Abrams says Star Trek will be new story
Apparently some news sources were reporting that J.J. Abrams was to revive the old script idea for the young Kirk in his days at Star Feel Academy, well Abrams has put those stories to rest, it will be an original script.
Quite rightly the story Filmstalker had from Screen Rant was quite void of any mention of that old script, although the comments were quick to bring up the idea, the original story did not suggest that this was to be the case.
Writing duties will be assisted by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci...
So the fact that they are all writing the script is pretty clear. It's a new script, as I pointed out in the comments. The story from Empire today:
"The whole thing was reported entirely without our cooperation," says the director with a hint of regret. "People learned that I was producing a Star Trek film, that I had an option to direct it, they hear rumours of what the thing was going to be and ran with a story that is not entirely accurate."
Well what do you expect with such a loved franchise, people want it to happen and when a good name is attached they are going to get all excited, can you really blame them? Really? I'm sure it won't be the last leak either!
