'Star Trek' director J.J. Abrams is already thinking about working on a sequel, and admits anything is possible with the script.

Speaking about the possibility of revisiting old plots from a different time perspective, he told SCI FI Wire: "The great thing is we're all open to anything. I think the fun of where we are with 'Star Trek' is that it can and should just be fully explored. So I think to limit ourselves to only new adventures would be a mistake."

Meanwhile, the filmmaker also spoke about the forthcoming 'Mission Impossible IV', revealing that despite his attachment to the project, he is not planning to direct his second movie in the franchise.

He added: "Well, there's no director attached to the movie yet. We're just developing an idea, which I think is very cool, so we're just starting it out, but it's exciting. It's a fun idea, and it's always an honour to work with Tom Cruise. We would definitely produce the movie together, and details from there we're still figuring out."
