There's a lot of Star Trek movie info here, I just thought I'd share a little bit of it:
Why a TOS film instead of another TNG film? (or even a new cast and crew)
The short answer is this is the story that Abrams (and his writers) want to tell.
Clearly Paramount had lost faith in Rick Berman and the rest of the Trek team (and possibly casts) and they have quite a lot of faith in Abrams. In addition Abram’s deal with Paramount gives him an unprecedented amount of creative control, including final cut. It is important to note that after the failures of both Star Trek Enterprise and Star Trek Nemesis the franchise was essentially dormant until JJ Abrams made it clear to Paramount that if they wanted him, he wanted Trek. Even though it may be Abrams idea, Paramount probably see it as a ‘get back to basics’ origin story along the lines of Warner’s Batman Begins, MGM’s Bond ‘restart’ Casino Royale and Fox’s 3 Star Wars prequels.
