  25th June 2015 - Production Begins in Canada
  
  Production is now underway in Vancouver on the tentatively titled Star Trek 3 (rumored to be called Star Trek Beyond).
  
  Trek cast members Zachary Quinto (Spock) and Zoe Saldana (Uhura) took to their respective social media accounts to post photos of them getting made up for shooting a scene. In Quinto's case, it means getting a Vulcan bowl cut and saying goodbye to his eyebrows (again).

  28th April - Now called "Star Trek Beyond"
  
  It appears that ‘Star Trek Beyond‘ may be the title of the upcoming Star Trek film, lucky number 13 in the franchise. As far as the storyline is concerned, the title suggests that the new film will venture farther out into the galaxy than we have seen in the previous two Abrams films, as co-writer Simon Pegg has been hinting at for some time now.
  
  TrekMovie.com has it on good authority that Star Trek Beyond is being used for the title of the new Trek film. What we do know is that the name has been registered with the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), a step that typically signifies a title has been settled on for an upcoming movie. It is possible, given Bad Robot’s history of secrecy and pretense, that this is merely a decoy name registered to stir up conjecture amongst the media and fans. But, the official title will need to be registered with the MPAA before the film’s release, and given the timeline, it seems likely that such a decision would be made now.

  11th April 2015 - Sofia Boutella Lands Lead Role
  
  

  After a sharp turn as the sexy blade-legged assassin in the Matthew Vaughn-directed hit Kingsman: The Secret Service, Sofia Boutella has been set for a lead role in Star Trek 3, which Justin Lin is directing from a script by cast member Simon Pegg and Doug Jung (creator of the TNT series Dark Blue).
  
  Prying loose info on this project is difficult, so I’m not sure whether she’s on the side of good or bad, but I’m told she’s got a lead role in the Paramount/Skydance film produced by Bad Robot that’s based on the Gene Roddenberry series. Paramount has dated the pic’s release for July 8, 2016.

  11th Feb 2015 - Begins Filming in April; Bryan Cranston Rumored for Villain Role
  
  We at least know when production is set to begin on Star Trek 3. On Location Vacations reports that the film’s start date is April 15th, 2015, and that things will kick off at Vancouver Film Studios.
  
  Film Divider‘s sources also indicate that the new villain will be a male character and that the studio is looking for a Bryan Cranston-esque actor to play him. In fact, Cranston himself has apparently “had words” about taking the role, but what those words were and which direction they took remains a mystery for now. If Cranston does get the role then hopefully he’ll get a bit more screen time than he was given in Godzilla.
  
  Star Trek 3 opens in U.S. theaters on July 8th, 2016.
