Paramount may be busy prepping for the release of the new 'Star Trek' movie on May 8, but they are already planning the sequel.

According to The Hollywood Reporter the studio has hired  Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof to write the screenplay.

There are no plot details as yet but the writers are hoping to turn something in by the end of the year, with a summer 2011 release on the cards.

The studio is reportedly looking to see fan reaction to the franchise's rebirth in May before deciding what direction to take the sequel.

J.J. Abrams, who is directing the latest film, has agreed to produce the sequel but no decision has been made on whether he will direct it.
