I read about this yesterday, but I thought the BBC story bared linking to:

Largely for the great quote about Star Trek being in the same league as Transformers. As a long-time Transformers geek, it warms my heart to hear it mentioned in that way

As for the movie delay? Well, when I heard about it, I hoped that it meant some post-writers-strike reshoots. JJ Abrahams has been quoted saying that there were scenes whose dialogue he would’ve liked to have changed, but couldn’t because of the strike, so delaying the film by 5/6 months would’ve seemed like a good idea to go back and tweak it. However, from the studio quote, that doesn’t seem to be the case.

Personally, I don’t quite get the summer-blockbuster excuse. Christmas seems perfectly acceptable as a release time for such minor franchises as Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and James Bond.

Bet James Bond wishes he was in the same league as Transformers.
