Trek Movie has an update on Star Trek 3, the follow-up to J.J. Abrams' Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness. This instalment will see former writer Roberto Orci (The Amazing Spider-Man 2) step into the director's chair. According to the site, the first draft of the script has been completed and pre-production has already begun with, "'pre-vis,' early effects tests, set and wardrobe design and even some casting discussions for new characters." It has yet to be given an official green light however. As for when the threequel will likely begin shooting, they add that it will start production in mid-February 2015 as Paramount Pictures are eyeing Summer 2016 (which also happens to be the 50th anniversary of the franchise) release dates with an announcement expected soon. As for those story details we promised you, they go on to add that it will be set "well into" the five year mission that Captain Kirk and his crew set out on at the conclusion of the previous film. Also, don't expect to see Earth in this one! Are you guys looking forward to Star Trek 3?
