Seems odd that they would pass off one of pop culture's most iconic franchises to a guy whose best known films are the slightly-less-stupid-than-Michael-Bay-level FF flicks.
TBH though, my faith in the "NuTrek trilogy" died with the first film, when it became blatantly apparent that they were more interested in making a standard sci fi popcorn flick than tackling the complex and wondrous themes that TOS and TNG engaged in. So I don't really have any high expectations for this.

Oh calm down people. Sure Abrams is what made this franchise great but I have hope this can be quite good. I just hope this series never goes back to the boring and terrible ways pre reboot. Idris Ilba iirc is in talks to probably be the main baddie. They also stated the villain will most likely be an original character which sounds refreshing.

I highly doubt it but I'd like that a lot. If they do go Klingons I would love for them to experiment with their own super soldier based off what Khan did to them on their home world.

It does seem so.
2267 was the year the Fed-Klingon war started in the original time-lime and ST:ID took place about 2260, so it's possible they could mirror the original.
