The latest issue of Dreamwatch magazine, just out in the UK, reported that the Doug Mirabello, who is the personal assistant to Rick Berman, had made a post at The Awful Forums, which pretty much denied all recent rumours about Star Trek XI, and said there isn’t likely to be any Star Trek in movie theatres or on Television for quite some time.
Mirabello reported that the Erik Jendresen Star Trek The Beginning script had been scrapped.
He also says that to his knowledge there are no plans for using Patrick Stewart in any forthcoming TNG movie projects. "It’s more likely that some executive had a casual conversation with him and brought up some hypotheticals which he ran with when some reporter asked him about Star Trek…. [But] there’s a chance that someone else at Paramount is planning something huge and keeping us out of the loop. From what I’ve heard, Patrick wouldn’t do another Trek movie unless they paid him Professor X money…"
Mirabello was also more than happy to talk about some of the problems, which had plagued Enterprise.
"They had a hit show in the 1980's… they never really evolved with the times. People generally knew when an [Enterprise] episode was bad. We even had one director go to the producers and tell them he was ashamed to direct the episode where our crew turned into lizard people. The [Enterprise] finale was one of those where you’d go down to the stage and see people shaking their heads while reading the script."
As to if there is a future for any new Star Trek on television in the next few years, Mirabello is not optimistic, and is less so now that the merger between UPN and WB is in full swing.
"The TV side is now technically in control of the franchise’s future, and Les Moonves hates all things Sci-Fi. However, I think this is actually for the best – the public needs to want to see Star Trek again. The best way to achieve this is to take it away for a few years and then bring it back and do it right. The franchise needs a totally new creative team, some time off, and a cool new approach."
The original report can be found at Sci Fi Pulse.

Such comments align with speculation that has been around for some while: This particular Trek XI script was just a chew toy that Paramount tossed to Berman to keep him preoccupied while his contract with the Trek franchise expires.
Methinks Paramount isn't quite as stupid or evil as some fans want to believe.

Then can some kind person leak the script so that we can see what we would have thought of it?

(because I believe that "making more now" doesn't automatically mean "more of the same" if you put the right creative people on it)...but this development does provide assurance of one thing: Star Trek, when it comes back, will come back the way it needs to come back: on television, where it has more of an opportunity to rebuild the fanbase.
