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.

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.
I've been waiting since Nemesis for a new Trek movie, so in all honestly, one more year won't kill me. Especially if it means the movie itself might be even better. If the filmmakers didn't ask for more time and now have it, I doubt they're going to just sit on it and not do anything. So all this means to me is BETTER MOVIE.

Let's hope.

If there's one thing JJ Abrams is good at, it's marketing. The man knows how to both create and sustain buzz. I'm not too worried about that aspect.
