   The Movie's Star Trek. Period.   
      
   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 rumored.   
   "I'm the hugest Matt Damon fan ever," Kurtzman told the site. "If he   
   became [Kirk], great."   
      
   Paramount has given a green light to Star Trek, with Lost co-creator   
   J.J. Abrams directing, with an eye to a Christmas 2008 release.   
      
   As for the title, Orci said: It's Star Trek. "That's the intended   
   title," he said. "I don't think we want to put any colons or anything   
   on it."   
      
   The writers wouldn't discuss details of the story, other than to say   
   it is a reimagining of the franchise that will remain true to its   
   history, but aim for the broadest audience possible. Kurtzman   
   promised: "There will be more action in this movie than any Trek   
   that's preceded it."   
      
   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 for that.   
   There, you got something out of us!"
