Harry over at Ain’t it Cool News says JJ Abrams told him in a message the rumor is false when he pointed out to him the Latino Review article.

Harry Knowles just debunked this rumor with one short and sweet quote from JJ.

Doggone it. I was really hoping this was true….leading to the triumphant return of Rick Berman.

I heard that. Who said, “Phasers on liquify?”

IGN also debunked the rumor. Thank you for posting as well. I’m sure message boards will be ablaze before fans find out the truth.

Also, your site is great and I can’t wait until production gets rolling. I’m sure your updates will be spectacular.

Last I heard, Harve Bennett wants in on the project. After all, they are using some of his ideas. That’s the holdup on announcing any of the details.

I have updated the article with the IGN thing…i have now talked to multiple people around the production who confirm it is total BS.

it is like the old adage, a lie goes around the world before the truth has time to put its pants on

RE: Bennett
no not on project, no not using his ideas, no not holdup on announcing details

Internet rumors. Fascinating.

lo que no se porque una web como trekmovie se hace eco de este tipo de rumores, yo alucino.

es mejor ni publicarlos.:(

Oh,What a relief (just a rumor).Now JJ can go forward with his big Star Trek musical

andoriano,

to answer your question, when we first heard the rumor we looked into it and werent going to report it until confirmed. However once other sites reported the rumor it became news so we reported what we had learned. Lots of folks come to this site to see whats up and if there is a rumor out there we always look into it, just like when we debunked the Tom Cruise rumor. Plus the peopl close to the movie and Abrams wanted to be sure we (and other sites) got the truth out there to counter the false stories. If we reported nothing after the rumor comes out, some might believe the rumor

Come on it’s rumors posted on the internet, it must be true!!

Hahahahahahaha!

What’s curious about the rumor is the timing, that’s why people were apt to believe it. But I’m of the school of thought that until they start actually shooting the movie, I’m not assuming anything whatsoever.

Stranger things have happened. The way Paramount has handled this franchise over the last decade plus has been so bad that the idea of a really good Trek movie is shocking. That’s why these news reports seem too good to be true.

Funny how it’s going to be 12 years between excellent Trek movies…….

I want Abrams’ Trek NOW.

For the love of humanity I’m only 30 and believe I experienced a coronary when I read this yesterday. Paramount better not F us.

At first I believed the rumour because maybe Paramount was jittery about Abrams bonehead notion to have old Kirk meet young Kirk. Funny how even a brilliant film-maker like Abrams can have a brainfart once in a while. How are we supposed to suspend disbelief and bond with the new Kirk if the Shat (in his hammy fashion) is mugging for the camera in the very same scene? If anyone but Abrams had pitched this idea he would have been laughed out of the room! That premise is asking WAY too much of any audience, be they either fanatic or general audience. A GREAT script should take precedent over any notion of seeing Shatner one more time!

Okay, JJ you’ve had your fun spreading that rumor, time to get back to work getting the script written.
