Still a whole lot better than The Desolation of Smaug.

read that it was meant to be called Riddles In The Dark, thats a much better title.

Star Trek Into Darkness? Into Lensflare more like.

Jesus Christ, will you keep it down. You're on an internet film forum asking about plot holes. I can hear them already coming over the hills with scene by scene break downs.

Abrams showed a clip on Conan apparently: http://teamcoco.com/video/jj-abrams-gives-an-exclusive-sneak-peek-of-star-trek-into-darkness

My internet sucks balls so I haven't been able to watch it. Apparently its only three frames long or something though.

Here's a gif of it so. He introduced it as "Spock in a special suit in a volcano" or words to that effect.

Taking the concept of a 'teaser' to ludicrous new heights (or is it lows?) there, J.J.

Mickeroo

Glad I didn't sit through the Conan clip for that I have to say.

It's achieved its goal, hasn't it? I mean you're discussing it now -- so, yeah.

Wonder if that's Quinto's Spock or Nimoy's Spock?

Mickeroo

Don't think Nimoy is in this one.

That's a pity. Would have been nice to have seen him come back again.

I remember someone mention previously a rumour that Cumberbatch was playing Khan effectively - has that been proven to be true or false?

Not 100% on who he's playing but I thought they debunked the talk of him playing Khan, could be wrong though.

Is that a light source with no massive lens flare, surely not?

3 seconds, yowsers - what the heck was the context of this 'clip'? They surely weren't promoting this as something legitimate? I'm not going to suffer Conan O'Brian to find out, so someone can give me the cliff notes

Not even 3 seconds. 3 FRAMES.

I've heard the teaser is the same if you play it backwards!

"Star Trek" fans will get their first look at what's next for Captain Kirk
and crew thanks to a sneak peek on IMAX 3D screens this December. Paramount
Pictures will premiere nine minutes from the J.J. Abrams sequel, which carries
the impressively vague title of "Star Trek Into Darkness."
The film, which brings back a cast that includes Chris Pine and Zachary
Quinto, hits theaters on May 17, 2013.

Nine whole minutes!?

That ought to shine some lense flare onto the darkness.

It's probably the pre-credit sequence. Which was the best part of the last Star Trek movie, and I say that as a fan.

Official synopsis:

In Summer 2013, pioneering director J.J. Abrams will deliver an explosive action thriller that takes "Star Trek Into Darkness."

When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis.

With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction.

As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew.

This pretty much confirms the villain as Gary Mitchell IMO.

As FutureGuy just pointed out in the Trek forum, it could be Garth of Izar as well. I think I'd prefer Mitchell personally, but Garth might make more sense. Unlike Mitchell who acquired supernatural powers, Garth was more of a Colonel Kurtz-type character, which would fit perfectly with the Conrad-esque title and synopsis.

Wait, so the fleet's going to get completely trashed, again? Man they're going to run out of willing recruits at this rate - maybe that's why Starfleet seemed more like a military force in the reboot, everyone's a conscript

It's being picky, but I don't understand why, in Star Trek films, any ship without the name "Enterprise" is the vessel equivalent of the red-shirts & basically cannon-fodder

Faraci can be a complete ****, but this from BAD made me laugh....


Could it still be Khan? I guess. But now I have a new hope for who Benedict Cumberbatch's villain will be:

Finnegan. He was an upperclassman who tormented Kirk in the academy (in the original continuity Kirk was a big nerd in school). He - or a simulacrum of him, anyway - showed up in the episode Shore Leave, where he and Kirk fought and rolled on the ground for a good long while.

I fear the worst. More tripe with the second one.

I couldn't agree more. I just bloody ridiculous.

Interesting looking poster. Looks more Superman and Star Trek.

Bullseye1

Not sure why its bit showing up. I'll try again.

MilanPan!c

After the last Star Trek movie the villain could be the whale from Start Trek IV and I'd still be hugely excited...

Antar Bolaeisk

Looks like we're finally getting that Star Trek/Torchwood crossover we always wanted.

senordingdong

Looks like Christopher Nolan has started a trend.

Any guesses as to who that is? Though I suppose it's probably going to be Kirk. I don't mind if they're following a trend, its a pretty cool movie poster. If anything, it resembles something from Mass Effect 3.

Sad Professor

Based on the jacket, I assume it's Cumberbatch.

maquiladora

That poster...

Beneath A Steel Batmanfield 3.

livingoffline

Can't wait for the movie. And not only because I have an unhealthy obsession with Cumberbatch.:D

Goldstein

That poster reminds me of Aldiss' Non Stop. Also, why is the Guerkin one of the buildings? Is this supposed to be London?

Looking at it carefully, you're probably right. Pine's Kirk had much lighter hair.

pixelburp

Yeah, looks a lot like Cumberbatch to me, certainly going by the figure's stature and shape.
Poster looks suitably gloomy, doesn't exactly fill me with excitement; one thing I liked about ST was it bucked the trend for downbeat genre-films - it was optimistic and colourful, as ST should be.
I can also hear the Inception-style BAAAAUUUUUUUMs in my mind already.

Sad Professor

A film can have a darker tone and still be be exciting and fun to watch. JJ is a big Star Wars fan, so The Empire Strikes Back was probably an influence on the direction of this film.

This. This right here. This illustrates how little your opinion should mean to anyone. I mean, DS9!!

Sisko - the worst actor in the history of actors. He must have had some serious lung issues seeing as how he needed to inhale beyond the needs of any other human being before every word.

I watched DS9 but I never once enjoyed it. Its only redeeming feature was Dax(1&2)

I liked the new movie and i'll be looking forward to the new one despite the casting of cumberbun

wheres the dislike button, for me personally DS9 was the best start trek series, sisko is no picard by any means, but it had the biggest and best array of characters, the thing i dont get is why you watched 7 seasons of a show you didnt like,


also i do like that the hole in wall was shaped like the starfleet emblem:D:D

I know that you are not meant to say that a personal opinion is wrong but that really does test it

That and he does not like Benedict Cumberbatch!!

FutureGuy

The poster is very interesting. It's Cumberbatch's villain looking over London.

I have a feeling it's a character called Garth of Izar. An unrivalled starfleet captain who was a master tactician and explorer. He rose to fleet captain before descending into madness. The Fleet captain would probably have access to the starfleet prefix codes (used to self destruct any ship).

Going by the synopsis, it seems that Kirk loses his family early in the film, and I would even suggest that family also means Catain Pike. I think that would hold alot of weight with the audience that watched the first one as he was essentially a father figure for Kirk.
