According to the LA Times 6/24/90:

"Harve Bennett won't be at the controls of Star Trek VI"

"Bennett's script for "VI, The First Adventure" was set at the academy where
Kirk & Co. first get together. Gene Roddenberry and others were nervious about
the premise"

"After waiting the better part of a year" for a status report on the script,
Bennett finally got the bad news. He then decided to leave producing chores to
others..."

"Paramount, meanwhile, is scurrying to come up with a script, hoping to release
"VI" next summer-to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the series"

I hope they don't "scurry" too much and end up with a sloppy script/production.
It would be nice if they ended the movie series on a high note !!
