JJ Abrams's Super 8 will be released on June 10, 2011 and it is expected that he will announce his intent to direct Star Trek sequel after the movie is released. Paramount was shooting for a June 29, 2012 release date for Star Trek leaving Abrams just 13 months to get the movie made and released. Deadline is reporting that Paramount may push it's intended release date back for the film to sometime in the holiday season of 2012.
Reports Deadline:
Paramount isn't confirming any of this, but I'm told that there soon should be good news and bad news on the Star Trek sequel front. The good news: With his film Super 8 set for release June 10, JJ Abrams is expected to announce shortly his return as director of Star Trek 2. The bad news: Even moving at warp speed, Abrams will be hard pressed to make the June 29, 2012 release date that the studio set for the film. I'm told that the move being considered right now is to push Trek back for a Holiday 2012 release.
Nothing official has been said but it looks like we may not see our friends on the USS Enterprise until Christmas of next year.
