Filmmaker will continue with the franchise as a producer

Good. Maybe the new director will be someone who actually LIKES and UNDERSTANDS Star Trek, instead of someone who wishes it were actually Star Wars.

Can we have Dorothy Fontana write the script? Or Leonard Nimoy? Or a real science fiction author, like Robert J. Sawyer or Lois McMaster Bujold?

Oh god YES.

OMG can you just imagine Leonard Nimoy directing the next one??? XDD that movie would be fucking amazing.

I already know for a fact nimoy won't do it. He doesnt like directing that much.
But...OMG we can dream!

David Gerrold's a pretty decent director...maybe he should have a shot at it.
Even Leonard's son, Adam. That would be neat.

Agree with you except for Nimoy - he's supported the last two films so much that I don't trust his judgment.
