The latest issue of Star Trek Magazine, just out in the UK and the US, features a brief interview with Star Trek XI producer/director J.J. Abrams, in which he tells the magazine that "James T. Kirk appears in the movie."

Aside from the various rumors that the movie is indeed a TOS reimagining featuring younger versions of Kirk and Spock, this is actually the first time that Abrams or anyone from the production has officially disclosed any plot detail about the film.

"The respect we all have for Star Trek canon - and for a brand-new audience - is massive." Abrams told the magazine "The script is done. We’re now starting pre-prep, and we can’t wait to start shooting! Many more details to follow!"

The original report can be found at Trek Movie Report.
