Hollywood.com posted an exclusive interview with Star Trek movie executive producer Damon Lindelof, who promises that the new film is being designed to appeal to a fanbase far beyond that of traditional Trek loyalists, while also reviving interest among die hard fans. Here are few excerpts from the article.
"All I can say is I think it's going to be really, really cool," says Lindelof, who as executive producer of Lost is no stranger to holding spoilers close to his vest. "We're making the movie for the fans, but more importantly we're making it for a whole new generation of fans. We want our wives to come and understand what the hell's going on. We want our kids to understand what the hell's going on. It's not your daddy's Star Trek."
Regarding the rumors that the movie will involve time travel, Lindelof said "If I were to tell you what I thought, it would shine too much light on whether or not he was hot or cold, and quite honestly I think that kind of stuff is exciting that the fans are sort of saying ‘If Nimoy's in the movie and Quinto is playing young Spock, what could that mean for the story? Let me try to devise a possible plot line.'"
"It's very comforting for me to be a producer on this movie, just be involved in the story. I'd be very nervous to actually write that stuff. But you know, no one writes a mind-meld like Kurtzman and Orci, That's all I'll say."
Regarding the rumors of an appearance of William Shatner as Kirk in the movie, he said "There are still ongoing talks. We're pretty much exactly where we were with Comic Con ... Look, the reality is Trek was up and running and in existence and iconic before we came so we've been basically invited to the party that these guys have been throwing for the last 40 years, so obviously it would be HUGE if Mr. Shatner wanted to be any part of the franchise. It's a challenge for us, though, because they killed Kirk off ... But hey, it's Trek, anything's possible, right?"

Quote from Dukat:
My guess is that David Kelley will also play a part of the viral marketing...
Beware too the possibly bacterial 14th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, which have nominated William Shatner (Denny Crane!) and the cast of Boston Legal for "Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series."
Actor award ceremonies will be Simulcast Live on Sunday, 27 January 2008, on TNT and TBS at 8 PM ET/PT, 7 PM CT, 6 PM MT.

... That Abrahms, his team, Shatner and Nimoy have been playing all of us since the day that Nimoy was announced. This is all part of the viral marketing for the film to get people talking about it, right now, unless true plot is leaked the only buzz is from spy shots (which matter little to outside our little group of Trekkies) - and then the only really interested buzz to a wider audience is if Shatner/Denny Crane is in it.
I am not saying that Shetner is in- but he is in league with everyone to give this movie as much pop as possible. My guess is that David Kelley will also play a part of the viral marketing as the Trek nods on Boston Legal will hit a fever pitch next year, with perhaps all cast members of TOS and the movie possibly being judges, lawyers, or defendants. Heck Kelley has already had shows with six recurring guests or cast members of Trek shows all on the same episode- no other show just coincidentally has that.

William S. Kowinski, a.k.a Soul of Star Trek, also haunts the issue of How to Get Shatner Into Star Trek XI...
Once again, Star Trek XI writer Roberto Orci is saying that a part for William Shatner in the new Paramount Trek movie is still possible, if they can only figure out how to get around the death of Captain Kirk in Star Trek Generations. (Though the interview quoted on the Sci-Fi Wire was in November, Orci apparently confirmed to Trek Movie Report this week that it's still true.)
"From my point of view, it's a very long shoot, and things change. It's just whether we can figure it out," Orci said. He's been saying this for a long time, and I haven't found it entirely credible, but let's take him at his word. I know this is going to be presumptuous because it's their movie and I don't know what the movie's story is anyway, but at this point, maybe it's worth thinking this through.
Read on for more fireside-toddy divertissement ...
