Hey, has anyone heard about this yet? Don't get your hopes up or anything but who knows, maybe it will go through eventually and there will finally be a new Trek show on the air.
Taken from the topic I made on the Star Trek board...

Amidst the excitement of Creation's 2011 Star Trek Las Vegas Convention, very cool things transpired, such as William Shatner filming a pilot for his new Reality Series called FAN ADDICTS. Why even the fans themselves took on breaking the Guinness Book of Records when they assembled the largest amount of people in costume to date. Some 1,040 attendees gathered in one place and can be seen here when they received word they had just broken the previous record.
Among these and many other exciting things, I accidentally bumped into Mr. David Foster of 1947 Entertainment. I recalled his name as someone who might be associated with a possible new Star Trek series. I probed him for a bit of information and he was gracious enough to answer a few questions on the topic.
[...]
Trevino: Star Trek has now been re-imagined via JJ Abrams well received vision of Gene Roddenberry's original series. Can you elaborate on whether your series will follow that same path?
Foster: Though Kevin and I did thoroughly enjoy Star Trek (2009), the vision that we have created is true to the "pre-2009 screen canon" (TV and movies). We were also careful with the Star Trek: Enterprise canon as well. Through the years, I have had the chance to get to know many of the original series cast, crew, and even some of the studio execs. I have developed an extremely deep passion for the original vision of Gene Roddenberry. And while Star Trek has moved on with other series that were not exactly in line with Gene's original vision, the roots are there to tap into.
Trevino: What is the time frame of your series?
Foster: The series is set in the post-Voyager era, and is designed to return Star Trek to its original series roots in big and mighty ways, without disregarding the other series and movies. As Star Trek (2009) was an alternate timeline, it will not conflict with any canon there either (Note: David does accept it as an "alternate canon", if you will). The co-creators are avid believers in Gene Roddenberry's 'positive view of the future' and intend to bring Star Trek back to its origins while moving forward with the timeline, integrating the best aspects of each of the previous series.
Trevino: What kind of show will it be?
Foster: The series is highly energized with a much younger cast, and uses cutting-edge future technologies with newly envisioned special effects and designs. It includes Klingons, Ferengi, Andorians, Vulcans, Trill, and many more. The Klingons are getting very restless since the Praxis incident forced them to come to the peace tables, and are tired of having to rely on the Federation for support. The Ferengi have discovered a vast new resource that has propelled them towards instant riches and power beyond anything they have previously experienced.
