He worked on the The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn and Ant-Man screenplays, and made his directorial debut with the brilliant British sci-fi/horror movie Attack the Block. However, it is now being reported by Latino-Review's Elmayimbe that Joe Cornish is on the shortlist of filmmakers that Paramount and Bad Robot are considering as a replacement for J.J. Abrams. A third instalment in the franchise is far from confirmed at this point, especially after Star Trek Into Darkness' disappointing opening in North America. However, the studio ARE reportedly quite keen to get Star Trek 3 in theatres by the time the series celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2016. As J.J. Abrams will be far too busy with Star Wars Episode VII to work on that film, expect to hear more about any possible replacements over the coming weeks and months!

how could 2 be bad in the box office? I mean the only thing that hurt it was a bunch of other great movies that came out in the weeks ahead and after the release but otherwise it is a really good movie and doing a 3rd one, 4th and 5th or more should be something they should really focus on just as they did with the other star treks.

With the way the 2nd movie ended, with the start of the 5 year mission, any story in the 3rd movie has to be new/original like in movie 1.  I'm a fan and I didn't really hate the 2nd movie but I agree that they overdid it with how much they took from TRoK.
