The first trailer of the upcoming Star Trek movie, titled Star Trek: Into Darkness, has just hit the airwaves. And if the one minute preview is any indication, it seems that JJ Abrams is sticking to the same combination of carnage and explosions that made the first movie such a hit. Not much is made clear about the exact plot from the trailer, but it does seem to indicate that Earth itself will be threatened by some “awakened evil” intent on getting revenge.
Star Trek geeks, I invite you to plumb this one for some hint as to what the reference material could be. Is Abrams combing the original series for an enemy and a plot arc, or is this something entirely new? Should we all just wait and enjoy the movie when it comes out? Okay then! Enjoy the trailer too…

Captain, we are picking up people in costumes coming out of their parents’ basements.
Watch the slightly longer Japanese trailer. I was all “Noooooo!They can’t kill Spock again!” I can’t take it.

Guess they’ll have to bring him back again, huh? Must be in his contract. “Spock must die in each second installment and be resurrected in the the third.”
does that web address say topless robot or do I need new glasses?
It does indeed. But that’s just a name.
lol, it does…
That told me nothing………..
*sigh*
The Japenese trailer has an additional 12 seconds.
As for the enemy, I’m pretty sure my original guess of Khan is wrong. It looks like the proponents of Hary Mitchell are correct.
Who is Harry Mitchell? You’ll have to forgive me, I never got into the original show.
Sorry, I meant Gary Mitchell.
In the convoluted beginning of the show there was the original pilot with Captain Pike, the first episode actually aired, and the pilot with Captain Kirk.
Gary Mitchell was the antagonist of the pilot with Kirk. He was the helmsman of the Enterprise. When attempting to penetrate the galactic barrier he was changed and began to realize the full potential of the powers of the mind (i.e. telepathy, telekinesis, all the other tele’s). He–and the medical officer who also began to develop powers–began to view other humans as inferior.
Is it just me, or did most of that trailer *not* take place in space? Isn’t Star Trek supposed to be a space movie? Although I think I same an alien planet or two in there, which bodes well 🙂
Looking forward to the movie!
looks wicked to me!
Looking forward to the next installment.
