They want it done in time for the christmas 2008 movie season.

They (paramount) have dropped Nicholas Meyer as director and the Earth vs. romulan wars plotline in favor of a film set in the academy days of Kirk and spock. They wanted abrams becasue they liked the job he did on MI:3, and also like his shows alias and Lost.

They have yet to announce the actors or any possible candidates for the roles of James T. Kirk or Mr. Spock.

Obviously shatner and nimoy are too old.

when i read the headline it was about another original star trek movie, but then after reading the article i realized it was a prequel and not a return of the original crew.

Anyway, the doctor and scotty being dead theres only the rest of them still alive.

Somehow, I almost think that would be a better course of action than letting them make another new film so soon after making people hate Trek.

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.

I know they would never do it, but I think they need to take advice from DC comics and have a crissis of some kind that permanently changes the history of the Star Trek universe, restarts it and takes away all the s**t that has been added to it in the last 15 years. I think it could actually be a good movie. They could bring together TOS, TNG, Vovager, DS9, Enterprise and even maybe Pike for one last hurrah. They would have to come with some sort of Super Villian(make sure you sign a great actor and the right actor to play the part) that would require their combined efforts to stop and somehow result in a total rewrite of history. Maybe have it involve that planet that Pike visited in the original Star Trek pilot: The Cage. Don't do it on the cheap. Allow for twice the normal budget for a Star Trek movie. Pull out all the stops. Afterwards they would have a blank page to do any kind of series they wanted. I know they would never do it, but what do you think?

Young Kirk & Young Spock... is this really a good idea?
I'd like a qui-gon jinn please with an Obi-Wan to go.

Red heads ROCK. Blondes do not rock. Nuff said.
