i am furious that due to conflicts with jj's new season of lost, and reportedly a sequel to the turd that is cloverfield, star trek 11 has been pushed back from christmas to may 2009.

the only possible good thing i can see coming out of this is it will give them time to find william shatner a part in the movie if his ego and money grabbing are checked at the door.

is it possible that the delays on this movie among other movies out there being pushed back has anything to do with the ended writer's strike?

i mean it pushed back narnia 2 and pretty much made the next temrinator movies cancelled and has had brian singer walk off of superman the man of steel, and led to the demise of the justice league movie.

supposedly the new james bond quantum of solace and indiana jone IV crystal skulls come out on schedule.


The other good thing about bringing it out in May versus Christmas is that the Summer season is typically better for movies than the Christmas season is.

Does Shatner even want a part in the movie? Seriously, all indications to me show that the guy has moved on. Star Trek isn't his life. He seems more interested in not being known as just Captain Kirk.

Demise of the Justice League movie? IMDB lists it as Pre-Production with a date of 2010. And actually, there's an article posted on its listing that says Warner is pushing ahead with a 2009 release date. In that same listing, they say T4 is also scheduled for 2009.

I'd say all the delays and indefinite holds were definitely related to the writer's strike. Now that the strike is over though, everything can get moving again.
