Star Trek, Behind The Scenes

The film has earned considerable critical and financial success, grossing the most of any Star Trek film, even in inflation-adjusted dollars. The plaudits include the franchise's first Academy Award (for makeup). The film's major cast members are contracted for two sequels. Paramount is planning to release a sequel to the reboot on June 29, 2012.
Abrams was not the first to propose a reboot. An attempt was also made by J. Michael Straczynski and Bryce Zabel to reboot the franchise in 2004 (including crew of the original series), but Paramount ignored the proposal as they were not "even willing to talk about Star Trek".
