Movies only make real money if people see them more than once, something most people didn't do with the last few Trek films. As for people not liking the idea of a prequel I'm not so convinced it will matter if the film is good, also just because a few fans complain about the idea on the net doesn't mean the silent majority won't love the idea.

And trek has such a nerd stigma attached that very few main stream fans will take the chance of being seen in the theatres. Bringing back Kirk/Spock is fanboy fiction at its worst. JJ is going to ruin trek, then fluff it off and make Lost or MI4. Move over 150 kilotonne nuclear warhead cause there's a new bomb in town.

If this is the case, i will be somewhat dissapointed because StarTrek has always been about moving forward not backward. To me how can you just abandon all of the material that was made about the 24th century; 21 seasons of TV, and 4 feature films. Now granted in no way am i defending berman and braga during the last few years of their run, they definately got sloppy and burned out, howeverthey did give us great stoytelling basically throughout the 90s. I think everyone will agree with me that Enterprise was the attempt to go back and do the prequel and quite simply it didnt work, nobody cared, and the cast was to one dimensional. To summarize, I believe the future of this franchise should be exactly that; THE FUTURE first stay off of television at least for a while so the market doesnt get saturated. scond give us a movie post nemesis or farther in the future people, has it even been confirmed by paramount that this film is going to be a TOS movie, i know the rumor mill has been running wild with it, but i have yet to hear solid confirmation of this.

And I'd have Daren Doc involved with pre-production design, and have an Enterprise that looked like the Motion Picture version, except with those fantastic, and problematic, Nacelle Caps! ;) Live long and prosper.

Anthony, I respectfully disagree that Abrams' involvement in a project like Cloverfield does in fact interfere with Trek XI if those projects commence concurrently. No, Abrams doesn't need to be Trek XI's director, but if this movie is going to be budgeted over $100 million like we all project, and if it is meant to revive the franchise, shouldn't that be Abrams' main focus? Orci and Kurtzman are following Abrams' lead. So will the director, if it's not going to be Abrams himself. If he chooses to develop and direct another movie while Trek XI is in production/post-production, I will be really concerned. My big bone to pick re: Abrams is this- he spreads himself too thin.
