Next Star Trek movie coming in 2013!

Summer 2013 in fact.

So anyone following the progress of the next Star Trek movie will have probably been expecting this, but now Deadline and TrekMovie have confirmed the release date for the next Star Trek movie has been moved from the first announced date in June next year all the way to the 17th of May in 2013! As filming doesn't even start until January (although effects work is underway apparently) that was not an unexpected move; though there was perhaps some hopes for the delay only to be until christmas.

Also perhaps not so surprising, given it's the in thing; the next film will be released in 3D as well as 2D. 3D lens flares!!

In another confirmation of expectations, ComingSoon.net reports Michael Giacchino will be back to compose the score of the next film.

And the outcome of all this for me: I now have a 2013 schedule page with one thing listed on it!
