Star Trek Movie Date Moved

I know this is week old news but as they say, better late then never.

The upcoming Star Trek movie has been moved form December of this year to May 8th, 2009. The change is due to a "major reshuffling to the studio’s release calendar" which I assume is in an attempt to give certain movies more time due to the WGA strike. The strike, which is on the verdge of ending as soon as all the members approve the new contract, has undoublely created a lot of trouble for all the studios out there and I'm sure we will see similar shuffling of movies in the upcoming months.

I am actually very glad to hear that this particular movie has been given five more months to pull things together. From what I've read about the movie, there are several details that need to be fixed and I'm sure J.J. Abrams looks forward to the opportunity to make changes.

This is good news. Be patient.
