Quoted from taz:

Not possible. (a) Williams vs Stern; (b) A large canon of STTNG material, meanwhile the current Star Trek reboot movies seem to rarely leave our solar system; (c) Alien adversaries thus far include Romulans from the future and possibly a brief encounter with Klingons in the new movie; (d) STTNG exceeds any Stern ever produced to date. Etc.

There was even an article on Yahoo this morning discussing how studio exec's (and even Abrams) have sought out ways to make the film appeal to an international audience:

"I guess less Trekkie, more action might be the short story," Paramount's head of international distribution Anthony Marcoly told TheWrap Tuesday.

You can read the article here:

To me, it's making the reboot more generic action movie (Die Hard on the Enterprise) and less Star Trek, which I think is a shame.

That being said, I think there is a good chance the pin still ends up being a blast to play.
