AICN posted plot rumors for director/producer J.J. Abrams upcoming Star Trek movie. Beware of spoilers.
According to "Moriaty", the film may involve Romulans going back in time to kill off James T. Kirk and change history. The older Spock, played by Leonard Nimoy, goes back in time too and does what he can to fix the timeline.
"Picture an incident that throws a group of Romulans back in time." wrote "Moriaty" "Picture that group of Romulans figuring out where they are in the timeline, then deciding to take advantage of the accident to kill someone's father, to erase them from the timeline before they exist, thereby changing all of the TREK universe as a result. Who would you erase? Whose erasure would leave the biggest hole in the TREK universe is the question you should be asking." The answer : James T. Kirk, according to the site.
"Moriarty" says Leonard Nimoy is the star of the movie. A lot of this movie is about Spock. Nimoy-aged Spock, mind you.
According to AICN "the plan is to use this second timeline as a way of rebooting without erasing or ignoring canon. These new voyages of the ENTERPRISE, they're taking place in whatever timeline starts with this story."
"Moriaty" then explains that the movie is a reboot in this new alternative timeline, saying "You can introduce these Universe2 versions of classic TREK events and characters, and you can play with the audience's expectation. Things have changed. Some things play out the way you expect... some don't. It's basically the same solution Marvel Comics has in terms of publishing, the way they use their ULTIMATES line to reboot continuity."
This information is preliminary, of course, and entirely rumor.
