Star Trek 12 Gets Release Date

[Buck]

I'm not sure if its Star Trek 12 or Star Trek 2, but the release date is June 29, 2012.

UPDATE: Paramount has confirmed to MTV that the projected release date for the "Star Trek" sequel is indeed June 29, 2012.

This counts as news, but there's not much to it. We all know there's a "Star Trek" sequel coming. Hell, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, writers/producers of the May reboot, were talking about sequel possibilities as far back as the week after the first movie came out. Now we have a date to pin our hopes to: June 29, 2012.

Nothing else is known or announced, so don't ask. Maybe director J.J. Abrams will return to helm the sequel, maybe he won't. Maybe Khan will be the villain, maybe not. For all we know, the plan is to give us an epic "Star Trek Meets Star Wars" crossover. Could happen, right?

The news comes from a variety of sources, including Ain't It Cool News and Box Office Mojo, but there's no Paramount-issued press release that I can find. The information ran through some trustworthy sources, but we've yet to receive comment from the studio directly.

Regardless, there really hasn't ever been any doubt that we'd be seeing more "Star Trek." Abrams' take on the series made it friendly to an entirely new, much wider audience than its ever known before.

Were you anything less than certain that a "Star Trek" sequel was coming eventually? Where would you like the story to go from where it is now? Any specific hopes for the sequel?

II, III and VI are the only ones worth buying, IMO.

So you defend this trash but now the highest-grossing Star Trek film of all time (IV) isn't worth buying?

We've had this conversation before. IV is entertaining, but it's not Star Trek. It's like the Star Trek cast vacationing in San Francisco being followed around by a film crew. There was no villain. There was no tension. There were no battles. There wasn't even an Enterprise until the last minute of the movie. Are you ****ing kidding me?

Even III, with it's wretched sets and planet FX and crappy Saavik and pussy-fest of David and Captain Esteban, had Kruge and ships getting blown up and a planetary explosion.

Well, we know what gets frazod drunk.

Star Trek IV is awesome, and anyone who says otherwise doesn't know shit about making movies or Star Trek.

Let me guess, you hated all those stupid TNG episodes where they went into the holodeck, too?

NO SHIPS BLOWING UP = WORTHLESS!

We're not talking about the series, spanky. But seriously, most of the episodes people remember as being the best, had battles in them. Sure, City on the Edge of Forever and Inner Light always rank highly, but those are the exceptions. The rule is Best of Both Worlds, Yesterday's Enterprise, Redemption, Doomsday Machine, Balance of Terror. Deep Space 9 sucked until it got dark and started focusing on battles with the Klingons and the Dominion.

When it comes to movies, you need more. I think you need to watch Plinkett's review of Phantom Menace, and pay special attention to the part where he explains the elements of a good science fiction movie.

I think you need to shut up with your dumbass opinions. Anyone suggesting "Into Shitness" is on par with VI needs their head examined.

You need to get over J.J. Abrams ****ing you up the ass that night and never returning your calls later.

Even Trouble with Tribbles had decent Crew vs Klingon hard fisted action....

Anyway, can't wait for the next Abrams Star Trek script, wherein the whale probe from STIV comes along, but Spock Prime goes to the shore and holds up his iPod and plays whalesong at it until it leaves.

Abrams should reboot Trek V next.

George Clooney as Sybok!

Star Trek Into Darkness is performing very poorly at the box office. It's $20 million under estimates this weekend and the numbers will continue to slip. It'll likely hit its budget of $190 million but I think the future will is murky. It's taken in less during its opening weekend than Star Trek in 2009. That is not a good sign.

Abrams has never been a Star Trek fan and he's off to the Star Wars universe, his true first love. Orci, Kurtzman and Lindelof haven't shown that they can create blockbuster movies on their own and Lindelof's quickly developing a "Franchise Killer" rep around town. Paramount will likely look to a completely different team if the decide to move forward.

Paramount was really upset with Abrams and the four year lag between films and the box office disappointment with the sequel will likely give them pause when considering another director, writer and most importantly, budget, if they decide to move forward in the Star Trek universe.

Right now, I don't think that's a given. Studios don't usually make movies, especially big budget summer blockbusters, with the intent to "break even".

I don't know how much money you have, but apparently your opinion of "very poorly" must differ from mine. It's made $84M for a four-day opening (which is only $2.7M less than the first film). It's fighting off "Iron Man 3" which opened a few weeks ago with the 2nd-highest opening ever. It's a sequel (and sequels always tend to make less). It was recently pushed to a Thursday opening which many people were probably not aware of. And it has a strong exit rating with moviegoers, which bodes well for continued solid performance.
