Star Trek 12 Gets Release Date
I'm not sure if its Star Trek 12 or Star Trek 2, but the release date is June 29, 2012.
http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2010/01/11...-nothing-else/ 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? |

This has nothing to do with the new movie, but is Star Trek related. Holy ****, did I miss out on something cool. Last week, the chairman of my firm sent out an e-mail saying he had eight tickets to an event at the Lyric Opera Saturday night, free to whoever wanted them. When I saw "Lyric Opera" I immediately tuned it out. I may enjoy going to plays, but have no desire to sit through some friggin opera.
But this wasn't an opera. It was a Second City comedy event, hosted by Patrick Stewart. Patrick Stewart. In person. And I could have had fourth row center seats about 15 feet from the stage. FREE. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF**** ![]() |

New theory about Cumberbatch villian.
Hes playing a character named Robert April that’s from an episode of Star Trek the animated series. I don’t even remember him because I haven’t watched those in forever. I guess they are available on Netflix. http://www.bleedingcool.com/2013/01/...his-real-name/ Robert April first appeared in an episode of the animated Trek series called The Counter-Clock Incident. I’m told that animated Trek isn’t canon, but nonetheless, April’s name then popped up in various other places that were. In tie-in novels, he was even revealed to be British – like Cumberbatch, and as far as we can tell, his character in the film. One big clue is the weapon we see Cumberbatch using in the trailer. It’s a bloody big gun – and while it might not be a smoking one, it certainly adds some firepower to the evidence. During his visit to the Bad Robot offices, Hit Fix‘s Drew McWeeny saw this same gun in a big book of production art. It was labelled April’s Gatling Gun. Not because they had a gun for every month of the year, but because it belonged to April. But if Benedict Cumberbatch really is playing Robert April, why doesn’t the Robert April in the comic look like Benedict Cumberbatch? First of all, bear in mind that David Messina’s art is interpretive, not photo realistic. His Kirk doesn’t look exactly like Chris Pine, either. And then, if we go back to April’s original appearance in the animated show, there’s more. It’s complicated, but in essence, the story features characters ageing backwards. Could that mechanic be part of his story here too? Is he going to get younger in time for the movie? If so, and if he has somehow gotten a degree of control over this de-ageing, then I can see why he’s of use to the parents of the young dying girl in the Into Darkness opening scenes. If she’s got something degenerative, he can likely reverse it. It’s also worth noting that April was a Starfleet Commander and the first captain of the Enterprise. This matches both the costume and behaviour of Cumberbatch in the trailer. April lost the seat of the Enterprise to Captain Pike, so I can see that they might have some powerful scenes together. Also, the rumours about Pike being liberated from his wheelchair might play into their relationship, with April using his de-ageing technique, whatever it is, to get Pike back on his feet. Also see the promo image at the head of the post, putting Cumberbatch and Pine opposite each other, like reflections of one another, dark and light. The captain that came before Pike, the one that came after… Now, we don’t know any of this for sure – only that the first Into Darkness comic ends on a humdinger of a tease. I do have a little suspicion that we’re being played and whatever we learn in the next issue will drive a truck right through the middle of this theory, but for now… for now it feels good.

Sounds way out of the loop, like when Mission Impossible made Mr. Phelps a bad guy. If its a former Captain he would probably be Garth of Izar.

I guess April is the Enterprise Captain before Pike? Im not familiar with the animated series. Its really sort of strange if they went that far out there to get a villain? Some don’t even consider the animated series “Canon”

Not Star Trek, I know, but no reports are coming out that JJ is set to direct Star Wars Episode 7.
Odd since he's said time and time again that he isn't. Are the reports wrong? Did he change his mind? Was all the earlier talk just smoke screen? http://www.thewrap.com/movies/articl...xclusive-74596 |

Well more or more outlets are running with this. Must be true.
In which case, I'm all for it. I think he's an ideal choice. |

This is really reaching for a villain. It's like If Disney said. "Hey, remember Chewbaccas brother from the Star Wars Holliday Special?, well, he's the villain in the next Star Wars movie"

![]() But does it really matter? As long as it's a good story, I don't need it to be some known marquise villain. I don't even need it to be someone who has ever appeared in the Star Trek universe before. |
