Well, certain posters at the HTF keep shooting the idea down, because Meyer and Frakes are old geezers, experience doesn't count for crap in Hollywood anymore, and good solid film making isn't what the kiddies want in a Trek film these days.
As I said over there, Paramount had better get their **** together, or the 50th anniversary will be little more than a cheesy, overpriced merchandising bonanza. :(
