Damn it Jim I'm a doctor not a director! Principal photography begins on Star Trek sequel



Critics log supplemental Star Date 1/17/2012:


After villains and rumors of villains, not to mention script delays and plot mysteries, things are gearing up for the Star Trek sequel. Today in Los Angeles principal photography began on the next edition in a genre that has spanned almost 50 years and generated five television series, eleven films, one cartoon series, conventions, and untold numbers of 40 year old virgins living in their mothers' basements.

Not surprisingly there is still no word on the plot, the villain, or even what the name of the sequel* will be. Cast members Chris Pine (Kirk), Zachary Quinto (Spock), John Cho (Sulu), Simon Pegg (Scotty), Zoe Saldana (Uhura), Karl Urban ("Bones" McCoy), and Anton Yelchin (Chekov) all return. They are joined by new cast members Benedict Cumberbatch, Alice Eve, and Peter Weller.

The Star Trek sequel is set for a twelve week shoot and releases star date 5/17/2013.


*My guess is that the sequel title will not be Star Trek 2 Electric Bugaloo or Star Trek 2 Secret of the Ooze.
