JJ Abrams is back from
vacation and beginning prep on
Star Trek 2. He’s currently working with writers
Roberto Orci,
Alex Kurtzman and
Damon Lindelof on the script that will re-team him with the Enterprise crew.
Shooting is slated to begin in January which means there’s no way the film will be ready
in time for the June 29th, 2012 release date that
Paramount had scheduled for it. You just can’t
rush a movie like this. But you CAN rush
GI Joe 2: Retaliation, which will take
Trek’s June spot. It’s now believed that
Star Trek 2 will hit theaters in late 2012 or the summer of 2013. That’s ample time to work on your Klingon
costume for opening night. (
