Trek Movie Report just posted the full transcript and a video about yesterday San Diego Comic-Con Star Trek XI (or simply "Star Trek") panel attended by producer/director J.J. Abrams, star Zachary Quinto and legendary Star Trek star Leonard Nimoy. Here is excerpts from the transcript.
Abrams opening remarks on franchise, script, and why he chose to direct:
"It is an amazing honor to be here talking about Star Trek. We go into production in November. [...] when I read the script I realized I was going to be so damn jealous of anyone directing this movie. It wasn't the movie because I drank the Kool-aid and loved Star Trek, it is because the script was great. It was because characters were amazing and it was alive and funny and scary and an adventure. I showed it to my wife who is the last person who would be into Trek and she read it and said ‘you should direct this movie.' So we went to Paramount and we said this is what we wanted to do and we are just honored to be here and do this. We are obviously a long way away...there is another comic con plus six months before the movie comes out."
Abrams on Shatner and new Kirk casting:
"The thing about casting Trek is how do you possibly top or even match the cast of The Original Series...and that is really where this film takes place. William Shatner...I have met him a number of times and he is the greatest. We are desperately trying to find a way to put him in this movie. The truth is: it needs to be worthy of him - it needs to be worthy of you - it needs to be worthy to the movie. We cannot just shove him in. It would be a disaster. You would hate it, he wouldn't like it...it would be bad. So we are on that. And we are looking for a Kirk, cause that's tough too. So Kirks?...any ideas for Kirks? We are taking Kirk names."
Quinto (on if his performance will be influenced by Nimoy)
"As much as he wants it to be I supposed. It is pretty incredible to be part of something so iconic and to be doing with the support and involvement of the man who created the role is a true honor. I certainly intend to bring my own spin on it and working with these guys I am sure we will find that. But it is really nice to know that he is behind it himself."
Nimoy on Quinto and Script
"People are asking me why I am doing this movie and think the answer is pretty simple. We have a great director and a wonderful actor playing the young Spock. The answer is that it was logical. By the way I should mention this is a fabulous script...this is going to be a great movie. And I mean that, I don't say these things lightly. It is a wonderful script and great team putting it together."

Quote from StillKirok:
How could they be trying to work him in and not have him in the script?
From the get-go, Nimoy opined that he and Shat might play bookend roles, or to set up the story. As Nimoy said, just after he got the call from Paramount, last year: "They might possibly want Bill and I to set up the story as a flashback" (report).
So, only the lead-in (and, perhaps, lead-out) portion of the current script need be edited to add Shatner, and this can be done later in the production schedule. The main story, about young Kirk and Spock, wouldn't require rework.
