Deadline: Trek 2 May Be Pushed to Holiday 2012

- Start date
Because despite being critically lynched all over the place, the movie still made Paramount money.
Too bad for Paramount that they can't clone Michael Bay yet.
Why not release it later in the year and aim for "Best Picture" buzz? The 09 movie was nominated. Perhaps Star Trek can take the highbrow approach and aim to make quality blockbusters. There are certainly enough "tent pole" movies coming out each and every summer.
For the Teen Choice Awards?
Hmm. Perhaps they could ditch the scifi stuff and give Kirk a disability to overcome?
If they aren't shooting until Jan 2012 and it takes about 3 months to shoot, why wait over a year to actually release the movie? Holiday 2012 would make more sense. Should give them time to put in all the lens flare everyone loves, drop a trailer at Comic Con, and promote the hell out of it.
Once primary filming is finished, the movie goes into post-production, which includes recording of extra voice parts and ADR, second-unit filming and reshoots, special effects (this alone can take months and require a huge amount of effort,) editing all the bits together, and then--once everything else is in something close to finished shape--the composer has to write and record the music.
Nine months really isn't a lot of time to pull something as technically complex as a Star Trek film together; filming for the last one went from early November 2007 until late March 2008 and it took them until (I think) 24th December to finish everything up.
Post-production takes a lot of time, and I'd assume they're going bigger with the sequel, so it might take even longer than the first.
Plus, now Nov-Dec 2012 is pretty crowded with huge releases. It might get lost in the shuffle.
that's actually surprising
i somewhat enjoyed gi joe 1 tbh though i had no desire to ever see it again and i have no idea where that 180m budget went either. thought it flopped, guess it did good foreign bo?
speaking of foreign BO, trek really needs to do better for this film and i'm wondering if they're figuring on how to do that?
They didn't make a killing on it, but it made money.

Why do you say they need to do better for this film? Trek has always had a much stronger domestic box office than international, the split averaging in the neighborhood of 65%/35%. If it was up to you, how would you go about making that foreign box office share increase?
What do smelly foreigners have to do with it?
LOL
