AICN posted an article about Star Trek The Beginning, the unmade Star Trek XI script written by Erik Jendresen. According to the article, the proposal came from (then) Star Trek overlord Rick Berman & a production team which included Jordan Kerner and Kerry McCluggage. There is a lot of information about this "Romulan Wars lost prequel movie" in the article, so here is just a few excerpts. Beware of spoilers.
The script begins on Earth during August-September 2159 (this would place it between ENTERPRISE and ORIGINAL SERIES continuity).
"The human race has a lot going on: the United Earth Stellar Navy (UESN) is a military attempting to find its place in the changing political landscape, and hone its interaction with a recently formed Coalition of Planets. Earth is changing...politics are changing. Extraterrestrials are becoming accepted and common members of our society, but this is also altering the way humans think, and the way things are done.
"There's talk of UESN merging with Starfleet, which would essentially militarize the exploration-based Starfleet. "Peace is too important to be left to politicians" intones one Commodore."
"The NX-Omega is ready to fly - the first Warp 8 capable ship ever built (Warp 8 was the maximum warp stated for THE ORIGINAL SERIES Enterprise)."
"And...oh, yeah! There's that mammoth Romulan attack fleet approaching Earth using a trajectory which conceals it behind Earth's moon."
"There's one character we've seen before in TREK - it's Andorian Commander Shran. He's the blue dude with antennae played by Jeffrey Combs in ENTERPRISE."
"The NX-02 (Columbia) - also seen in ENTERPRISE - appears twice in the script. It's in an orbital shipyard and gets blasted pretty thoroughly."
"References are made to Archer & Enterprise being at Risa (TREK's "pleasure planet"). Figures; they're as ineffectual as always."
"This is principally the story of Tiberius Chase. He's the UESN's best pilot but can't get into Starfleet because of his family's bad rep. He has the heart of a warrior and the soul of a poet. He's extremely talented and highly ambitious, but he's being held back in life because of his family name. The Chase clan, it seems, is associated with a para-military militia here on Earth who fear for the purity of the human race...they feel our gene pool will be contaminated because too many alien species are coming to Earth."
"[...] Chase hatches a plan...a foolhardy, dangerous plan no one will listen to: he wants to fly to the heart of the Romulan Star Empire and wreck havoc there before the primary Romulan attack fleet arrives "offshore Earth". He wants to fragment the Romulans' war making capability from within."
Much more information about the script can be found here.

Oh My Goodness. This would have been the final nail in the coffin. Me wonders if Paramount was just letting Berman pursue this story just to take up his time until they could let him go.
Everyone was thrilled when they announced Jendreson, but when I saw Band Of Brothers, the one story he was most identified with was the only one I kept falling asleep to. I raced through all the shows before that, it took 3 attempts to finally getthrough his story, and then I watched the last ones straight through.
This feels so Bermanish- I don't know how else to put it.
