The UK release of J.J. Abrams' Star Trek Into Darkness has officially been moved up by a week to May 9 when it will go out in IMAX 3D, 3D and 2D cinemas. Paramount currently has the film set for a May 17 release in the States with IMAX 3D screenings on May 15. The shift has led some to wonder if the U.S. date may move to May 9 as well, but then what would happen to all those Super Bowl viewers who unlocked movie tickets for special early showings on the 15th? Simon Pegg, who plays Scotty in the film, just tweeted: 'Looks like Star Trek Into Darkness will land in the UK first. Release date May 9th. That's about 8 weeks away. Not long considering.' There have also been rumblings that the movie would get a special screening at the Cannes Film Festival which runs from May 15-26, but I've heard that is not the case. The new release date would seem to support that since movies are rarely screened in Cannes after they've premiered big elsewhere.
