YES!! STAR TREK 2 To Be In Glorious 3D!!

Yes, I am a trekkie so this news is pie in the sky stuff for me. I'm beside myself. LOVE IT.

Deadline reports that the JJ Abrams sequel to his first crack at the franchise (which did ~$400m worldwide) will indeed be in stereoscopic 3D!

We are now looking at a release date of May 17, 2013 (that is, if the Earth is still here of course). Roland Emmerich's SINGULARITY has been pulled off of that date freeing it up for Paramount and JJ Abrams.

So is it going to be any good? Well from all clues thus far it will be. Abrams first go at it with STAR TREK was quite good - certainly in comparison with the TOS casted first 10 attempts. And with this sequel, Abrams is pulling in all the stops - he is writing it along with Damon Lindelhof, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci.

All the principal cast members are returning too! No word on whether it is native 3D or a conversion - my feelers are out! More when I get it...
