JJ OFF TREK? MOVIE PUSHED BACK ?
From TREKWEB.COM


Richard Arnold

While at the british convention SF Ball this weekend, Sci Fi Pulse webmaster and editor Ian Cullen found out interesting bits of information from Richard Arnold, former Personal Assistant to the late Gene Roddenberry.

Arnold revealed inside information about the upcoming Star Trek XI prequel at the convention, info that, if true, confirms and denies many of the recent rumours posted at various web sites such as Trek Movie Report and Latino Review. Here are excerpts from Cullen's report.

"During a Q&A session which he held after he'd auctioned off a lot of Star Trek booty from his personal collection to help raise money for charity, Arnold spoke for about 5 minutes about some of the things which he has been hearing from his friends inside of the studio.


First and foremost Arnold told fans that the release date of the movie was going to be put back from a summer release date so as not to have it conflict with the 4th Indiana Jones movie. He revealed that the movie would most definitely get a release in the fall of 2008, probably November. He also confirmed the rumours that J.J. Abrams would not be able to direct the movie due to other commitments, however he added that Abrams has had more of a hand in writing the movie than we to this point have been led to believe.


As to casting, when I asked him about the rumours concerning Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and the more recent James McAvoy playing key roles, Arnold dismissed those casting rumours as total bunk. He did say that the studio has a big name in mind to take on the lead role in the movie. He said that it would not be Tom Cruise or Matt Damon.


Additionally Arnold revealed that Paramount's new management are upping the budget on the movie and it seems that the movie will cost twice as much as any of the previous Star Trek movies, which have been made to date."

This information is preliminary, of course, and entirely rumor.
