STAR TREK 3 to Shoot Next Year with J.J. Abrams Directing?

Zachary Quinto has revealed some interesting news about Star Trek 3. He did an interview with BuzzHub and apparently said that the movie will shoot next year, and that J.J. Abrams wants to direct it. Here's what the site reports,

"I attended a public interview with Zachary Quinto at the Galway Film Festival in Ireland on Friday, and during it, he revealed that Paramount have told the Star Trek cast that they're planning to shoot ST3 in 2014, and that J.J. still wants to direct! He also told the audience he does not want to be in Episode VII, but he would like to cameo in The Big Bang Theory!"

Here's an exact quote from Quinto,

"Star Trek 3 should be filming, I suppose, next year. It’s going to be made a lot quicker than the last one. That’s the plan, although nothing is confirmed yet."

I'll be shocked if Abrams comes on to direct it, especially since he'll be heavily involved with Star Wars: Episode VII. He says nothing is confirmed, so I seriously doubt it will happen. Who do you think should come on board to direct the sequel?
