The still untitled Star Trek 2 may not have a name yet, but at least it has a release date. Deadline reports that Paramount has officially set it’s Star Trek sequel phasers on May 17, 2013. The date opened up after Sony pulled Roland Emmerich’s Singularity from May 17th, 2013, to Nov 1, 2013.

Writer/director J.J. Abrams’ of the 2009 Star Trek revamp will return as director. The movie is being co-written by Abrams with Lost‘s Damon Lindelof and Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci (Kurtzman and Orci wrote the revamp).

The main cast from the reboot, including Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto and Zoe Saldana, are all returning. Benicio Del Toro is rumored to be the villain but nothing has been confirmed.

And also, Star Trek 2 will be filmed in 3D. Not sure how that will effect the lens flare that was so prominent in the 2009 film.

HI FRIENDS!
My name is Sian Heder and I am a filmmaker living in Los Angeles. I am asking for your help in making my next short film, DOG EAT DOG. With two feature projects in the process of being assembled, (which, you may be aware, is like herding cats), I have decided the time has come to make another short. Many of you may have supported my first film, MOTHER, which went on to win at Cannes and garnered many awards at film festivals worldwide. This new project is a short comedy collaboration with my old and dear friend, actor Zachary Quinto. We are using Kickstarter to both raise funds for the film AND to make a sizable donation to the Humane Society in support of dog adoption. So this is both art and charity.

Although there aren’t many details about J.J. Abrams upcoming Star Trek sequel, rumors are coming from the set that the movie won’t be called Star Trek 2. The franchise moved away from numerical sequel titles after the sixth original installment with Star Trek: Generations, but it is clear that the new film will also steer clear from the numbers.

The original crew for the 2009 remake will be back for seconds, including Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Simon Pegg, John Cho, and Karl Urban with J.J. Abrams at the reigns.

Access Hollywod recently caught up with actress Zoe Saldana, who played Nyota Uhura in the first film, to talk about where the production currently lies:

“We still haven’t gotten a script yet,” she said of progress on the film, which Access has confirmed with a source will begin shooting in mid-January. “We’re very excited to read it and get back into space.”

Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman have penned the sequel, and a release date is still to be determined. Star Trek 2 comes to theaters in 2012.

I have a treat for you today. High quality screencaptures of “Margin Call” has been added to the gallery.
If you don’t know when the movie will be in your city, you can watch it via iTunes while it still on theaters (I did that!).
