Rumor: Joe Cornish To Direct Star Trek 3

Deadline is reporting that director Joe Cornish (Attack the Block) might be tapped to direct Star Trek 3. Their source is unknown and Paramount has not commented on the rumor so for now it falls in the grain of salt category. The director also co-wrote Marvel's Ant-Man and The Adventures of Tintin. I saw Attack the Block but really little about it stuck with me as being impressive so difficult to make a call on if the choice would be a wise one or not. It would definitely be a new voice to the franchise which might help bring back that exploration of the unknown while exploring the human condition that the previous action films have lacked. Time will tell as always with rumors like these.
