How many of you out there love the reboot of the Star Trek movie franchise that had full of lens flare under the guidance of J. J. Abrams? Well, the third installment look set to be released half a year after Star Wars: The Force Awakens – hitting cinemas in the summer of 2016. There is even an exact date associated with the movie’s release, which would be July 8, 2016.
It was not too clear at first as to when the next Star Trek film would make an appearance after the apparently reshuffling of directors, but it looks as though Paramount has full confidence to move ahead at warp speed. Apparently, there is a very special reason for choosing July 8th as the movie’s release date, since that would coincide with Star Trek’s 50th anniversary – where the original TV series made its debut all the way back in 1966, believe it or not!
When J.J. Abrams moved on to handle Star Wars, Star Trek screenwriter Roberto Orci stepped in as a replacement, but Fast and Furious director Justin Lin was recently (as far back as a few days ago) announced as his replacement. I am quite sure that the merchandise machine would start cranking up ideas to coincide with the movie’s release a couple of years from now.
