Cawley, who had a bit role in the Abrams prequel, wants to tell the story of how Kirk met Spock from the <em>Phase II<\/em> perspective. &#8220;We are honoring the <strong>J.J. Abrams <\/strong>movie,&#8221; said Cawley, &#8220;but this is a different look at what could have been.

But Cawley cautions fans that the story is &#8220;not just what people expect&#8221; and will not include time-travel.
