Two months before JJ Abrams’ Star Trek reboot hit cinema screens, Paramount Pictures knew it had a good thing on its hands – on 30 March 2009, the studio hired ST writing team Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof to start work on the script for Star Trek 2.
The writers were understandably cautious about talking up the sequel, though, especially considering Star Trek hadn’t even been released yet. Talking to Variety, Kurtzman said:
“Obviously we discussed ideas, but we are waiting to see how audiences respond next month. With a franchise rebirth, the first movie has to be about origin. But with a second, you have the opportunity to explore incredibly exciting things. We’ll be ambitious about what we’ll do.”

Everyone, follow Damon Lindelof on Twitter. No, I am not his publicist. But the guy is really funny. Also, excited as hell for TF mag’s STiD cover.

I think this movie will make double what the first film did.

Peter Weller has been in Star Trek before. In Enterprise he headed up a xenophobic terrorist group called Terra Nova. This film could be a continuation of that. Also, in the 2009 Star Trek, Kirk's brother (who is in the deleted scene, as well as at the side of the road hitchhiking as a young Kirk speeds by in his step-dad's vintage car) is called 'Johnnie'. He appears to be running away as he cannot bare to live under his dad's roof. Maybe a tough time has made him a bitter, evil adult, who envies his brother's success... Maybe John Harrison is Kirk's brother... (Sure, the accents are different, but if he ran away and grew up in good ole blighty, over time his accent could change). It's just a theory, and who knows, maybe he is Khan, or Gary Mitchel (as Karl Urban suggested accidentally during Dredd's press junkets).
