Hardcore Nerdity posted a podcast featuring a new interview with Star Trek writers and authors Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens. Here is an excerpt, cortesy of TrekMovie.
Asked about their opinion on J.J. Abrams Star Trek prequel, they said :
Judith Reeves-Stevens: Trek was unusual because it could match its timing. And that's why we're all looking forward to the new movie because we want to see what Orci & Kurtzman are going to do with JJ Abrams to catch this time.
Garfield Reeves-Stevens: I think that it's probably the correct decision to go back to the beginning. And not so much re-imagine or reboot or anything but simply to... it's like Star Trek Remastered. You know, those special effects shots, they don't hold up in high-def, so let's bring a new audience into it. ... There's a third generation of Star Trek fans and I think JJ is gonna be the one that reaches them.
The Reeves-Stevens also co-wrote last year (with William Shatner) a prequel novel featuring the first meeting of young Kirk and Spock at Starfleet Academy, titled Star Trek The Academy Collision Course.

I think that is exactly what the new Star Trek film is going to be: a 2260's look and feel that can more beliveably evolve into the look that we saw in The Motion Picture. As old as that film and its successors are, their production design still holds up today.
J.J.'s Star Trek is stylistically going to make that 18-month period between the last 5 year mission and the The Motion Picture look more like a gap than the canyon that it currenty is.
