Damon has said, in an interview on ign.com, that he was "too old" to play the role and that it was nothing but an "internet rumor" and that he was not approached by anyone to be involved with the film.

The Internet has been abuzz with other rumors as well.For example, it's been rumored that Leonard Nimoy or Zachary Quinto will play the role of Spock. Also sumored: the movie will be a prequel to the original TV show. According to IMDb, the movie is going to be "set before 'The Original Series' [when] Kirk and Spock are newly graduated Cadets fresh from Starfleet Academy and are sent on their first space mission."
