So despite all the gloom and doom surrounding the Star Trek franchise, it seems that there is still forward motion on a movie being referred to as a prequel to the original series. The working title is Star Trek: The Beginning, which I find interesting since I thought Enterprise was supposed to be “the beginning”.
It will take place a couple of years after the events of Star Trek: Enterprise and will not follow the traditional Trek format of starship captain and crew on a ship. Oh, there will be a ship or two floating around somewhere but that’s not the focus of the story. There will also be no characters from any of the existing series involved.
Now don’t get me wrong, I’m ever hopeful when it comes to Star Trek… but if this takes place shortly after Enterprise, why not include at least one or two characters from that show? I suppose they associate that series with failure and want to steer as clear away from it as possible.

I’m a big fan star trek and i think that it’s neat that they want to go back to the beginning of everything,but i don’t think that matt damon as kirk is a good choice i like the guy but he doesn’t look anything like william shatner. I think they should cast an unkown who resembles Shatner no matter how long the casting will take. Now Josh hartnett would be a good version of a young spock. I just would like to see a good young look alike for kirk but other than that i’m fine with everything. Well so far.
Absolutely they should go with an unknown. I think they’re committing financial suicide if they go with a well known actor. They need to be thinking “Chris Reeve as Superman”.

Exactly what i’m saying. Do what they did with Brandon Routh and then the movie will be exactly like the original. I think that people should tell paramount that. Because if this goes forward then the movie won’t do very well.
