I can’t get enough Star Trek Into Darkness at the moment. The superb teaser trailers and Super Bowl TV Spot had me frothing at the mouth and wanting more. Aside from looking like one of the best Star Trek films ever, my craving for all things Into Darkness is fuelled by a promo campaign that cleverly leaves a lot to the imagination and key questions unanswered – like the identify of the villain. Well played, J.J. Abrams and Paramount.
Some new images from the film have been released. They don’t reveal much either, but complement nicely what’s come before. The pick of the bunch: our yet-to-be-revealed villain (played by Benedict Cumberbatch and currently know as John Harrison) looking pensive while surrounded by Starfleet Officers in red shirts. We all know what wearing a red shirt does for a character’s life expectancy in Star Trek, so I doubt what’s he’s planning bodes well for his captors. Poor chaps, they were doomed the moment they stepped out of wardrobe.
Star Trek Into Darkness warps into New Zealand cinemas on 16 May.
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.
Directed by J.J. Abrams, the film stars Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Benedict Cumberbatch, Alice Eve, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, Anton Yelchin, John Cho, Peter Weller, Nolan North, and Bruce Greenwood.
