I think the poster is an abysmal failure (from a Star Trek standpoint)...but that may be exactly what they're looking for. I see strong efforts to actually hide the fact that it's a Star Trek movie...no obvious iconography, pallette, or familiar faces. Even the word's "Star Trek" are the faintest ones on the page. The only reason I knew this was a Star Trek poster is because the Star Trek site posted it on facebook. In a theater, I would have walked right on by thinking it was some generic Tom Cruise sci-fi.

I think a lot of people are not going to notice the symbol in the rubble. It does seem like marketing it as Star Trek isn't a priority.
I still love the posters for Star Trek (2009).
Looking forward to the next one, anyways.

Mini SPOILER ALERT!
Trek Today have a link to the first trailer. Nothing major, but if you are trying to avoid visuals, leave this be.
Personally? Having see the trailer I take solice that this is not my Trek, far from it. I'm def a follower of the Prime Universe, but this does not inspire me at all.
Mr B - your comment about seeing the Starfleet Delta in the rubble, I fell about laughing. I've been a Trek fan for 25 years - and didn't realise that's was what was going on till I read your comments!
This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?
Some interesting speculation from Total Film featuring twenty three stills from the teaser trailer. Including speculation on who Benedict Cumberbatch is playing.
A nine minute preview of Star Trek Into Darkness was screened at London's BFI IMAX this morning ahead of select IMAX screenings of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Producer Bryan Burk and stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Alice Eve were in attendance. The article goes into detail on the footage.
Star Trek The Video Game will officially be released on 23rd April 2013 for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC. Set in the new canon of award winning director JJ Abrams' Star Trek (2009) reboot, this epic action adventure features an original storyline and provides immersive co-op gameplay featuring Kirk and Spock. Click on the link below for cover art and screenshots.
Star Trek Into Darkness features in the new issue of Empire Magazine, on sale 27th December. As well as the two covers, there is a comprehensive breakdown of the teaser trailer, exclusive interviews with JJ Abrams and his cast, and one or two more intriguing titbits on Benedict Cumberbatch's villain.
An article from the Mail Online featuring numerous official stills from Star Trek Into Darkness. Also, Benedict Cumberbatch talks about his terrorist character, John Harrison.
Star Trek Into Darkness will feature an appearance by the Klingons, director JJ Abrams has confirmed. "We had shot some stuff that had Klingons in (our first Star Trek film), and we cut the scene. It's a deleted scene on the DVD. But they're back in this one."
The UK release of Star Trek Into Darkness has been brought forward from the 17th to 9th May. Paramount Pictures has not yet revealed if the US release will also be brought forward. In US theatres, it is still set to open on the 17th May, with some screenings in IMAX theatres starting two days earlier.
I know some Fans don't like the reboot, But I can't wait I
think it looks brilliant and I loved the Last Star Trek.
Your optimism seems well founded, Thunderpussy. There was a special screening of the first 28 minutes (plus two further scenes from later on) at the London IMAX a couple of days ago. The reaction from those present appears very positive. Benedict Cumberbatch is described as being utterly mesmerising in the article below. Bringing an intensity to every scene, even the briefest appearances.
A new International Trailer for Star Trek Into Darkness. Visually, it looks impressive. There's a couple of clues regarding Benedict Cumberbatch's villainous character.
A Star Trek Into Darkness Viral Video in which Benedict Cumberbatch (as John Harrison) narrates and predicts Captain Kirk will make the mistake that kills his entire crew. "And I......I will make sure of it."
The Mail has a new exclusive clip from Star Trek Into Darkness, in which Chris Pine's Captain Kirk confronts Benedict Cumberbatch's villainous character John Harrison.
