Fast forward to April 2011, and Orci revealed to Coming Soon that certain elements of the script were being created specifically to please the (famously opinionated) Trekkie fanbase:
“Everyone said [Kirk] is too young to become Captain… So maybe in the next movie, somebody goes, ‘Man, you sure became Captain young and fast.’ You start to incorporate people’s opinions…
“That comes from a fan reaction and maybe gives you a story point. [Fans] wanted more character time with everybody, and, because that was an origin story for Star Trek, everyone had to come in at a certain point. Now everyone is going to be there from the beginning, so they’re going to get that. Everyone sure hated engineering. They thought it looked like a brewery, which it was. I’ll pass that on to J.J. [Abrams] and see what he says.”

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).
