I know Many a trekky fan out there has had many a sleepless night, feeling very anxious to hear of news if any on the sequel to the last Star Trek film with Chris Pine, Keith Urban, Zach Quinto, Zoe Saldana...oh and Simon Pegg!
I have to say that when this was on the TV the other night my curiosity got the better of me and I sat and watched part of this as I do have to admit that it was a bit naf...but watchable naff I'd say.
Anyhew...Deadline Hollywood says that David Ellisons' Skydance is anticipated to co-finance this new project along with Paramount. So now it is very safe to say that JJ Abrams who was reportedly giving Paramount the run around with whether or not he'd commit to directing this follow up...but now he finally has committed to doing this and there is now a date that has been penciled in a release date for this looooong awaited movie.
This being...well in America Memorial Day Weekend, May 17th 2013. For this to happen Deadline also reports that Sony has moved one of it's upcoming projects around this being Roland Emerich's 'Singularity', which was going to be released on this date but lost out on this toussle and is now set to release this movie on November 1st 2013.
There is no title yet for this but JJ Abrams will co-write this film along with Damon Lindelof, Alex Kurtzman and Robert Orci. And you'll be pleased to hear Trekky fans that all cast members are returning: Chris Pine, Zoe Saldana and Zach Quinto.
All the writers of the film are going to produce this along with JJ Abrams Bad Robot production partner Bryan Burke.
But thinking about it Abrams was still working on Super 8 at the time so no wonder he wasn't committing to anything as well as this they did originally want to release the new Star Trek film on June 29th 2012...there was fat chance this was going to get made...but dare I say this but this release date has been given to GI Joe:Retribution...Why! Say it isn't so!
