From Section31.com:
The following piece appeared in today's British tabloid "The Sun". The paper can be characterized as unreliable, but the piece is interesting nonetheless:
'Brit actor Patrick Stewart is so determined that the next Star Trek Movie will be his last he has written the script of Captain Jean Luc Picard's death. Patrick, 60 - who has played the space commander since taking over from William Shatner in 1987 refuses to say how the hero Star logs off. But the plot is believed to involve a deadly enemy...and fellow Brit Alan Rickman has been lined up for the part. Patrick said "With the movie I have very strong feelings that it should be the last for the Next Generation, at least the last for Jean-Luc Picard. "We have at the moment a 28-page storyline, which sounds really exciting."
(Sub Heading) CLONING "I have Written an ending for Picard in which we finally kill him off and producers are looking over it now. All I can say is that this film will deal with a supreme and hopefully memorable villain. There's some cloning involved, and enemy Romulans But I will say no more." The death scene is one of a number being considered by Executive Producer Rick Berman. But he HAS agreed that Picard must die. Star Trek has already disappeared from TV. The last series of The Next Generation was filmed two years ago and producers say they have no plans for another. Shooting for the movie, Star Trek 10, is due to start in the Autumn. It should hit cinemas in Spring 2002.'

I'm just copy/pasting this, and I thought this part was reason enough not flame me about mistakes I made in my 'Hey look what facts I found here' days...
Nowadays I post these things in a more 'Do with this as you wish' way. Just putting it here and see what happens. But I'll try to remember to add a warning next time.

Nimrod: Here's a hint... If you don't want to read about ST10, don't read a thread whose title specifically says it's "about Trex X"...

I get so sick of people bitching about, and overreacting to spoliers. The topic says "...about Trek X???" a common sense would tell you that there'd be spoliers without $'s.
*Whew* Now that I got that out...

No, it said "Stewart on Trek X". I sure as hell didn't expect HIM to let out that kind of a spoiler! Notice that I haven't participated in any other of the recent "obvious" ST:X-threads!

Also, as had been pointed out, the Sun (newspaper) is about as reliable as the stiching on Simon's trousers.
It's almost certainly 100% bollocks.

Well, obviously. Since when did we take rumors from Flight Attendants, particularily named Patrick, with anything but a grain of salt?
