Chris Pine will star in Star Trek 2 before the Untitled Jack Ryan Project
It seems there are ongoing script issues with the Untitled Jack Ryan Project. We reported in February that screenwriter Steven Zaillian was brought onto rewrite the screenplay, though he stepped away from the project a few weeks ago. Paramount is currently talking to other writers to come aboard. Jack Bender is still attached to direct the Untitled Jack Ryan Project.
Now the plan will be for Chris Pine to start production on Star Trek 2 this fall, with a release date already set for July 29, 2012. Director J.J. Abrams still hasn't officially signed onto direct Star Trek 2 yet. Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, and Damon Lindelof are writing the screenplay.
Paramount insiders have also indicated that they are in no hurry to rush into the Untitled Jack Ryan Project, since they want to start a franchise with this new movie. Hopefully, these script issues are resolved soon.
Star Trek Into Darkness was released May 17th, 2013 and stars Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, John Cho, Benedict Cumberbatch, Anton Yelchin. The film is directed by J.J. Abrams.
Jack Ryan comes to theaters December 25th, 2013 and stars Keira Knightley, Chris Pine, Kevin Costner, Kenneth Branagh, Colm Feore, Lee Asquith-Coe, Nonso Anozie, Gemma Chan. The film is directed by Kenneth Branagh.

awesome. exactly as it should be. i'm glad they are reworking the Jack Ryan stuff though too! they NEED to get his stuff right b/c he is too good of a character to let that fall by the wayside!

Great news. Star Trek (2009) was much better than I expected and I'm really looking forward to the sequel.
*raises Martini to Chris Pine*

"release date already set for July 29, 2012" "Star Trek 2 comes to theaters June 29th, 2012"
Just thought I'd point out this typo for you. For it does indeed come out June 29th not July 29th.
