Star Wars Episode VII to be Directed by Star Trek Director

Yes that's right, J.J Abrams, the man who directed Star Trek and Star Trek: Into The Darkness as well as: Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol, Super 8, Cloverfield and (one of the best movies of all time)  Armageddon is set to direct Star Wars Episode VII. Though he denied it several weeks ago, there were hints that he was still interested, particularly since Adams has said he was always a 'Warsie' rather than a 'Trekkie' ( apparently 'Trekkers' are true fans of Star Trek),

'I frankly feel that – I almost feel that, in a weird way, the opportunity for whomever it is to direct that movie, it comes with the burden of being that kind of iconic movie and series. I was never a big 'Star Trek' fan growing up, so for me, working on 'Star Trek' didn’t have any of that, you know, almost fatal sacrilege, and so, I am looking forward more than anyone to the next iterations of 'Star Wars'”'

 As well as this, Michal Arndt, who wrote Toy Story 3, Little Miss  Sunshine, Oblivion and Phineas and Ferb, will be doing the screenwriting.
