Rumor Mill : Star Trek Movie Release Date of May 2009 Still Not Set ?

Features

By GustavoLeao / 03:04, 16 February 2008 / Star Trek: Nemesis

Acording to a new report at SyFy Portal, the new release date for the new Star Trek movie of May 8 2009 may not be set in stone, according to studio sources.


"There are a few people here who want the Star Trek franchise to become the studio's new Fourth of July slam-dunk," said the source, who asked not to be named. "I don't know how well that will work because 'Star Trek' is not considered the kind of action fare that usually works as a summer blockbuster, but there's a lot of history behind summer releases that could really help" the franchise.


"Star Trek used to be a summer franchise, but for some reason, in recent years, it was moved back to being more holiday fare," the source said.

This information is preliminary, of course, and entirely rumor.

The full report can be found here.

Yeah, as I put in the headline and in the article, this report is only a rumor.

But since the Sy FY Portal website and its editor Michael Hinman always had reliable sources, I think it is fair to post this story.

But I will say again, it is only a rumor.

Sorry about the "woundering"! It should read "wondering"!

And just to cause waves of poster bashing; I am glad Shatner is not in it!

There, now I've done it. [...]

I am woundering how they can sustain the buzz for 15 months. If they have so much riding on it they are going to have lots of problems keeping people's interest or the production under wraps. When you "redefine" a famous tv series you have to be very careful what you do because prime business is going to come from the fans. Look at the run of disasters from classic TV - movies. Have any actually been any good?

Are the paramount boys going to keep Trek die-hards interested for so long? Personally for me, setting back the date to summer 2009 is like a bucket of cold water over my head. I might not be bothered to wait that long and be turned off before it hits.
