Rumor Mill: "The Justin Bieber Guy" Might Direct Your STAR TREK 3

 

Another rumor trickling from the mill over at Latino-Review says that John M. Chu, who directed Justin Bieber in Never Say Never, and then directed Channing Tatum and The Rock in this summer's G.I. Joe: Retaliation, is apparently "a front-runner" for the director of the Abram-less Star Trek 3. As if having Kurtzman and Orci back wasn't bad enough.  

I waited on this because I wanted to confirm this and all I got was “no comment” and another source said “he’s a contender.”

Not surprising considering Chu’s relationship with Paramount and the fact that the G.I. Joe sequel has earned $371 million to date at the global box office.

Well. If that happens, who wants to be The Rock comes on as a Klingon? or Olivia Wilde as the "Borg Queen" since we're probably contuining the nerd-pandering of Cumbersnatch as KAAAAAHN.
