Beaks here...
While plot details are being kept completely under wraps (though there is rampant speculation by me that Benicio Del Toro has been cast as the leader of the Gorn), Deadline has learned that J.J. Abrams's second STAR TREK film will be released on May 17th, 2013. It will also be shot in 3D.
STAR TREK 2 is taking the weekend initially claimed by Roland Emmerich's SINGULARITY, which recently delayed its production start date to accomodate script revisions by Mr. Technological Singularity himself, Raymond Kurzweil. The May 17th, 2013 release will give STAR TREK a two-week separation from IRON MAN 3, which is currently set for May 3rd. It's a long wait, but I'm glad Abrams and co-writers Damon Lindelof, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci didn't rush their script into production.
