Because a fan film done for free is the same as a big budget motion picture the expects a profit
Kirk's nephew makes out with his BF for 10 minutes, then Tasha Yar becomes a Space Butterfly.
Robert Pattinson replaces Chris Pine as Kirk.

Pretend its still 1967?

^"Upgrade" the Enterprise to how it looked in the 1960's?

Could give a damn about that. So long as the stuff delivers, I don't care how much money was or was not spent. And a lot of the ones with the small budgets can often do better than the big, mega budgets.
Argh. Cue the calls of:^"Upgrade" the Enterprise to how it looked in the 1960's?
"Oh, no! Oh, no!
Looks too advanced!
Where are the
Jel-ly be-eans?"
(scored for male chorus and given the same sort of quasi-apocalyptic tone as 'O, Fortuna'.)Looks too advanced!

What's the worst that they could do? Fire J.J. Abrams and replace him with Michael Bay, Paul W.S. Anderson, Rob Cohen, or Stephen Sommers.
And Uwe Boll
Yeah, how could a Federation starship possibly manage to get from the ground to space?
Preposterous!
And God forbid the Enterprise was more than twice the size as the prime universe Enterprise.
Maybe they'll put her through a hot wash and tumble dry her to shrink her down.
=p
They could make it look exactly like a TOS episode. Same production values...which was great for it's time but now looks cheesey.
"Hey, you know what the story that needs re-interpreting more than any other? You know, that one where they go to find God..."
"You know, that's a GREAT idea, maybe we've just found the perfect role for Shatner to play in the new universe too..."

During a routine geological survey on Surata IV, Captain Kirk is accidentally struck by a sharp thorn growing on a vine plant. The away team immediately beams back to the U.S.S. Enterprise, where Doctor McCoy finds out that the thorn has released a deadly virus into Kirk's body. Within a matter of hours, the virus will reach Kirk's brain, killing him.
To try to save Kirk's life, McCoy puts him into a machine that will artificially stimulate his brain neurons, keeping them active and resisting the virus. This causes Kirk to dream of his past adventures aboard the Enterprise.
Then, to save money, the rest of the film is just clips of the first film, with new footage added to show McCoy and crew worried about Kirk, and then, a few minutes at the end, when Kirk recovers.
Or, the second movie could start with the Starfleet brass waking up the morning after the end of Star Trek, complaining of the hangover Romulan Ale gives you.
Admiral Richard Barnett: "Damn, I was wasted yesterday celebrating the fact that Earth wasn't turned into a black hole. I dreamed we promoted a cadet straight to captain and gave him one of our newest ships. A ship, that, coincidentally, is one of the only ones functioning since the others we sent to Vulcan were destroyed. How wasted was I?"
Commodore Christoper Pike: "Uh, sir, that was no dream..."
Cut to Enterprise to see Kirk dancing a la Tom Cruise in Risky Business through the corridors of the ship.
Captain James Kirk: "Suckers!"

Commadore Pike: "Admiral, aren't you forgetting about the rest of the fleet that the Enterprise was racing to meet when Spock and Kirk had their argument?"
Admiral: "Oh, yes, you're right, I am a forgetful person...wait, how did you see into my dream?"
Commadore: "errrr....I'm part Betazoid..."
Admiral. "No you're not...."
Commadore: "Oh, is that the time, I need to beam home, see ya!"
