While JJ Abrams is out doing promotional duties as producer of Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol producer J.J. Abrams, all anyone really wants to ask him about is Star Trek 2. However Abrams is notoriously tight-lipped, so he’s not saying much, but he did let slip to MTV that the movie will be shot in 2D and converted to 3D later, with some scenes possibly shooting in IMAX.
“We’re shooting on film, 2D, and then we’ll do a good high-end conversion like the Harry Potter movie and all that,” Abrams says. “Luckily, with our release date now (May 17th, 2013) we have the months needed to do it right because if you rush it, it never looks good. We were talking about [shooting in IMAX] and I would love to do it. IMAX is my favorite format; I’m a huge fan.”
The director wouldn’t say whether, as rumoured, Kahn is going to be the villain, saying that it is too early to talk about the fine details just yet. He did call the script “amazing”, and claims that it will all be on him if this film gets screwed up.
Some are bound to grumble about post-production 3D, but it can be okay if done well. The film begins shooting next month.

With a January production start planned for Star Trek 2, JJ Abrams doesn’t have long to find the film’s main villain after talks with Benicio Del Toro broke down last week. As a result he’s working fast and it seems he’s already found the person he wants, although as yet no deal is in place.
For the last couple of weeks it seemed that Benicio Del Toro would be playing the villain in Star Trek 2, and for much of that time, rumours have swirled that the character he’d play would be the legendary Trek bad guy, Khan. However over the weekend director JJ Abrams seemed to quash rumours of Khan’s involvement.
While JJ Abrams is still trying to keep things secret on the plot front for Star Trek 2, new cast members are gradually being announced, even if we don’t know who’ll they’ll be playing. The latest addition is Robocop himself, Peter Weller, who 
The first entries in our advent calendar were actors from recent gay-themed movie, and now it’s time for a man who’s only recently come out as gay, Zachary Quinto. His quiet yet powerful coming out was also a good reminder of what a hottie he is, and just to confirm that, it was great to see him playing gay – and rather camp – on American Horror Story recently (and getting killed by a guy in a all-over rubber gimp suit, no less).
Things are finally moving on apace with Star Trek 2, and the latest news, via 
There’s been a huge amount of interest in exactly when Star Trek 2 might reach our screens, largely because while Paramount was keen to get it into production the moment the first film hit it big at the box office, JJ Abrams and the writers (Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and Damon Lindelof) have taken their sweet time putting things together.
It may have taken them quite a while to get Star Trek 2 sorted, but things finally seem to be moving forwards on the movie, with JJ Abrams once more at the helm. Now it appears Abrams has decided who he wants as the villain, as
