LOS ANGELES — The USS Enterprise is about to get a little faster. “Fast & Furious” director Justin Lin is taking the helm of the third installment in Paramount’s “Star Trek” franchise.<\/p>\n

Lin’s rep confirmed the news Monday.<\/p>\n

Lin is no stranger to franchises. He directed several of Universal’s “Fast & Furious” films, including the massively successful “Fast & Furious 6,” which made more than $788 million worldwide.<\/p>\n

J.J. Abrams directed the first two films in the rebooted “Star Trek” series.<\/p>\n

Roberto Orci was the co-writer on those first two films. He was slated to step into the director’s chair after Abrams left to work on “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” but he exited that role in early December.<\/p>\n

Orci will still serve as a writer and producer on the film. It’s slated for a 2016 release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
