   >>>> Alex Kurtzman and Robert Orci, who are writing the 11th Star Trek   
   >>>> movie, revealed a few key points about the top-secret script in an   
   >>>> interview with MTV.com. Among the revelations: The movie will be   
   >>>> titled, simply, Star Trek; it will take place aboard a starship;   
   >>>> and they're OK with Matt Damon playing Capt. James T. Kirk.   
   >>>>   
   >>>> Not that the writers confirmed that Damon had been cast, as

   >>>> Orci added: "I don't know how you make Star Trek without a   
   >>>> starship. You have to trek through the stars, so you need a ship
