From the article:
"Summer is where you see the Star Wars and the Transformers," said studio spokesman Michael Vollman. "Star Trek is in that league."
Paramount insisted the decision was a vote of confidence in the production and was not related to the recent Hollywood writers' strike.
"Star Trek is in fantastic shape. This is all about box-office potential," said Mr Vollman.
The film had been in production without its screenwriters available to make revisions.
The studio is aiming to release Star Trek on 8 May 2009, putting it in the middle of some strong competition.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine, starring Hugh Jackman, is scheduled to open a week earlier.
And a week after Star Trek will come The Da Vinci Code prequel, Angels and Demons.
