We’re looking at a movie like The Dark Knight, which went one step beyond Batman Begins… It was really about something, and at the same time it was a superhero movie. We don’t want to abandon all the things that made the first movie work…but we also really want the movie to thematically resonate.”

The above tweet was filed by Damon Lindelof on Tuesday. Returning from his well deserved post-Lost vacation, Lindelof is ready to get to work full time on scripting the Star Trek sequel with Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci. We are now exactly two years away from the announced release date of June 29th, 2012.

The screenwriting team told TrekMovie last week at the Saturn Awards that they have a story and that “the next phase is to get together and try to destroy it.” Looks like that can now happen. Orci/Kurtzman claim to have a “front runner” for the sequel’s villain, and while the bad guy will likely be a bigger part of the sequel, the second movie is really “about how does the team now that they are on their journey, live together as a family, so that is still a big engine of the narrative.” They also have no idea what the title or the movie will be, and seem to have dismissed the idea of “Star Trek 2″ or “Star Trek XII”, suggesting that ut will likely have “Star Trek:” followed by a sub title.

Of course he’s joking

Watch Damon talk about LOST’s final season and the next Star Trek movie on the video below:

Damon also spoke with IGN:

So will this final season answer all our queries? Because, you know, we’ve got a lot. “We’re sort of presenting our best version of the show, and there are going to be some very conclusive elements to this season,” said Lindelof. “But at the same time, it wouldn’t be Lost if there wasn’t sort of grounds for debate amongst the fans.” Does Lindelof ever go online to check out all the theories that have been tossed around on the boards? “You can go crazy if you jump down the rabbit hole of what are people’s theories and how close they are to what it is we’re doing,” Lindelof stated. “But I think there is something rewarding about when you throw like a little Easter egg out there,” said. “And somebody goes, ‘Wait a minute. I found this. And this is what I think it means.’ You kind of sit back in your chair and say, ‘Thank god.’ Because there’s nothing worse than hiding an Easter egg and then nobody finds it.” talked a little bit about the show’s final season and the endgame we’ve all been patiently awaiting. “Every season sort of brings its own challenges,” Lindelof offered. “Obviously last year was like, how do you do time travel in a new and inventive way without confusing people or being too weird?” Lindelof went on to say that the obvious challenge for this season was being able to end the show correctly. “I do feel like one of the things that

Here’s a new mini-interview with Damon Lindelof:

Last night in Beverly Hills, Sci Fi Crush got the chance to speak briefly with Damon Lindelof, executive producer of Lost and co-writer of the upcoming Star Trek sequel.

The hit ABC series, Lost, approaches its sixth and final season in 2010.  Lindelof described writing the last episodes to be “an enormous emotional experience” and confirmed that the show’s ending has been in the works since the very beginning.

The writer also promised Lost fans that all of the show’s loose ends will be tied up in a fair and satisfying way.  ”We hope that all who put their faith in us to resolve these stories will be rewarded.  We’ve really been writing this season for the fans.”

Damon Lindelof also produced this summer’s reboot of Star Trek and has been working with Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci on developing the sequel.  ”It’s in the preliminary stages,” he said, “We’ve thrown around some cool ideas, but that’s it.”

Lindelof and Carlton Cuse are up for an Emmy for their two-parter Lost episode, “The Incident.”

We wish them all the best.

J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek reboot won’t hit the theaters until May 8, but Paramount is already moving forward with a sequel. Damon has confirmed that he will be joining the writers team:

Abrams’ Lost cocreator Damon Lindelof will join Fringe producers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman — who penned the upcoming release — to write the screenplay for the follow-up, according to Variety. Abrams will return to produce the next installment, but no decision has been made about whether he’ll also direct.

Lindelof said he hopes fans don’t think he and his colleagues are getting ahead of themselves. “There’s obviously a lot of hubris involved in signing on to write a sequel of a movie that hasn’t even come out yet,” he said. “But we’re so excited about the first one that we wanted to proceed.”

Kurtzman is eager to get fan reaction before deciding which way to go, but the trio hopes to deliver a script by Christmas for what could be a summer 2011 release.

Orzi and Kurtzman are currently working with Lindelof on Dreamworks’ Cowboys and Aliens.
