'Star Trek 2' loses its summer 2012 release day to 'G.I. Joe 2'

You win some, you lose some.

As for June 29, 2012, the day lost the followup to J.J. Abram's "Star Trek" and instead won "G.I. Joe 2." Not really an equitable trade, but you play the cards you're dealt.

According to Deadline, Abrams is now working with screenwriters Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof on the "Star Trek" sequel, but the project's delays pretty much guaranteed it wouldn't make the planned June 29, 2012, release.

So Paramount officially pulled it off the date, and replaced it with another of its sequels, the as yet untitled "G.I. Joe 2," which will be directed by Jon M. Chu ("Justin Bieber: Never Say Never") and had been set for an Aug. 10, 2012, release.

Meanwhile, Abrams hasn't actually signed on to direct "Star Trek 2," although he is producing and as mentioned above, helping with the script. It should only be a matter of time before he makes it official, however, that he will be at the helm of the Enterprise's adventures again.
