TrekMovie.com says that Star Trek producer/director J.J. Abrams talked to Star Trek Magazine and mentioned that “James T. Kirk appears in the movie.”
This marks the first time that Abrams or anyone from the production has 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 added. “The script is done. We’re now starting pre-prep, and we can’t wait to start shooting! Many more details to follow!”
Paramount Pictures is targeting a December 25, 2008 release for Star Trek.
