Star Trek Into Darkness

JJ Abrams's Star Trek sequel has been handed a pre-Memorial Weekend release date of May 17, 2013.

Paramount has pushed back the release of Roland Emmerich's blockbuster Singularity to November 1 in order to accommodate the highly-anticipated Star Trek follow-up.

The untitled movie will also be filmed and released in 3D, reports Deadline.

Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Anton Yelchin and Simon Pegg are all expected to reprise their roles in the sequel.

Benicio Del Toro has allegedly been offered the villain role in Abrams's second Star Trek instalment.

I love hype and teasers when it's about a film I'm really excited about:dance:

Wow, ages away :/

Really liked the first one as well

Filming has begun on JJ Abrams's Star Trek sequel.

Paramount Pictures has announced that principal photography has begun in Los Angeles on the untitled follow-up to the 2009 movie.

The film sees Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, Anton Yelchin, John Cho and Bruce Greenwood reprise their roles following Abrams's acclaimed reboot of the long-running science fiction property.

They will be joined by new cast members including Benedict Cumberbatch, Alice Eve, Noel Clarke, Peter Weller and Nazneen Contractor.

Eve has said she is excited to be reunited with her Starter For 10 co-star Cumberbatch, who is reportedly playing the unnamed villain in the film.

The film is due for release on May 17, 2013.

Edit: Benedict Cumberbatch?! Never expected him in Star Trek haha

TrekMovie has an update on our earlier story regarding the title for the Star Trek sequel We can now confirm the title that has been chosen by JJ Abrams and Paramount for the 2013 movie.

Sequel title: "Star Trek Into Darkness"

TrekMovie has confirmed with multiple sources that "Star Trek Into Darkness" has been selected as the title for the 2013 sequel to JJ Abrams’ Star Trek movie. This is a title that comes out of a long process of discussion amongst the creative team. As reported earlier, Paramount tested a number of titles for the film over the summer, including at least one title that did not include "Star Trek." Also noted in our earlier article, the title (by design) does not include a colon, like were used for the Next Generation films such as "Star Trek: First Contact" or "Star Trek: Nemesis."

While Paramount will not officially confirm the news, multiple sources have told TrekMovie this is the title they are going with as of now. It has also been reported by ComingSoon that Paramount has secured the domain names to both www.startrekintodarkness.com and www.startrekintodarknessmovie.com, neither of which has any content.

As for the title itself, "Into Darkness" does not reveal anything specific about the plot. So for those who were hoping for "Star Trek Khan" or "The Revenge of Gary Mitchell" you are out of luck. However, "Into Darkness" certainly gives us a hint that this film could have a serious tone and perhaps darker theme than the 2009 Star Trek film. On the other hand the title is also evocative of Star Trek’s core mission of going into the “darkness” of space, to seek out new life and new civilizations. Of course the current Trek team often point to Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy as inspiration, with the second film in that series being titled "The Dark Knight" which itself had some very dark themes. Is this Trek sequel Star Trek’s "Dark Knight"? As that film grossed $1B world wide, I imagine Paramount is certainly hoping it is.

According to sources, the creative team are still working on how they will officially roll out this new title. The first acknowledgement will likely be made with some kind of visual treatment, either a type treatment for the title or possibly even a teaser poster or image. Indications are that this official roll out should be coming soon.

I like the name, at first it sounds weird, but then you realise that "Star Trek" is actually part of the title and not just the main title (like Star Trek: First Contact/Star Trek Insurrection were)

Bit of a random title :suspect:

I assume it has some plot relevance, since the title is about a literal star trek into darkness lol

I like the title. Benicio Del Toro would have been an amazing villain, but Cumberbatch will do... :D

Haven't seen the first one yet (when I say first one I mean of this era)

It's a lot more actiony the old Trek, but it revolutionises the series. Also it's a semi-reboot, it's bascially about an alternate timeline, with only Old Spock connecting the two.

Kirk's badge in this clip reminds me of the TNG ones

looks good hope it isnt too heavy on the effects though i prefer some kind of story.

really liked the first one. miles better than all the other trek movies which really suck

I liked a few of the earlier ST films, but 2009 was the first one that felt like an actual film.

Benedict Cumberbatch's Star Trek Into Darkness villain has been named in a new official picture.

The latest peek at the upcoming movie features Chris Pine's Captain Kirk, Zachary Quinto's Spock and Cumberbatch as a character called John Harrison.

The official Paramount caption for the image reads: "(Left to right) Zachary Quinto is Spock, Benedict Cumberbatch is John Harrison and Chris Pine is Kirk in Star Trek Into Darkness from Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions."

There is no major character in the Star Trek canon called John Harrison, leading many fans to speculate that the moniker may be a red herring or a smokescreen to hide his real identity.

A full-length trailer for the film is expected to be released on December 17, following the announcement teaser that recently surfaced.

Star Trek Into Darkness, which is due for release on May 17, 2013, is directed by JJ Abrams and written by Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and Damon Lindelof.

John Cho, Bruce Greenwood, Simon Pegg, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban and Anton Yelchin reprise their roles from the 2009 movie in the sequel. Alice Eve and Peter Weller have joined alongside Cumberbatch.

Cumberbatch has said of his role: "He is very ruthless… He is not a clearly good or evil character. He is a villain but the action he takes has intent and reason."

cue Tumblr fangirls going crazy over Cumonmybatch

He does look to be a good villain though, much better than the last film's Techno-Romulan, lol.
