As we know, “Band of Brothers” scribe Erik Jendresen has done a deal with Paramount to write an eleventh Star Trek film which for the first time in history which will feature a whole new cast to be introduced on the big screen.
I wasn’t reponding to the date you said, which was clear enough, but the article linkled above where the fella is quoted as saying “…We’re going 160-odd years before Kirk is born…” Which would be WELL before Enterprise even!
Classic Star Trek (with Kirk, Spock, et al) is supposed to be from 2265-2269.
Enterprise from 2151-2159, and Cochrane developed the first warp drive (Star Trek: First Contact) around 2063. It seems like the movie will be around 2100.
