STAR TREK 3 Will Be Written by THOR Scribes

Movie Thor by Joey Paur

It looks like Paramount Pictures is ready to get moving on Star Trek 3! According to Badass Digest, writing duo Ashley Edward Miller and Zack Stentz have been hired by the studio to take on the script. This is the team that wrote Thor and has a writing credit on X-Men: First Class. They also worked on Fringe

The site makes a point of mentioning that Alex Kurtzman and Bob Orci are also still attached as writers on the film, but they were instrumental in making the decision about bringing on Stentz and Miller. This news isn't official yet, but the studio is pushing to get the new sequel in theaters by 2016 to mark the franchises 50th anniversary.

Zachary Quinto recently said that Star Trek 3 could shoot next year and that J.J. Abrams might direct. The only way I could see that happening is if he dropped out of directing Star Wars, which is something that I've heard recently, but there's no way... right? That would be the worst news ever.
