Justin Lin To Direct 'Star Trek 3,' Next 'Bourne' Movie With Jeremy Renner Postponed

Need a franchise entry directed with skill and aplomb? Call Justin Lin. Not only does he have four "Fast & Furious" movies under his belt, he's directing the first two episodes in the next season of "True Detective," and he was tapped for the next 'Bourne' movie with Jeremy Renner (more on that in a sec). Hollywood clearly trusts this guy to give audiences exactly what they want, no matter the genre, and now Paramount have snagged him for one of their biggest properties.

Deadline reports that Lin has nabbed the the gig directing "Star Trek 3." He replaces Roberto Orci who recently vacated the chair, but is still staying on as a producer, and if you're wondering where Lin has space in his schedule, one other movie just got moved out of the way.
