   >>>>> 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!"

   >>>> Logically, the best choice for Spock is someone that Matt Damon has
