Topic: I'm having a hard time buying into this
Personally I find all of this hard to swallow for a number of reasons:

1. Setting the movie in 2010 means that it will render itself irrelevant in a few years. Even if production started today, I don't think you could get this movie out before 2007 at the earliest; basing it on events that are supposed to happen in a couple of years is a very risky proposition, creatively speaking.

2. Leonard Nimoy is pretty much retired from the movie business and I doubt he would attach himself to a project (Trek or otherwise) unless he really believed in it. Remember, he did have the good taste to decline to be involved in Generations (if only Shatner had done the same).

3. The plot sounds like a cross between The Voyage Home and First Contact, the last two really successful Trek movies. You'd think that Paramount would have learned by now that ripping off ideas from previously successful movies does not necessarily guarantee a hit (just look at Nemesis, a Wrath of Khan wannabe if there ever was one).

If these rumors are true, then this is the stupidest idea I've heard yet for a Trek movie. It sounds like Nemesis all over again: let's see what Trek movies did well at the box office and use those plot devices in a new movie with a new cast; nobody will ever notice. Yeah, right. What's that classic line: Those who do not learn from history's mistakes are doomed to repeat them.
