One would think (Hope?) that, given modern technology and the would-be budget, if they set the thing primarily on Earth, there would be greater global representation.
Given their love for World-Ending Peril, I do suspect an invasion movie to be likely, which having different locations around Earth makes sense.

It's all a bit cliché.
*Filmed in Canada.
It's a major studio film of the 2020s. It's going to be cliché.
Fair point.
That's what we've been discussing.
Escape from the Planet of the Star Trek Origins Begins: Rising: Zero: Episode I: Minus One: The Belkan War
With the tagline:
A Generation's Final Journey Begins Again in a New Beginning. Again.
Star Trek '09 was meant to be Star Trek Begins, right? It even said "prepare for the beginning" in the trailer.
Anyway, we're well and truly in boy who cried wolf territory with these announcements. I might pay it some interest once there are some leaked photos from location shooting.

I'm down with a movie set on Earth. Most human movies are set on Earth, and some of them are better than any Star Trek ever filmed.
Just don't make it about time police. For the love of the Universe Koala, please. Please.
Please.

Please.
For me, I will believe it when the end credits are rolling. And not a moment before.
I actually just got an idea in my head where Timefleet has to send Relativity to modern times for reasons of temporal relevance. The crew then replicate equipment and clothing that of course matches that of companies which have endorsement deals with Paramount because blatantly obvious product placement is TIGHT! Now all we need is a scene set a control center on Relativity where the crew monitor media on Earth like TV, radio, internet, whatever, with particular emphasis on the singer signed on to do the movie's promotional pop song.
I wonder if it's not too late for me to become a Hollywood executive?
So you got a new Star Trek movie for me? Yes sir, I do!
"Star Trek Begins"
"Didn't we do that in 2009?"
"No, no, before that."
"The Enterprise series from 2001?"
"No, before that too."
"You mean First Contact, that movie with the Next Generation crew?"
"No, even before that. Modern day, to be exact."
"We aren't flying in space meeting aliens in modern times."
"I know. This will be entirely set on Earth."
"Then how is that even Star Trek?"
"Hey, shut up."
I was trying to figure out a good "Hey, shut up" gag. Well done. I guess it was actually super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Not sure that gonna get to the stars.
