Also, to build on what Jason posted, the thinking from what I have gathered is that the "franchise" has gotten pretty bloated in the past decade with all the spin-off shows. I think it resulted in the public taking it for granted because it was on all the time.
The core things that made Trek what it is got quite diluted. (adventure, the core friendship of Kirk, Spock and McCoy, optimissim for the future of mankind, etc.) This film is getting back to basics, where Trek was at it's purist.
And it's speculation that if Nimoy/Spock is in this film, it must take place in the TNG era or that his participation is for bookending the film. None of these things are fact. All we know is that Nimoy/Spock plays a part of the plot.
A lot of fans want this film to undo Generations and bring back Kirk, I sure would! But that is wishful thinking, Abrams and the writers are doing what is right for a great film
