Unfortunately, I'm not sure that they have much of a choice but to go with the academy days of Kirk and Spock plotline if they are going to do another Trek movie. TNG is pretty much worn out after Nemesis bombed, and I'm not sure there is enough interest forin the general public fora DS9 or Voyager, and even the Trekkies would stay at home for Enterprise. A Federation-Romulan war movie sounds good, but I don't think anyone would watch it because it would be a totally new cast, crew, with all-new characters, and would basically end up being a generic sci-fi movie that just happens to take place in the Star Trek universe. That I think would be a turn-off for most people, and a bad omen for the series. Trek is in pretty bad shape after the Enterprise series. I'm not sure how one would bring it back. I think it would need another TV series, not more films. But hopefully this movie will be good, but it will be really hard to fill the shoes of William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy. Will they have McCoy in it? I would think that if they had Kirk and Spock, McCoy is also needed.
