Certain roles in the J.J. Abrams directed/produced Star Trek film will be announced next month at San Diego’s Comic Con, according to IESB.

Abrams’ “Lost” collaborators and writers of the “Star Trek” script, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, sat down with a group of reporters at a press conference being held for Michael Bay’s “Transformers” movie and they revealed this and some other information when queried by reporters. The other bit of news is that shooting on the 11th film of the 41-year old franchise will begin this November.

Neither Orci or Kurtzman would say if the casting announcements coming next month will be for major roles or supporting cast.

“Star Trek 11,” or simply “Star Trek,” is looking at a Christmas Day (Dec. 25th) 2008 premiere.
