MTV posted a new interview with Star Trek writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman in which they answer 5 questions regarding the new movie plot. Here are excerpts.
MTV: Out of the entire universe, how do Elder Spock and Kirk happen to get stranded on the same planet? Are we expected to believe it's just a coincidence?
Orci: Why was Spock put on that planet by Nero? Because of its proximity to Vulcan. And where was the Enterprise leaving when they decided to kick Kirk off the ship? Then it's not a coincidence, is it? Their proximity to that moon is very much by the plot.
Kurtzman: One of the things we're playing to is the theme of destiny ... the idea that it wasn't actually random chance. It seems like random chance if you run into Spock in that cave, but it wasn't. And in some way, the time stream is trying to mend itself.
MTV: And how about Scotty? Is it a coincidence that he happens to be on that moon as well?
Kurtzman: It goes back to the idea that the time stream is trying to mend itself. These characters are essentially destined to find each other in one way or another - and that fate is literally bringing them together.
Orci: If you read about quantum mechanics, you would have a further understanding of how there's a mathematical basis for destiny.
MTV: Doesn't Elder Spock know how Captain Kirk dies in the "Generations" movie? Shouldn't he warn young Kirk to stay away from Dr. Tolian Soran?
Kurtzman: No, because remember - it's an alternate timeline now. So this future is totally different. There's no need to mention it; there's no boulder [fall] to warn him about.
