Dammit Jim! Star Trek pushed back to 2009

By Mike on February 14, 2008

Scotty, we can’t take much more of this.

According to reports from ComingSoon.net, the new Star Trek sequel from J.J. Abrams has been pushed WAY back to May 8th, 2009.

It was originally scheduled for a December 25th release this year, but now we have five more months to see where Abrams takes the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise.

For us cadets, this means extended shore leave.

The article mentions the move as part of a major reshuffling of the Paramount release calendar, along with DreamWorks.

Insiders tell Coming Soon that the film has a lot more potential to bring in huge bucks if released in May instead of December. Currently that May 8th release date has no competition.

We probably can expect this to happen with some other films since the Writer’s Strike has thrown off a few movie schedules I’m sure and studios will want to balance out their earnings in the coming year or two.

So this basically means we saw the teaser for this film a good year and four months before we ever see the movie.

I for one am bummed at one of the most anticipated movies of 2008 suddenly delayed by such a long time.

Oh well, now I can say I know the first movie I’m looking forward to in 2009.
