In a recent phone interivew with MTV Movie Blog, 'Star Trek' director J.J. Abrams talks about Star Trek XII needing to "evolve" and not become an "over the top, polemic, on-the-nose alegory".

Whew, we had to look a few of those up. Anyway, it's good to hear J.J. reassure us Trek fans that we're not in store for just any sequel.

J.J. Also explains that "The first one (Star Trek XI) did what it was required to do, which was bring the family together and reset".  He continues "It was a bridge, no pun intended, between what came before, what the 'Star Trek' people knew and the 'Star Trek' of now. And that was the heavy lifting of the first film."

Check out the audio from the interview below.
