J.J. Abrams expands Paramount deal


March 26, 2009 Paramount will release its big-budget, Abrams-directed "Star Trek" reboot May 8. Abrams and Burk's outfit, which includes film head Sherryl Clark and TV head Kathy Lingg, is known for its focused development, silence about plot lines and stealth marketing. Among other projects in their stable are a remake of the 1980 teen-sex drama "Little Darlings"; "Men Making Music," a competing-men's-choruses comedy written by Clay Tarver; and a potential franchise adaptation of the epic Stephen King series "The Dark Tower," which Damon Lindelof will tackle after "Lost" ends.
