tags":[3315,2487],"class_list":["post-9731","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cast-crew","category-star-trek-xii","category-star-trek-xi","tag-judge-dredd","tag-urban"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"T&#39;Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/cast-crew\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Cast &amp; Crew<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/star-trek-xii\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Star Trek Into Darkness<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/star-trek-xi\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Star Trek: XI<\/a>","tag_info":"Star Trek: XI","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9731","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9731"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9731\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9733,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9731\/revisions\/9733"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9731"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9731"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9731"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
