‘Star Trek 2’ Dropping In May of 2013. In 3D. Vulcan Grip My Loins!
I’ve been feigning for the Star Trek Lens Flare Extravaganza to get a sequel for a while now, and while I continue to wait I at least know when it shall end. In May of 2013. With Michael Giacchino scoring it. Hell yeah!
Here’s the first reliable news we’ve had in some time on the sequel to Paramount’s 2009 Star Trek. Studios have been doing some release date shifting today and with Sonypushing Roland Emmerich’s delayed Singularity back to November 2013, Paramount has moved to grab the vacated May 17 2013 date for Star Trek 2.
So the movie that J.J. Abrams will direct based on a script by Abrams, Damon Lindelof, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci will be in prime tentpole position for the summer season in 2013. And the report is that the film will be made in 3D, though we’ve got no other real info on that point just yet. Just imagine all the lens flare with an added visual dimension!

In addition to Deadline‘s release date scoop. ComingSoon talked to film composer Michael Ciacchino, who said “yes, I’ll be back,” when asked about scoring Trek 2. “I’ll be there just as soon as they finish it,” he said.
We don’t know exactly when that will be, but the May 2013 release date gives us some timeline. We’ve heard that the film will start to shoot on January 15 2012, but that hasn’t been confirmed. (An email to Paramount went unanswered, which is notable, since the studio would normally fire right back if they had an outright denial to offer.)
Can’t wait.
