Amigori writes "Star Trek fans interested in some behind-the-scenes, business-oriented info about the new film should pick up today's Wall Street Journal or click here for the story, "Hollywood is Betting on Prequels for This Summer Blockbuster Season." While other titles are mentioned, "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," "Terminator Salvation," and "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra," the article is clearly focused on the Star Trek franchise.

"The new "Star Trek" movie, opening next month, boldly goes where no "Trek" film has gone before: back to the beginning. It's set in the decades before the start of the TV series, returning to the young adulthoods of space adventurers James T. Kirk and Spock and their first voyage on the Starship Enterprise.
Some of Hollywood's biggest franchises, including "X-Men" and "Terminator," are taking a similar back-to-the-future approach this summer. To refresh familiar film sagas and grab new audiences, studios are increasingly offering up stories that trace the early years of popular characters and tell epics from their beginnings.
