Star Trek question?

My extremely obscure, nerdy question about Star Trek

• Is there any connection between the Nemesis movie script described in the movie Trekkies and the last ST:TNG movie, Star Trek: Nemesis? This may be a complete coincidence, but I can't find any information online about this, and I've been curious about it ever since the Nemesis movie came out. In the 1997 documentary http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120370/, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabriel_K%C3%B6erner describes a movie script his local Star Trek club has been working on. He (adorably) presents to the camera some very impressive visual effects he created of a star station, a Romulan Armada, and a trailer logo. The name of the movie? StarStation Nemesis. In 2002, a new Star Trek film was released, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0253754/. This film was, up until then, the only movie in the Star Trek franchise prominently featuring Romulans as the Big Bad. The name and the subject matter just seem too... coincidental for me. I've always wondered if there was some connection. But based on my Google-fu, it looks like I may be the only one wondering this? I can't find any information at all. I know that Star Trek had an open script policy, and I would imagine that if the group had completed their script, they would have submitted it in time to be considered for a 2002 movie release. I just wonder, what are the chances that the two are related? What would be the chance that a scriptwriter in Hollywood somewhere read their submission, and used it as inspiration somehow for the movie script? Part of the problem is that, other than Romulans and a space station, I have no clue what their club script is about, so I can't actually compare the story lines.

• Answer:

  Interesting connection. But I don't think any has ever been acknowledged. Some other influences are described in the terrible script by John Logan, who writes stage directions like "Shinzon's REMAN WARRIORS are sinister children of the night. It's like something from a Tim Burton movie!" and "Riker's in a hallway that's like something out of ALIENS."
