News on the upcoming Star Trek Into Darkness follow-up, currently titled Star Trek 3, has been coming in slowly but surely over the last few weeks, thanks to director Roberto Orci taking part in a number of interviews. We've learned of a rumored William Shatner cameo and a possible reunion with Leonard Nimoy, but this week, series star Karl Urban shared some excitement over the plot and informed fans that J.J. Abrams' ideas for the next movie are "phenomenal."

During the special Destination Star Trek 3 event this week, Urban appeared on stage to answer questions from fans. While the Dredd star admitted he ahdn't read a script for the next movie, he was happy to talk about meeting with the film's producer, Abrams, to talk about it.

"I'm am going to meet with JJ [Abrams] in a couple of days and I'm looking forward to that, he explained at the fan event. "And the important thing is that it is going to be phenomenal. Based on what I hear of the concept, it's going to rock and you guys are going to love it. "

Those following this new Trek movie series and its actors understand that Urban is a huge fan of the original series, so having him describe this new movie as "phenomenal" should be a pretty great reason to pay attention to the project.
