But why does it have to be giving nods to previous movies?
Why can't it just be it's own movie?

I dunno ask JJ Abrams. He is the nods master though and perhaps because Sci-fi nerds like nods. In Star Trek: The Motion Picture ILM decided to have some fun and inserted Darth Vader and Miss Piggy into the special effects. The latest Star Trek Movie has C3PO in the debris scene.

The footage shown before The Hobbit was fairly underwhelming imo. I'd say it'll be much better in context but it mostly just kinda annoyed me, particularly

Kirk and Bones' super-speed swimming.

More footage: a 30-second teaser to be shown during the Super Bowl:

"At what?"

Looks like Cumberbatch is probably playing an "augment", which is Enterprise terminology for one of Khan's genetically engineered supermen. If so, he's a Khan-like character without being Khan himself. Would make sense based on what we know to date.

Ties in with a rumour that I'm hearing a lot.

That Noel Clarke's unnamed character is a member of the Soong family.

So the same guy that designed Data and Lore?

Interesting.

Star Trek/Star Wars crossover in the next few years?

Incredibly unlikely as it's two different studios and two different time-periods.

pixelburp · 07-02-2013 08:13AM

I'm sure it has been done in a comic somewhere; if Dr. Who had a crossover comic with Star Trek (recently!), then I'm sure SW and ST had a little moment together

I'm almost certain having a Star Trek and Star War tie-in would completely alienate most of the fans of both franchises.

FortuneChip · 07-02-2013 02:02PM

Chris Evans plays the role of both Captain America & The Human Torch.

I heard they're doing the Cross-over movie and it's pretty much going to follow the Mrs Doubtfire storyline

Sarxos · 07-02-2013 05:16PM

I've updated the Star Trek Into Darkness preview page with 5 more images released today.

07-02-2013 06:59PM

From XKCD.

Paramount have released a cool new motion poster. Link. Make sure you have sound on.

Sarxos · 19-02-2013 12:46PM

They also released a first look featurette for the film.

senordingdong · 19-02-2013 12:59PM

Hope they don't blow their load with all these snipets.

Like ST3?

Hmmm upside down union flags are a bit insulting in the trailer.

Cantona's Collars · 11-03-2013 12:33AM

New Trailer.

Well if the set-pieces of the trailer are anything to go by, it looks like very little of the action will feature (on) the Enterprise; damnit, are giant spaceships slapping at each other just not cool or exciting enough anymore?

Sarxos · 21-03-2013 10:19AM

Cool motion poster

new poster

and finally a new international trailer!

paddy kerins · 21-03-2013 01:04PM

Alice Eve...

Kinda regret watching that now, way too spoilery but, since I have...

So is Cucumberbatch Section 31 instead of being an Augment (or maybe an augment working in Section 31) and it does look like it's the Enterprise (ncc-1701) crashing into the ocean afterall

21-03-2013 01:55PM

Yeah, I kinda regret watching it too. They gave away some of the mystery behind Cumberbatch's character -

One of Starfleet's top agents?

The fact that he was referred to Harrison as being an

agent

and not an

officer

is very interesting to me and I might be getting an idea about the meat of the film that is laid over the action skeleton.

Actual plot spoilers and conjecture ahead

In the opening scenes, Kirk breaks the Prime Directive and is demoted for his actions. Kirk was punished for rebelling against Starfleet and what Starfleet are about. If Harrison is an "agent", he is almost certainly a part of Section 31 - an organization that officially does not exist and who do the dirty work necessary. Perhaps Harrsion rebels against Starfleet when he is asked to do something he finds morally abhorrent. Just like Kirk, he is rebelling against what Starfleet are about. There seems to be a great parallel present.
