Mr. Spock himself, Zachary Quinto, recently appeared at the Galway Film Fleadh where he gave attendees an update on the third film in Paramount's rebooted Star Trek series.

According to BuzzHub , Quinto said, " 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."Quinto added that J.J. Abrams still hopes to direct the next Trek but didn't elaborate. This seems highly unlikely to happen, though, as Abrams begins filming Star Wars: Episode VII in early 2014 and will then oversee post-production on that until it's 2015 release.Via ComingSoon
