My buddy Vic over at Screen Rant has caught a great break with new details on the newest Star Trek film from JJ Abrams. Below are a few goodies from his article. Swing by the above ink to grab the whole thing.

- The script was written with Leonard Nimoy in mind. Nimoy read the script and liked it. It seems he’s so pivotal to the story that they would have had a big problem if he hadn’t liked it.

- He also went on to say that he didn’t like the death of Kirk in Star Trek: Generations. He resented it. He then went on to say that it would have been damaging to the story to put Shatner in the film.

- Yes, the USS Enterprise will be assembled in space, although parts of it will be assembled on Earth.

- The intent was to re-invent the Star Trek franchise, and that is why they went all the way back to start at the beginning.
