‘Star Trek’ Franchise Reboot: Simon Kinberg Eyed for Paramount Movie
So now this just sounds like a Trek prequel, not specifically a Kelvin prequel.

The specific point of divergence was shown in Star Trek 2009, otherwise it’s a real reboot and offside the television franchise.
@StillPaisleyCat I can’t decide how to feel about it. I don’t have much interest in a full-blown reboot. Nor am I much interested in seeing how this film might crap all over ENT. I guess we’ll see. Or maybe we won’t, considering Paramount’s track record of late with getting Trek films off the ground. @startrek
I never pass up on an opportunity to share Simon Pegg’s thoughts on the matter - he wrote one of the films, so I think his opinion should carry some weight:
Ok, I can buy that, but it means that it created a true parallel universe and not a branch in the Prime timeline.
This could be viewed as consistent with the Kelvin universe 24th century officer not being able to survive in the 32nd century Prime Universe.
Yeah, my simplified headcanon explanation is that the Kelvin universe was always there, and Spock and Nero happened to tunnel into it.
If you want to add the wrinkle that the red matter implosion somehow created it (which the original film seems to suggest)…well, it’s more complicated, but it works, too.
