New movie late, but full of new merchandise

Various Hollywood news sources, handily filtered through the ever informative TrekMovie.com, are reporting the new Star Trek movie has been moved from it's Christmas day release all the way to the 8th of May 2009! Basically because it might make more money then and the writers strike has made all the studios rejig their release dates. Find out more, here.

Meanwhile, TrekMovie also reports on the plethora of tie-in stuff being made for the new movie. In addition to what we already knew (Playmates Toys, Master Replica props and such, a comic book adaptation from IDW and probably novelisation from Pocket Books) there will also be a board game, various collectibles such as collectable cards and Christmas tree decorations, T-shirts and fast food promotions!
