Three Abrams Star Trek Prequels Coming?

Simon Pegg seems to have confirmed that J.J. Abrams Star Trek prequel slash reboot will consist of multiple films, three may be the plan. Since trilogies are popular these days and Paramount didn’t invest all that money in the project just to get a one shot movie and make J.J. Abrams feel good, it’s pretty much inevitable. I’m not too sure how I feel about a prequel involving the same characters with a new cast. It doesn’t really work for me since again I don’t think Shatner, Nimoy and Doohan can be replaced with these particular roles and developing a new starship crew might have been a better way to go. Too many franchises are milking their own backstory until there’s nothing else left, something both Star Wars and Star Trek are guilty of. But considering ST XI’s huge budget, forget the odd numbered curse, this movie will have an uphill battle even breaking even.
