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.

Fans hoping for Star Trek 2 in 2012 are in for a bit of a disappointment, as it’s more likely that the J.J. Abrams sequel will arrive in theaters in 2013 instead.

Viacom CEO Phillippe Dauman mentioned Star Trek 2 during a Viacom quarterly earnings call.  Abrams is “focused on developing the next installment of our Star Trek franchise” for a possible release in 2013, Dauman said.

Star Trek 2 had originally been slated to release on June 29, 2012.

Star Trek XI joins ten other movies and television shows to be honored at the S.E.T. Awards next month.

The films and shows included amongst the honorees include: Avatar, Extraordinary Measures, Star Trek XI, Iron Man 2, Social Network, Drop Dead Diva, Simpsons, Bones, Burn Notice, CSI: Miami, and Law & Order: SVU.
