When asked by Coming Soon about details on a sequel to the mega hit Star Trek, the  writers of the film said 2012 is the likely year for the release of the next film. Check it out!

At the 2009 Screenwriting Expo which is being held in downtown Los Angeles this year, ComingSoon.net asked Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, the writers of Star Trek, if they could give us any updated info as to where the storyline will be going in the next film. While they’re still very much in the beginning stages and couldn’t give us many details, they did give a possible release date year.

“We’re rereading some of our favorite ‘Star Trek’ novels now and watching the original series again. The honest answer is we don’t know yet,” Orci said. “We think it’s going to be a 2012 release, but I’m not sure,” he continued.

“Originally we thought we were going to have to have the script in by Christmas, but the release changed so certainly within the next eight months I’d say,” Kurtzman told us.

Any news coming down the pipe about a sequel to this film is hot news for the whole new generation of Trekkies. Although they probably wouldn’t call themselves that, the new film has created a brand new mass of Star Trek fans that are eagerly awaiting the sequel. I really loved the new film, I’m looking forward to seeing what they do next with the story.
