J.J. Abrams Considering Settings From TV’s Lost As “A Jungle Planet” In STAR TREK 2

Thanks to DarthLocke for the heads up.

Star Trek 2 (though it won’t be called that) will begin filming on January 15th, according to TrekMovie.

As we have heard recently director J.J. Abrams has been scouting locations, specifically it’s said in Hawaii for what is being considered as a “jungle planet” for his sequel. Of course J.J. Abrams’ mega successful t.v. show Lost was set in Hawaii and he will know it like the back of his hand. If you look at the image above, you can definitely imagine Kirk, Spock and McCoy beaming down and searching for life forms.

Other locations that have been scouted include a museum in Los Angeles as a stand-in for “a famous Star Trek location” but a big portion will be shot, as ever, on the Paramount lot.
