The newest Star Trek movie is supposed to be just that, 'Star Trek'. No roman numerals, no colons, just Star Trek. It is also apparently not a prequel as rumours have suggested or a sequel but a reimagining of the franchise.
Alex Kurtzman and
Roberto Orci, the two screen writers of the newest Trek flick have also stated that this installation will have a larger budget than any of the previous Trek movies, and that Paramount gave them 'no stipulations and no limits'. There will be significantly more action scenes, and that is about all they are willing to reveal so far, other than the story will revolve around a starship, and the technobabble will also remain.

As to the rumours about the cast, Kurtzman did admit that he is a huge Matt Damon fan, and it would be great if he portrayed Kirk.
Kurtzman, Orci, and director/producer J.J. Abrams all worked together previously on Lost which Abrams created, and Mission Impossible III which Abrams directed and Kurtzman and Orci wrote.
