'Star Trek 3' Director News, SPOILERS - 'Into Darkness' Writer Roberto Orci Says He's 'Guy For The Job' - Still In Talks To Helm J.J. Abrams Production

The director's seat is still open for Star Trek 3, but series writer Roberto Orci is the man in the lead to take the job. In fact, he has some big ideas for the project and believes he's the perfect fit to take over where J.J. Abrams left off with Star Trek Into Darkness. Pleading his case, Orci shared some potential teasers, spoilers and perhaps some plot details this week.

 "I am in the middle of proving to Paramount that I am the guy for the job," the director revealed.

Orci has been attached to this project as a rumored director for a few months now, so we're wondering why Paramount is taking so long to give him the go-ahead or not.

Meanwhile, his ideas for the third movie in the franchise definitely sound pretty different from the first two films.

"Well, fans are a little bit nutty, so I have got to be careful with what I say, but I can tell you that it definitely takes place in [deep] space," he revealed. "They're finally on their five year mission and that hasn't been the case in any of the previous movies. The first two movies are set up to where the original series started. Now when you watch this movie, hopefully, you will see that Kirk, Spock and Bones and Scotty, Uhura, and Chekov are very close to the original characters that you saw in the original series and from [there] they're going to hopefully discover some stuff that you haven't seen before."

This news coincides with Orci's comments last month about his ideas for the films. Read more on that HERE!
