Reports are spreading across the web that Star Trek XII (or is it just II?)– the sequel to J.J. Abrams 2009 blockbuster – has been given a release date of June 29, 2012 by Paramount Pictures.

There’s no actual confirmation that Abrams will direct again, but Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman are attached as writers, alongside Damon Lindelof.  No plot details have yet been released.

If I remember correctly, the crew of the Enterprise had a sequel-obligation written into their contracts, so I presume they will all return.
