Roberto Orci, one of the men behind the recently rebooted Star Trek, has allegedly told a SKY News reporter that he has met CBS chiefs about a new TV series based on Gene Roddenberry’s creation.
At a recent UK press junket for Ender’s Game, the JJ Abrams collaborator told reporter Joe Michaelczuk that there has been a meeting to bring the influential sci-fi franchise back to television.
Michaelczuk tweeted: “Bob Orci just told me they’ve had a meeting with CBS to revive @StarTrek on TV…This made me v excited.”
No idea who they are although it wouldn’t be much of a jump to suggest that producing partner Alex Kurtzman would be one of them.
The big question now is: will the new series, if it comes to fruition, recast the Enterprise crew or will we see an altogether different take a la Deep Space Nine?
As ever, let us know your thoughts.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
