Star Trek Sequel Wraps Production

J.J. Abrams, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Simon Pegg, Benedict Cumberbatch and the rest of the cast and crew of the Star Trek sequel have wrapped principal photography on the eagerly anticipated film. Though no official end-of-production release was released, actors Quinto and Pegg tweeted comments and photos to that effect.

Pegg wrote, “Wind, reel and print. The countdown to May 2013 has begun.” Quinto, meanwhile, wrote, “ZQ. Picture

wrap. Holy sh-t.” He later tweeted, “Dear eyebrows, hurry
back now, ya hear?!??” That last comment caught the attention of a certain other actor who'd previously played the same Vulcan character Quinto does. “You can count on it,” Leonard Nimoy promised. “I know from experience.”

And now, with the Star Trek sequel wrapped, post-production work commences in earnest. The sequel, as announced, will open on May 17, 2013.
