J.J. Abrams to Produce “Star Trek XI”
04.21.2006J.J. Abrams, producer of hit shows Lost and Alias, as well as director of the upcoming Paramount film “Mission: Impossible III,” is slated to produce the next Star Trek feature, according to today’s Daily Variety.
Although the official Paramount press release should follow shortly, word about the Abrams project surfaced this morning in the daily trade paper. He will be writing the script with Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci who penned “MI: III.” Although Abrams is not yet confirmed to direct the project, he isn’t ruling it out either.
The proposed story will focus on the early days of James T. Kirk and Spock, including their first meeting at Starfleet Academy and their first mission in space.
Although it’s not confirmed, Abrams’ producing partners from Lost, Damon Lindelof and Bryan Burk are cited as being producers on the untitled “Trek XI” feature. (This project is separate from the previously rumored script developed by Eric Jendersen and overseen by Rick Berman.)
This new film is currently targeted for a 2008 release.

Are they planning on getting Bill and Leonard for the roles? If not I don’t even know if I want to see it, who wants to see two other yahoos trying to play Kirk and Spock
Prequels NO WAY with star trek. Enterprise bombed don’t repeat it with another scenario doomed for failure.

Some untold story about Voyager or something like that would be great IMO!

I agree. It would be odd seeing other actors in these roles. Although Shatner & Nimoy could have cameos as their own grandfathers. Drogar-Laugh(LBG).gif
Seriously though, I can’t imagine droves of people going to the theater unless there were some guest appearances by previous Trek cast members. (Kind of like Worf playing his grandfather in Star Trek 6.) Only the die hard Trekkers would go to the theater to see a bunch of unknowns on screen.

Yeah, it doesn’t make much sense. I don’t know what the writers are thinking
Well remember they’re saying an ’08 release so there is still plenty of time for this to be changed and reworked. They don’t say anything about a firm script or start date.
I love Trek, but I really think its time to let it rest for 10 years or so. Kinda like Lucas did for Star Wars.
Lucas let it rest for 15 or more remember??? 1984 to 1999.
