What a week this is going to be, with the premiere of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and all of the trailers that will be premiering with it, including the second movie in the the J.J. Abrams Star Trek franchise reboot, Star Trek Into Darkness less than two weeks away. In support of that movie, Paramount has released the first official poster for the movie. Behold:
Sort of a mashup of The Dark Knight Rises and maybe some evil Superman? That’s okay, we’ll take it, analyze the heck out of it, and savor it until we get more – like the first nine minutes, ahead of the IMAX screening of The Hobbit. Giant squee!
“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 Into Darkness, starring Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Benedict Cumberbatch, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana, John Cho, Simon Pegg, and Anton Yelchin, is slated to hit theaters on May 17, 2013.
