If you've been to our site before, then you know that we thoroughly enjoyed J.J. Abrams's version of Trek. That also includes the score. Michael Giacchino made the perfect emotional accompaniment to J.J's striking visuals. We just learned from ComingSoon.net that Michael will be returning to write the score for Star Trek XII or Star Trek 2 as some are calling it.

"Yes, I'll be back," Giacchino told ComingSoon.net last night at a home video release event for the duo's last collaboration, Super 8. "I'll be there just as soon as they finish it."

As for now, Michael has been working on J.J's other sequel project Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. When asked about the direction he would take the next Trek score...

"Right now I'm not looking at anything," he laughed of his overloaded scheduled this past year. "I'm just going to go into my closet and shut the door for months."
