‘Star Trek’ pushed to May 2009
“Star Trek” fans will have to wait a bit longer to see where the crew of the starship Enterprise is boldly going next.
The release of J.J. Abrams’ “Star Trek,” with a new cast taking on the roles of Capt. James T. Kirk, Spock and other original characters, has been moved from Christmas Day to May 8, 2009, distributor Paramount said Thursday.
Studio spokesman Michael Vollman said “Star Trek” would be finished by fall in time for its original release date, but studio executives decided to hold it until next summer, when the film could pull in more money.
