Star Trek 2 Filming Begins This Week

Director J.J. Abrams announced filming on Star Trek 2 will begin on Thursday.

The Director also confirmed that although Star Trek 2 will eventually be converted to 3D, it will first be filmed in anamorphic format. “We’re shooting on film,” said Abrams, “and the reason for that is that I wanted to shoot with anamorphic, and you can’t shoot 3D in anamorphic. Filming of the new Star Trek  is expected to last four months.
