Star Trek XII Rumors

There have been a bunch of new rumors for the new film that Abrams will be producing -- most likely -- and possibly directing -- less likely -- but we'll see. At this point most of the rumors are focusing on the development of the story.

And here's what we have learned so far.

There is life for William Shatner in Star Trek XII though the talks are only preliminary, it seems like Abrams would like to find a role for the original captain in the sequel.

Though it seems like there will not be role for Leonard Nimoy.

Also, there is some talk among the writers about developing some of the secondary characters like Uhura and Chekov though who knows what will come of it.

And we are hearing a lot less of the idea that Khan will make another big screen appearance which I think is a great thing. Khan was fantastic, but come on, let's tell some new stories.

So, that's where we are with some of the Star Trek XII (though some are calling it Star Trek II?) rumors. More to come soon.
