No shit. I've been saying this for nearly two years now. Here's a thread of mine circa November 2001 saying basiclly the exact same thing:


"I want to see Paramount continue the prequel concept onto the silver screen...and produce Harve Bennett's original screenplay for Trek 6.

It was a movie about how Kirk, Spock, and the 30 year old McCoy met one another at "Starfleet Academy" (which would have also been the movie's title), and tells the story of their first adventure together.

Scotty, Uhura, Sulu, Chekov, Rand, and Chapel were of course NOT included in picture, but Carol Marcus and Gary Mitchell were. Bennett said that we would have seen the relationship between Kirk and Carol and the time Kirk re-programmed the Kobyashi Maru training simiulation, to name only a few of the story points.

He also said that the opening segment of the film would feature Kirk anxiously awaiting acceptance to the Academy while riding horses on the family farm in Iowa, the moment Spock and Sarek "blew up" at each other when Spock left for the Academy, and we'd see Dr. McCoy attending his father's funeral.

My pics for the lead roles: Jared Leto ("Fight Club", "American Psycho") as Kirk, Wes Bently ("American Beauty") as Spock and Christian Slater as Bones.

Harve Bennett would get story credit of course, but bring in Nick Meyer as screenwriter and director, Ralph Winter as producer, and Bill Shatner and Leonard Nimoy as Executive Producers (who would also probably contribute to the story...they're advice will be invaluble).

Dedicate the picture to DeForrest Kelly, market the hell out of it...and you've got the biggest hit since TVH. :)"
