I think trying to bank on the celebrity of William Shatner by going back to when kirk and Spock first met at the academy. It may however draw a crowed with the the character of Spock being played by Zachary Quinto who plays[d] Sylar in Heroes. Even Eric Bana will be making an appearance as the villain and Leonard Nemoy the original Spock will be playing the old version of Spock.
Its interesting that there hasn't been much talk about this movie. Its been on the cards since 2003 but in terms of advertising its been negligible. There has been three teaser posters released since 2007 yet they have been quite minimalistic with the last giving the most information which is stardate 12.25.08 the date for release in the US.
The fact that it is a prequel is also a consideration where fans are questioning whether there will be continuity issues as there have been at other times. This is why William Shatner is not likely in the film. It was implied that the reason "Shatner does not have a role in the script is due to the events of Star Trek Generations, which featured the death of Captain Kirk, suggesting that at least part of the movie takes place after Kirk's disappearance from the USS Enterprise in 2293 or after the character's death in 2371."
