Abrams: ‘Star Trek 2′ Converted To 3D

After months of speculation over a Star Trek sequel (when rather than if), everything is in place for shooting to commence in the new year. What’s more, director J.J. Abrams is thought to be ecstatic over the storyline that has been crafted for the movie. He didn’t have much else to say to MTV News...

Abrams Confirmed For ‘Star Trek 2′

Star Trek 2, or XII if you’re more old-skool, has taken a while to come together. If it had been rushed we’d have seen it this summer just gone, instead we’re looking at a late-2012, early-2013 release. But thankfully the old team is back together for this long-awaited sequel. According to Vulture, J.J. Abrams has...

Spock Happy With ‘Star Trek 2′ Delay

There is definitely going to be another Star Trek movie with J.J. Abrams in charge and all the cast returning for another bout of alternate timeline space adventuring, but it won’t be for a while yet. Not that that is necessarily a bad thing, as Zachary Quinto, who plays the new, young Spock, recently explained...

J.J. Abrams Talks ‘Star Trek 2′ Delay

Rebooting the Star Trek movie series could have gone horribly, horribly wrong. Give the job to the wrong person and just watch the fans and critics tear everyone involved a new hole. Luckily, this didn’t happen, because J.J. Abrams is about as trustworthy as directors come. The first Star Trek, technically Star Trek XI, was...

Damon Lindelof Talks ‘Star Trek 2′

I adored (I still do, actually) the first Star Trek movie of the new generation. Not the Next Generation, mind, that’s a different thing altogether. J.J. Abrams, Damon Lindelof, and the others did a fantastic job of rebooting a series that had been in the doldrums for a while. The problem is where to go...

Roberto Orci Talks ‘Star Trek 2′

Roberto Orci has been busily writing the screenplay for Star Trek 2 (or Star Trek XII if you prefer) along with Alex Kurtzman (both pictured above). The pair also wrote the first film, which J.J. Abrams then successfully brought to the big screen with much aplomb. He recently spoke to Coming Soon about the process...

Jack Ryan On Hold For ‘Star Trek 2′

Those of us eager to see a new Jack Ryan movie arrive sooner rather than later are out of luck, as a number of issues mean production is being put on hold for at least a few months and most probably longer. The biggest reason for the delay to the long-gestating fifth film is the...

‘Star Trek 2′ Script “Amazing”, Shatner Uncertain About Cameo

The first Star Trek movie under the guidance of J.J. Abrams was a masterpiece, triumphing against all the odds. Who’d have thought such memorable characters as Captain Kirk, Spock, Bones, and Scotty could be played by a new crop of actors so well? The next Star Trek movie (Star Trek 2, Star Trek 12, or...

‘Star Trek 2′ Nod To ‘The Dark Knight’

I loved the first Star Trek movie of the J.J. Abrams era. This was a real Next Generation version of the Star Trek universe, with all the familiar characters taken back to their roots. And the emergence of an alternate universe means the movies can now head in any direction the writers see fit. Damon...

Quinto Taking A Break From ‘Star Trek’

But don’t worry, as that doesn’t mean the new Spock won’t be in the next film. But until that start shooting, Quinto wants to give the whole Star Trek universe a wide berth, preferring to use his new found movie fame to explore other avenues. I love the new Star Trek. I was always bound...

Matt Damon Turned Down ‘Star Trek’

I love the new Star Trek film, saw it twice at the cinema, and will likely pick up the DVD or Blu-ray over the holiday season as well. Part of the appeal is the incredible casting, with every role superbly matched to the actors chosen. However, one of the smaller roles, that of George Kirk,...

Nimoy: ‘Star Trek’ Doesn’t Need Me

The latest Star Trek movie succeeded on a number of different levels. It pleased the fans, gave newcomers a chance to enter the series, and managed to successfully bring Star Trek from what it was to what it has to become in order to continue onwards. One of the best moves by director J.J. Abrams...

Abrams Wants Peter Graves Cameo In ‘Mission Impossible IV’

J.J. Abrams is a man who isn’t afraid of hard work. He’s currently juggling the initial work needed on Star Trek II (or Star Trek XII if you prefer) and Mission Impossible IV, sequels to franchise films he’s succeeded with. In a Collider interview mostly about the new Star Trek sequel, Abrams also spoke a...
