This is what nobody is expecting. There’s a crawl and it basically says, ‘Years have passed. Many, many, many years. So many years, that everybody’s old and gray.’ I’m not telling you anything about that.”

J.J. Abrams spoke about the sequel to Star Trek XI at the DVD/Blu-ray launch party several days ago, answering questions about his availability for the movie as well as questions regarding whether a familiar Star Trek villain would be part of the story.
