Fans waiting for Star Trek 2 finally have a release date.

An unexpected opening in the movie release schedule for 2013 has made room for another movie to be released on that newly-vacated weekend and Paramount is taking advantage of that opportunity and releasing Star Trek 2 on May 17, 2013.

Sony had moved Roland Emmerich‘s Singularity from May 17, 2013 to November 1, 2013, so Paramount jumped at the opportunity to take that highly-desirable pre-Memorial Day time slot and they will release Star Trek 2 on that date.

Star Trek 2 will be filmed in 3D.

J.J. Abrams confirmed that he would like to have Benicio Del Toro in Star Trek 2, although he is mum regarding what role the actor would play.

It’s not even negotiations—just in discussion. But I would love to work with him. I’ve wanted to work with him for years, and this felt like a good opportunity.”
