Abrams is a fine filmmaker, in whatever capacity he places himself in. But this sow's ear could be placed in Michael Mann's hands, and it still wouldn't come out anything like a silk purse.
If Paramount is dead-set on relying on existing characters and going where scads of novelists and fans have gone before, there's more fertile ground to explore. Bridge the gap between the original series movies and TNG - Captain Sulu and the Excelsior would be the familiar bases.
