Script for Trek XI?

[Rarewolf]

They've kept everything about this production very under wraps. With Nemesis, the screenplay was all over the web months before its release..

Wasn't it out there before they even started shooting?

Well I got the opening scene for you.

Exterior: USS Kelvin flying by at warp.

Interior: Kelvin's bridge. Officers at their stations. Captain Robau in the command chair, in the middle of telling a story.

Robau: "...and I told the man painting the registry to the ship that I am the Badass Captain Robau, and if I want my ship to have a four digit registry, it shall. Now paint me a zero. And he did."
Engineer: "But why does the ship only have one nacelle?"
Robau: "The second nacelle would have been installed the following Tuesday. But I am the Badass Captain Robau, and if I want to fly a ship with only one nacelle, then I will. So I launched the ship on Thursday instead. Badass."

A new officer walks out of the turbolift and onto the bridge.

Robau: "Ah, our new XO. Commander...?"
Officer: "Kirk, sir. Commander George Kirk."

Tactical station beeps.

Robau: "Report."
Tactical officer: "Detecting something approaching us. I think it's a ship."
Robau: "You think? On screen."

Exterior shot. Space Octopus flies up behind Kelvin.

Interiror Kelvin bridge.
Captain Robau: "Holy shit!"

Interior Space Octopus bridge. Nero sits in his command throne, holding staff.
Nero: "Kill everything on that ship. Then set a course for Earth."

I found some more of that scene:

Exterior Octopus ship attacks Kelvin. Beams of energy rip the hull apart.

Interior Kelvin Bridge. Chaos. Panels exploding.
Captain Robau: "What happen?"

Engineer: "Somebody set up us the bomb."

Kirk: "We get signal."

Captain Robau: "What? Main screen turn on."

Nero: "How are you gentlemen!! All your base are belong to us. You are on the way to destruction."

Captain Robau: "What you say?!"

Nero: "You have no chance to survive make your time. Ha ha ha ha...."

Kirk: "Captain!!"

The lack of total information about the film floating around is refreshing to me.

As strange as it sounds, I'm not entirely sure that that line isn't an uncredited revision made by John Logan.
