Star Trek "3" news!

[ChrisMC]

No way, not if Star Wars is still planned for 2015. We all know he can't multitask did movies, it's why we waited 4 years for Into Darkness.

Star Wars is planned for 2016.

That says filming in 2014 followed by release in 2015.

This new article from today running with the news still claims 2015 is the date.

Wasn't the 2015 date part of the Lucasfilm sale announcement?

[Bryancd]

You're right Chris, I don't know why 2016 popped into my head when I trout of the scheduled release date. Having said that, I think 2016 is more likely.

[ChrisMC]

Especially considering the pre and post production on Star Wars movies of the past. 
That said, JJ doesn't hand to direct the next Trek film.  There's plenty if talented directors in Hollywood, some them are even Trek fans!

My prediction:  Episode VII in 2015.  Next Trek in 2016, to coincide with the 50th Anniversary.

That would certainly make sense but then is Quinto correct saying they are going to film next year?

[ChrisMC]

Maybe LATE next year, I would say. I think Rico is spot on, they are definitely gonna want to have new Trek product in 2016.

[Bryancd]

But then again Star Wars is the bigger $ franchise and would be a Bad Robot priority. If they go over on that schedule new Trek would be the likely casualty, or JJ doesn't direct, gets a producing credit, and sticks wi keeping Star Wars on schedule.

[ChrisMC]

Could turn out to be a pretty big conflict for Bad Robot if SW gets moved to 2016. I still don't believe JJ will be directing. Lets use history as a barometer...it's time for Quinto to step up!

"Into Darkness" was filmed over a year before it's release.  They could easily film the next Trek late next year and release it in 2016 still.

I thought this was going to be about "The Search for Spock".  ;D

[Dangelus]

I would line the next one to heavily feature Klingons or Romulans or both. We've wasted long enough.

[Meds]

I think its time they moved to a new villain. Make a new race up and get some fresh ideas.

[WillEagle]

Fresh ideas sound good to me.
