Star Trek 2 - Gorgeous Teaser!

We finally have our first real look at the next adventure in Star Trek Into Darkness... and it's a super epic one!

The above teaser trailer shows Cumberbatch “one man weapon of mass destruction”, with his powerful voice over accompanying an imagery of destruction, fear, and the iconic Enterprise crashing into the surface of Earth.

Although story details have remained under the radar and top security, (well as I like to think so) what we do know thanks to the official Star Trek Into Darkness plot synopsis, the crew of the Enterprise will be pitted against Benedict Cumberbatch’s after Starfleet suffers a major blow. 

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.

Star Trek 2 full trailer releases next week with The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Moviegoers who check out The Hobbit in IMAX will get to see a 9 minute preview.

Release Date: May 17, 2013

Star Trek 2 - J.J. Abrams Commits to Directing

J.J. Abrams has officially committed to directing the sequel to the 2009 reboot of Star Trek. Vulture Magazine reports they will start shooting in the winter. We all eventually knew he would step back behind the camera for a sequel to his hugely popular Star Trek movie. But when his delay in committing outright caused Paramount to switch the sequel's planned release date of late June 2012 with that of the G.I. Joe 2 many began to get a little worried that he may not get to direct the movie.

The entire main cast of the first movie are set to return but we know very little about the plot. All we really do know for certain is that this will not be a remake or reboot of Wrath Of Khan as many fans thought it might be.

"Vulture can confirm that J.J. Abrams has finally committed to shooting Star Trek 2. Insiders familiar with the director's plans tell Vulture that pre-production is underway, that the script will be done by month's end and that Abrams will start shooting this winter."
