Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)

[Michael*]

Yep, that's going to be the title.

http://trekmovie.com...itle-confirmed/

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 yet.

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.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

YES

I already have my costume ready for the midnight premiere xD

[Michael*]

I'm half expecting the third movie to be called 'Star Trekking Across The Universe' now.

It's only a name though. The first film was great and I'm expecting big things from this one too.

[Ophelia_Immortal]

as a ToS fan, it was amazing!

I'm counting down the days!

[ILUVAdrianaLima]

Ah sweet...so it's official now I was greatly pleased with the last installment so I hope this next coming film keeps up with those expectations.

Thx for the news amigo.

So I guess understandably, the plot details are being kept under wraps for now. It's confirmed though that Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Simon Pegg, John Cho and Anton Yelchin are all coming back (no word on Zoe Saldana or Karl Urban as of yet). And best of all, Benedict Cumberbatch is known to be playing the villain.

[Ophelia_Immortal]

Karl and Zoe are both confirmed, actually.

and yay Benedict

They say he might be playing Gary Mitchell or Khan.

I really wanted him to play Trelane but that's not happening

[Michael*]

That's a relief. The article I read had me worried when it only mentioned the other five.

If they do decide to use Khan for this movie, I'd quite like to see him as a closer representation of what the nineties were actually like as opposed to what Gene Roddenberry predicted way back when. A coffee drinking Nirvana and X-Files fan with a goatee beard, maybe.

A terrifying vision of the '90s Nietzschean 'superman' ideal attacking the Enterprise. Say it isn't so, Michael*?!

[Michael*]

I think I speak for JJ Abrams when I say - why the hell not!? And if they need a grumpy older brother, I know the perfect person to play him. Of course, they'll have to use a bit of CGI to make up the height difference.

I hope it's at least as good as the first one -- sequels have a bad reputation.

[Michael*]

So word on the street is that STID will be receiving a mini-adventure prequel in comic book form. Apparently, it'll run for four issues and set the scene for the movie. For anyone interested, here be the cover of issue one...

[Ophelia_Immortal]

aw no

there goes my money

[Kevork89]

I'm super excited for this. First one was amazing. And I've watched it like at least 10 times. So hopefully the 2nd will be the same. I love Zoe and Chris, as you can tell by my dp

A rather cryptic plot synopsis posted recently by Paramount...

When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organisation 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.

Gary Mitchell then?

[Kevork89]

Small teaser. I'm so excited

Yeah, it looks the same to me. From what I understand, there's an 'announcement' trailer doing the rounds now and a 'full' trailer to be released on December 17th.
