Sorry, Trekkies

Director J.J. Abrams' big screen take on the classic sci-fi series "Star Trek" was moved from a Christmas Day release this year to May 8, 2009.
While the company said the move didn't have anything to do with the drawn-out Writers Guild of America strike, the film had been in production without its screenwriters available for revisions since they went on strike Nov. 5.
Paramount announced the change last week, with a company spokesman telling the Associated Press, "This is all about box-office potential. Summer is where you see the 'Star Wars' and the 'Spider-Mans' and the 'Shreks' and the 'Transformers.' 'Star Trek' is in that league."
