A source close to the production of 'Star Trek 2' has told the folks over at ScreenRant that Paramount are ready to put the money down for the pre-production on the film which is set to start this August, without having seen the script yet.
Paramount have been pitched the entire story for 'Star Trek 2' and the word so far is that they are extremely impressed. You cant really blame them for wanting this movie to be made as soon as possible, the first movie was a huge success grossing more than $385 million worldwide.
I'm excited for this movie, which is saying a lot because growing up I was a huge 'Star Wars' fan and raged war against anyone who was a fan of 'Star Trek', which made for an interesting time with my father being a trekkie, it caused me to walk out of the living room countless times. Needless to say when 'Star Trek' came into theaters, I avoided it, and when it was released on DVD, I avoided it, but I eventually watched it and I was very impressed with what I saw. To this day I still hate the 'Star Trek' TV show, but I'm a huge fan of the movie and I'm excited to see what they can do this time around.
Star Trek 2 is scheduled to open on June 29, 2012.
