Those hoping for a 2011 release date for the sequel to J.J. Abrams "Star Trek" have to wait a bit longer. Paramount announced a tentative June 29th, 2012 for the opening of Star Trek XII. As reported by ComingSoon.com, it's the only movie scheduled for that time frame so far. We're pretty excited that Paramount and Bad Robot didn't decide on a quick turnaround. The sequel needs time to be made right. Plus, we're pretty sure that J.J., Roberto Orci, and Alex Kurtzman have lots on their plates.

Slashfilm.com has pretty good insight about that particular day and month; As the Friday right before July 4th weekend, it’s a very strong date, and possibly a sign that the studio has a lot more faith in the sequel then they did in the first film (which was released on May 8, 2009).
