'Star Trek' pushed back to 2009
Paramount shuffles major releases
By PAMELA MCCLINTOCK

Paramount is pushing back the release of "Star Trek" from Dec. 15 to
May 8, 2009.

Move was part of a major reshuffling to the studio's release calendar,
as well as DreamWorks' release calendar.

Studio insiders said "Star Trek" has the potential to gross more in
May than in December.

All the majors are likely to revisit their 2008 and 2009 release skeds
in the wake of the writer's strike now being over. There's an
abundance of films slated for release this year, and particularly
comedies. It's likely that Par won't be the only studio pushing back
films to 2009.

"Star Trek" has no competition in its new slot--at least not so far.
One week earlier, 20th Century Fox bows "X-Men Origins: Wolverine."

Paramount also announced that Martin Scorsese's Leonardo
DiCaprio-starrer "Shutter Island" will be released Oct. 2, 2008.

Casting, if course. There are still hundreds of actors
who have still not been announed as being cast in the
film yet.

morsel "leaked" to figure out how the movie is gona to suck and how no one
knows Star Trek like they do...

Hee hee

Naw, it's writing. They've been using the strike as an excuse for why
they couldn't fix the script for months. They used it as an excuse for
why they couldn't involved the Shat as well. Hopefully now they'll
address all of that.
