Star Trek 3: Orci out! Wright at bat?

Big doings on Star Trek 3. 
Script problems, fan reaction and the fact that he's never actually directed a film before have commingled to oust Roberto Orci from helming the next Trek outing.

Paramount must be scrambling, as the film is slated to release in 2016 as part of the franchise's 50th Anniversary. So if the script's getting tossed out, there could be a warp core breach. You're not gonna make it to 2016 on impulse power, gang - you need a capable new Captain, and fast.

The good news is that the front-runner is Edgar Wright! The Cornetto fan fave recently left Ant-man over creative differences, and the idea of his sensibilities set loose in the Trek universe is a giddy concept to consider! 
Plus, I hear he has a history with Simon "Scotty" Pegg...

All rumor and wishful thinking at this point, but Paramount will have to go to warp very, very soon, so expect an update in the very near future!
