Star Trek Movie Delayed Until Next Year

Categories: Paramount, Drama, Science Fiction, Sequels, Trailers, Upcoming Releases

Well, it looks like we’re going to have to wait a little longer to beam anyone up.

Those who made it out to see Cloverfield in the past few weeks got a sneak peek at another J.J. Abrams production: Star Trek.  (If you haven’t seen the clip yet, you can view it after the jump.) Unfortunately, a major part of that trailer is now no longer true.

The highly-anticipated prequel/sequel was slated to be released ‘Christmas 2008’.  What it should have said was ‘December....Give Or Take a Few Months.’

According to Variety, the movie’s premiere will remain ‘under construction’ until May 8, 2009.

The film was simply part of a major reshuffling in Paramount’s calendar.  In most cases, a changed date usually signals bad news; that’s not the case with Trek.  In fact, the studio believes the movie will benefit from this shift.

Actors involved in the next installment include Tyler Perry, Winona Ryder, Zoe Saldana, Eric Bana, Zachary Quinto and Leonard Nimoy.

In the past couple of days, we’ve learned of two more females added to the upcoming Star Trek film.  Winona Ryder (The Age of Innocence) and Jennifer Morrison (House) will now be joining actress Zoe Saldana in the male-heavy cast.

Although director J.J. Abrams is being tight-lipped about Morrison’s role in the film, he has denied speculation that she will play secretary Yeoman Rand.  Meanwhile Ryder has been cast as Amanda Grayson, the human mother of young Spock (Zachary Quinto).  Saldana, as previously announced, will be starring as Lt. Uhura.

Just last week we announced intriguing casting news for the upcoming Star Trek film:  Eric Bana as the film’s villian, Nero.  (I wonder if this was the part Russell Crowe was rumored for.) Now we have more news to whet your appetites.  Actor Simon Pegg (Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead) is signed on to play Scotty; John Cho (Harold and Kumar) will take over the role of Sulu.  With the exception of James T. Kirk (an actor is supposedly being finalized), most of the characters have now been filled.  As a refresher:

• John Cho: Sulu
• Simon Pegg: Scotty
• Eric Bana: Nero
• Zoe Saldana (Haven): Uhura
• Anton Yelchin (Alpha Dog): Chekov
• Zachary Quinto (Heroes): young Spock
• Leonard Nimoy: Spock

Not much is known about the script, though it is believed the movie will depict the Enterprise’s early days.  Shooting for the J.J. Abrams film will begin in November.
