To believe that is not being a revolutionary but a fantasist.
I'd let him narrate the closing monolog of last film in the JJ trilogy. But nothing else.
Hm, I think a re-reboot is more likely than a trilogy of Abramstrek, but that's just a hunch. I don't think that they can keep the entire cast complete up to 2016, and Abrams/Orci/Kurtzman/Lindelof will certainly scatter on other projects.
What Paramount learned with Star Trek 2009 is that people love Kirk and Spock and will pay lots of money to see them in movies that kick ass.
Movie studios pay a lot more attention over time to what they learn from stuff that makes them money than stuff that doesn't.
Kirk and Spock vs giant robots and directed by Michael Bay would have made them even more. Each of the Transformers movies has made over double what Trek did.
You don't think that's really Chris Pine's job now?
He still gets to do it in the gag reel
If the third movie is to be the JJ cast's swansong, having Shatner deliver it might be fun, and give a sense of full circle closure. But I really don't feel a personal need for Shatner to be anywhere near these films.
I think everyone's contracts have clauses to kickstart successful sequel negotiations. Unless ST XII bombs, I fully expect them all to be around for ST XIII.
The "X-Men" movies managed a trilogy, despite the quickly-rising stars of Hugh Jackman and Halle Berry between movies I and II, and II and III.
Am I not right in thinking that Generations was supposed to be the swansong of Kirk and Co. It is an interesting premise for the franchise, but I doubt that the future scripts will take advantage of the new sand box that has been created.
Formulaic ideas when now, the AU side could be fully explored. I do not mean anything akin to the mirror universe, but something else big to change in the overal story.

Haha, yeah, they are soooo going to be in danger this time. They can destroy planets, but they certainly won't break up the crew, especially not in the second movie. Do you really think that anyone is going to die, leave, turn bad guy or anything like that?
True, there's no guarantee they're going to do anything too radical, but at least we don't already know everything that's going to happen to them for the next forty years: that Kirk is going to get killed by Soran in the Nexus, that Spock and Uhura will never get married, that Sulu will end up as Captain of the Excelsior, etc.
They've done an end run around the usual prequel problem that we already know what the characters' ultimate fates are.
Yeah. In typical ST style, Spock will marry Uhura. Simply because that is what would be expected. Chekov will become an Admiril and be the one to host the conference on the Praxis disaster. Sulu will leave at the end of the next movie. at least that is how I see it. If JJ tears up the Cannon, then perhaps ST can go to a new majical plane. If it sticks to Cannon just modified, it won't work. All this is just my personal opinion ofc.
Kirk wasn't killed by Soran in the Nexus. He was killed on Veridian III after leaving the Nexus.
And you've made that judgement on: precisely one issue of IDW's new comic series. I don't expect these tie-in comics to show too many differences because JJ's team doesn't want to spoil too much for their upcoming movie(s).
If JJ's team are committed only to a trilogy of films, highly likely!
