TrekWeb reports that writer Erik Jendresen (Band of Brothers) gave an update to Dreamwatch magazine about the prequel Star Trek: The Beginning. He says he has turned in the first draft of the script to Paramount Pictures.

"This would take place just a couple of years after the end of the events in 'Enterprise' but well before the original series, and it would look at the inciting incident that started everything," he said. "The story is big and epic, and it isn't as antiseptic as the television stories had to be."

Jendresen adds that "The Beginning" would also not be centered around the traditional "Star Trek" model of a captain, crew, and starship.

"We're looking at a very small group of men and women, particularly focusing on one character," he explains. "There are a couple of ships, including a principal ship, but this is not a traditional captain and crew of a starship story in the least."
