Deadline Hollywood’s Mike Fleming has found out the Star Treak outline has been approved.
The recent interview in which Bob Orci revealed franchise mastermind J.J. Abrams, who is having a busy year including the upcoming “Super 8”, has not yet approved the 70-page outline Orci co-wrote.
That revelation almost seems to guarantee a new effects-swollen “Trek” will not be hitting cinemas in 13 months. Rather, Abrams will want to push Paramount’s release date from June 2012 to at least December 2012.
Bruce Greenwood indicated last July that the plan was to start shooting in January 2011, which made perfect sense given the June 2012 release date.
The last “Star Trek” was long earmarked for Christmas 2008 – until it was bumped back to summer 2009.
