Star Trek XI Chat
On April 20, 2006 it was announced by the Associated Press that a new Star Trek movie will be produced and directed by J. J. Abrams. Paramount also confirmed that the movie will be written and produced by Abrams teammates Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman. They are aiming for a 2008 release date. The movie was said to feature a young Kirk and Spock in Starfleet Academy and their first mission. [15]
However, Abrams reported a few days later that the initial report was premature: he would like to be producer and he was offered direction, but he has not confirmed whether he has accepted that offer. Abrams said that he would like to make a movie featuring cast members from the original Star Trek like Leonard Nimoy, and the report that the movie would be a "Starfleet Academy" treatment was premature. [16] Later comments by co-executive producer Bryan Burk, made in a May 23 interview with SCI FI Wire further downplayed "Starfleet Academy" rumors, dismissing Greg Grunberg's comments on May 5 as uninformed and saying, "I can tell you that that article leaked out prematurely, so there's no formal statement made from any of us, other than we all couldn't be more excited about it." He flatly stated that the movie premise was, at the time of interview, being discussed only among "us" (presumably Abrams, Lindelof, Kurtzman, Burk and Orci). In the same interview, Burk confirmed his co-executive producership. [17]
There has been both support and opposition among the fan base for the movie being a prequel, with areas of concern running the gamut, from unease about recasting the iconic Kirk, Spock, and McCoy to fears that a "Starfleet Academy" treatment would devolve to "Star Trek 90210" (a reference to primetime soap opera Beverly Hills 90210) to the worries of a few that longtime and highly controversial Trek producers Brannon Braga and Rick Berman would not be involved. Some have even campaigned for bringing "closure" to Star Trek: Enterprise, the ratings-challenged fifth series that was cancelled after only four seasons, or somehow involving widely popular Enterprise Season Four co-executive producer Manny Coto or writers Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens in the development of XI. The most widely expressed sentiment, however, has been simple gratitude for the fact that Star Trek is again in production.
