I'd think that would help them get it out faster, too. I'm sure that 40 mil was spent almost entirely on special effects.

With Abrams going off to do Star Wars, it's unlikely that he would even be available (let alone, interested) in another Star Trek film. So, if Paramount decides to move forward, you're looking at a new "team" of producers who would hire a writer, create a new story, then hire a director to realize that story, all with a substantially reduced budget.
Unless they already have someone in mind, you're talking at least a year's development and likely, two. Unless they rushed out another film (which I also find unlikely), you're probably looking at another 3-4 years before the next film would be ready for a theatrical run.
They hired one of the "best" directors in Hollywood, assembled a talented, charismatic cast, spent $190 million for these results?
Why even move forward?
