The director of four entries in the Fast And Furious franchise will take the reins on the third episode in the sci-fi series and replaces Roberto Orci.
Lin directed The Fast And The Furious: Tokyo Drift, Fast & Furious, Fast Five and Fast & Furious 6.
Orci left Star Trek 3 - due out in 2016 - earlier this month although he stays on as producer.
He wrote the first two Star Trek films, which JJ Abrams directed and amassed more than $852m worldwide through Paramount.
Tom Tykwer’s German thriller was a breakout for the director and his star star Franka Potente.
Total LA-based production shoot days were down 8.7% in Q1.
Further winners included Kamal Aljafari’s ‘A Fidai Film’ in Burning Lights.
