It looks to be that there will be a Star Trek 2 and it is all in the works, according to actor Zachary Quinto, who played Spock in Star Trek He says, “It’s definitely happening,” Quinto told Newsarama. .jpg)
“I know that Bob [Orci] and Alex [Kurtzman] and Damon [Lindelof] and J.J. [Abrams] have been working and talking and developing stories. I don’t think there’s a script yet. I know there’s not a script yet. But they’re working on it and they’re talking about it. I think the great thing about the experience with the first film is that it really was an organic evolution."

" And I think that it was rooted in a real sense of creative collaboration and excitement and enthusiasm and support. And I think they want to make sure any subsequent film is rooted in that same territory, in that same landscape,” he said. “So I don’t think anybody’s rushing anything. And I think that’s actually really smart. And I have implicit trust in all those guys creatively and professionally.”
At least Abrams and crew are taking the time for this beloved franchise and according to Quinto the other cast members, including Pine as Kirk, are currently able to pursue other projects, although he’s expecting the same ensemble to reunite for the sequel when production begins.
“I know when the time is right and everything falls into the place, the crew shall reassemble for the missions. But until then, we’re all exploring different landscapes and figuring out the best way for us to go creatively as individuals,” he said.
We are all anxiously awaiting to see if a second round will be as good as the first one.
