Heads Up!! A STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS Trailer Appears Online And Officially Tomorrow (December 6)!!
THIS piece at TrekMovie confirms multiple indications that a roughly one minute long teaser for JJ's new STAR TREK movie will debut online tomorrow (December 6).
Said teaser will share some content with a separate full length (2 minuteish) trailer which will release on December 14.
According to a source, there is overlap in what footage is shown in the two trailers (December 6th online teaser and longer December 14th trailer in theaters), but each also has unique footage as well.
..says TrekMovie.
A third promo will also be issued December 14 - 9 full minutes of STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS, which'll debut in front of some IMAX screenings of THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY.
We'll post these for you as soon as they become available...

Oh god here come all the faggy whiners and their lens flare jokes
by DoctorZoidberg
Or maybe we can get some more Star Trek 2 electric bugaboo jokes. Pathetic unoriginal motherfuckers

While STINO somehow lives on. And don't try rehashing the same "I'm not a fan of Sci-Fi, but I loooooooved this" bullshit. Because Beastie Boys. Because cartoon Kirk hands. Because brewery as engine room. Because "Spock" sucking "Uhura's" face and petting her ass. STINO is an unmitigated disaster for one of the gold standard science fiction franchises.
-
Can't nerds just be happy for something for once. No! Miserable fucks!

Never watched any of the others, so my opinion doesn't matter, but... I thought the first movie was a nice, enjoyable popcorn movie that had the set-up for a great universe.

Here is why walking dead is better than any show that has ever existed including Star Trek:
by UltraTron
It's a an ongoing comic taken from an ongoing comic. Compared to most shows where all they have is what the writer comes up with- walking dead has already been a cinematic narrative that works in comic form before it ever gets re-created in film form. I mean Rick's kid gave a look like Rick and is absolutely Rick's kid. I usually hate kids on screen but this one is becoming bad as fuck! These characters live and breathe like nothing ever done in the medium. It's not tv either. It's just a blockbuster movie that keeps going. Rarely does it waste time. Walking Dead is my new Star Trek. It boldly goes. We see humans reacting exactly as they would to circumstances presented. They organically grow the situations -the characters are now becoming my new away team dream team. It's the best thing ever done. Compare to any other show and you're talking tv shows. Walking dead is not a tv show. It is what happens when comics are translated to film with no constraints on the source. Perfect entertainment.

by DVaderRIP
If Cavills hairline continues to go North, we won't be able to tell Superman and Lex Luthor apart.

And that first 10 minutes was just a punch to the gut. I STILL shed a tear and I've probably seen it 30 times. The more the "true Trekkies" whine, the more I love it. You can have your shitty movies and campy TV shows. I'll take Abrams' Trek over any other incarnation any day of the week.

The first teaser for Star Trek didn't include any footage from the movie.
by Royston Lodge
And it was an awesome teaser. Does the fact that they aren't going the same route with this teaser say anything about the movie itself?
-
I'll take a lens flare over shakey cam anyday of the week and twice on Sunday. I love the original ST and I really like the new JJ ST too. Stop all the hating you dipshits. You know you will be in the seats for ST 2. You know it.

I never noticed the lens flare until I logged on to the internet AFTER seeing the movie.

If it wasn't for the internet pointing out the excessive use of lens flare, I never would have noticed that Abrams used lens flare a lot. Thanks Internet.

In the sequel, phasers will have a third setting, ''BLAOW.''
by spacehog
The little light thingy on the phaser will be purple and when fired, will operate like the kill setting except a voice will loudly declare ''BLAOW'' when the trigger is pulled. No one in the movie will find this unusual.

Remember wondering if the cop in the first one was a robot? In this one we find out he was a ghost.
by spacehog
A ghost played by Anton Yelchin. Cumberbatch, it turns out, is playing the real Chekov. Turns out the ''voice identification'' gag in the first one wasn't a joke about pronouncing the letter V so much as a clue to the sequel.
-
Dec. 5, 2012, 11:09 a.m. CST
Cumberbatch -- the real Chekov -- is pushing stars around to spell out U R MR GAY, a message for the false Chekov-ghost.
by spacehog
Kirk must stop his mad galaxy-rearranging and discover the terrible secret of the robot-ghost-Chekov, who is actually a time-traveling Sulu, back from the future and modified with plastic surgery and also dead and a robot for reasons that will become clear.
-
Dec. 5, 2012, 11:14 a.m. CST
Chekov-robot-ghost-Sulu is trying to prevent 9/11, which was an inside job, but as seen in the first movie is desperately stupid.
by spacehog
He manages to time-travel but not to the correct time. At some point he dies, is transferred to a robot body, then dies again, then pretends to be Chekov because of reasons.
-
How come no one ever mentions that? :(

by Gary Makin
Sorry.

Sorry.

A camera that MOVES around for NO REASON. EX: Battle LA, RED DAWN. Its one thing to havea gittery camery during action scenes. I get that. That makes the scene more "action packed" and intense than it really is. but when people are just sitting arround talking. and the camera is still moving arround. I dont get that. Try that with a home movie and you're just a bad videographer. .... And you people complain about lense flares?

I'm not gonna talk smack about lens flare, only about JJ and the Supreme Court destroying what shred of dignity Trek had left!
by MoPea

But, a quick aside, the reason flares are good: if you can match them properly, live-action to fx shots, it sells the fx just that much more (in the same way that motion-tracking fx into hand-held footage has). Onward... --Any time Christine is in the dark and turns on her headlights. --Any time they show up in The Thing --Opening Credits of The Fog --Basically anytime John Carpenter chose to utilize them. --The music-cued one in Die Hard when someone's looking for the C4-rigged roof (can't remember if it was McClane or Gruber hunting around). --Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Vanger introducing the wall of Flower Prints to Blomquist. --Close Encounters' UFO phantasmagoria. --Every goddamn special effect involving Spinners in Blade Runner. Bonus Quiz: Anyone know which format produces said flares? Anamorphic. Why? They contain many more glass elements to optically squeeze the image, so light is bouncing/refracting more before it hits the film plane, plus lenses weren't specially coated in the 70s/80s heyday of filmmaking; also, this is why flares stretch horizontally; ALSO-also why, when rack focusing, whatever is out of focus, looks oval, rather than circular.

Brian Cox is shining a light into the camera in several scenes.
by Denty420
Scoop.
-
Man, you are on my team, I've been decrying this kind of bullshit for years and actually got into an argument with a very intelligent writer who proclaimed that he liked his visual effects to not be realistic. To me, that's just crazy. My most un-favorite type of effect is the stupid flyby: ...wherein a massive flying whatever flies RIGHT by a camera that seems to be hovering in the air -- like, the WING of the thing passes within inches of the lense and barely disrupts the actual physical properties of the air. Even Zemeckis is guilty of this in "Contact". It's why I thought the FX in Star Trek 2009 were so good, and so did the Academy: the camerawork felt real, the ships felt large in proportion to the virtual lense, I think it was a jump forward in terms of space stuff. Put all the prequel stuff to shame.

You haters just hate to be assholes. Star Trek 11 was a fucking great movie and you know it.

I will be straight up shocked if Cumberbatch is playing Gary Mitchell. He's Khan, guys. Why would J.J. use a villain no one outside of fandom knows from an episode with real philosophy instead of a standard revenge plot with everyone's favorite superhuman from the highest-regarded Trek film to date? Only the starfleet uniform is in question...J.J. on overtime misinformation? I mean I hope I'm wrong. It would be really cool to see Mitchell psychically destroy Federation HQ like Akira or Son of Looper.

Re: I Was Perfectly Okay With The Lens Flares ...
by ArmageddonProductions
... it was the godawful storytelling I had a huge problem with. Ever see ALIEN, POLTERGEIST or anything shot by Dean Cundey? Those movies were fucking FULL of lens flares; it's a by-product of shooting direct light sources in 2.39:1 widescreen (or, if you will, Panavision) or greater (for example, Douglas Trumbull's trademark lens flares on his visual FX shots were mostly caused by shooting plates in 70mm and "downgrading" to 35mm to reduce film grain on multi-pass matte shots). All Abrahms was doing was aping those by-products. Why, I don't know. Now, everybody's doing it, mostly on FX shots and it's all John Knoll Light Factory plugin FX. Much more importantly, you assholes just need to stop going to see his movies and maybe they'll stop doing that stupid shit.

AGREED, bubba gillman and, in addition, to the guy who keeps posting "Jaime Foxx is still Electro : (" in every god-damned thread...
by Mikey Wood
...you can stop that, too.
-
-- First, thanks for even knowing the proper aspect ratio of Panavision, 2:39, as opposed to 2:35. (Even Carpenter has called it Panavision...which I don't get, because Panavision also made spherical lenses...). --But: Trumbull's were NOT made by downgrading 70mm-to-35mm. True, that process was done to reduce film grain. However, lens flares are achieved in the original photography, through the lens, and this was achieved in Trumbull's facility via photographing light passes in smoke rooms. 'Downgrading' (reduction) is simply rephotographing on an optical printer to the desired format and doesn't involve interaction between set light and lens. --Agreed on the Knoll Light Factory plugin. It looks fake most of the time because it's so rock solid, nothing jiggles the way actual light refraction does, no matter what scale you're working in.

Are you saying he was dropping false b.s. to throw us off? Not likely. I think he is Mitchell, friend of Kirk, gains awesome Jean/Grey Dark Phoenix powers and obliterates Star Fleet. How freaking awesome would that scene be.

the insufferably endless lens flare comments/jokes for the next year-- dudes seriously we ALL understand your points already; everyone does. Everyone. Move on to something important-- like bitching for the next 14 years about shooting The Hobbit in 48 fps vs 24 fps. Please begin an endless multi-year tirade about that, because I just haven't had enough already of that either, and I haven't even seen The Hobbit yet. Please continue to bore me. Or, go buy some decent clothing, go to a gym and find some girl willing to put up with you and maybe even fuck you, and discover a whole new dimension to life.

Stop the lens flares! People are being killed in accidents!
by Darth Macchio
First it was 8-track tapes. Then it was newspapers. Then eating twinkies. Putting on make-up or writing that long overdue novel. Then came car phones. Then came text messaging. And what's next? The ultimate killer! Lens flares. Yep - most highways are built with a compass orientation so on auspicious days of the year, there are more accidents. Solstices, etc...people get into more crashes due to driving directly towards a rising or setting sun - ie LENS FLARES!!!! see...lens flares kill people. this is serious.
-
As this is 3D I doubt we'll have lens flares (well, REAL lens flares, rather than using post FX). Do they make sense in 3D with the lens set-up - any techie people know? Surely you'd get into the situation where you might be getting lens flare on one lens, but not the other - totally screwing up the shot?

Am I the only one who would have no problem with it if the new trek starred the original cast or TNG cast, even at their age?
by wcolbert
I'd rather watch 80 year old kirk and spock (stranger things have happened in the trek universe than a man coming back to life, people...)...in all honesty, wrinkles, grey hair, dentures and all...than watch a bunch of younger guys playing them playing a character. I know, Leonard is in it...but i mean I'd rather they had not even gone with a younger generation if the story was to involve the original enterprise crew. Mind you I can see why they would - to introduce Trek to a new generation and to generate more views from younger audiences who never watched the original series...but still. I'd rather they had just set the thing in the future and had all new characters, and then used that to kick start a new series. Actually, I can see someone like Sam Neill playing a captain of a future Enterprise. He's got plenty of presence at any rate - I'm sure there are better choices but meh, just an idea. And yes I know James Doohan passed...but hey, we have the technology now to have a cg scotty cameo (though I'd rather just write his departure into the movie). Meh. I'm still looking forward to the new one. Just saying, nothing wrong with having an old crew. Not exactly a physically demanding job, sitting in a chair and saying "engage", is it?
-
You hating cunts deserve Brannon Braga.
-
I enjoyed 2, 4, and 6 with the original series cast and Generations with a majority of TNG cast, but I liked J.J.'s Trek better than almost any of them. WOK is the only only one I would put ahead.
-
my favorite is when they have objects fly straight through the camera. It likes holding up a giant sign to the audience "this shot is CGI in case you didn't notice". How anyone could think that makes a shot look cool I will never know.
-
I am truly curious as to why that is. JJs trek was just mediocre to me....and simply not as good as WOK, TVH, or TUC simply because of a fairly stupid script in comparison to the old trek films...which for any flaws, had smart scripts....and had good ideas and used their stories to explore things about us as human beings, or were analogies to things going on in the real world....pretty much what Star Trek is about. JJs trek simply did not have that, and was way too busy trying very hard to be Star Wars (which trek is not). And lets not even get started on the ridiculous coincedences in the film.....

So funny to read these posts...

taste etc...and if you simply like his writing then by all means...more power to you...but how by any objective measure can you call him and the rest of the "BRAIN TRUST" inc Kurtzman and Lindelof good writers....these are the guys that between them wrote....Revenge of the fallen, the Legend of Zorro, Prometheus, Cowboys and Aliens to name just a few.....I think you would be hard pressed to find many people that could say those films were well written....

to generally have piss poor scripts...

as I am a lifelong tre fan, and I would love for these guys to make a great trek film. And if nothing else at least they did produce one good script imho...MI3...nothing amazing, but pretty solid.

The best writing in the last 15 years are so has been on the small screen. Plus, it's just fucking rude to trash a guy who you know posts on here.

The only difference between JJ Trek and every other incarnation...
by FannyPad
Is that JJ Trek was mildly entertaining garbage as opposed to woefully boring garbage, seemingly tailored for virgins.
-
If JJ Trek is a bad movie, then what category do those two and Generations fall into. Just sayin'.

Who returned from where to get his revenge on who?

That would be lame, but it would tie into the borg cube in the poster if that's what it is.
-
While I admit I'd prefer an original adventure/exploration pure sci-fi story, this does look pretty fucking awesome - I'm impressed and cannot wait! To me, it does indeed look like it's going to be Gary Mitchell. The blonde chick looks exactly like Elizabeth Dehner. I think JJ may have another hit on his hands.
-
Villain was so lame in Generations that I didn't even remember how to spell it. Maybe Kirk can kill him this time instead of falling off a bridge like a lame ass.
-
Let me count the lens flares! Eh, actually, I don't know what to think, except as others have noted Cumber does good voice over! ;-)
-
Okay... so it's Gary Mitchell, right? Star Fleet shirt and Elizabeth Dehner lookalike... but mostly, this looks even further away from TOS than ever.
-
I enjoyed that JJ's movie showed respect to the old series while opening the door to tell new stories within the Star Trek canon. Just a personal preference I guess. I fully admit I sometimes enjoy movies I don't really have to fully think about.

On TNG, they had a button labeled GNDN: Goes Nowhere, Does Nothing. They should have slapped that label on this trailer. What did we really see? Some mass destruction scenes, a villain promising vengeance, and some extremely quick shots of crew reactions. Mass destruction has been done to death as a gimmick already thanks to the likes of Michael Bay, and let us not forget in the first film an entire planet was destroyed. This tells us nothing substantive about the real plot of the film and the crew's relationship to it. Not to say it won't be a perfectly fine movie, but this trailer was crap.

Announced as a TEASER. Not a trailer. And yes, there is a difference. And you know what the differences are so don't do the contrarian thing. Teasers aren't meant to give you story and character relationships, it's the equivalent of the tiny spoon tasters they give you at frozen yogurt/ice cream places. Anyway, the trailer's arriving in like 10 days, so settle, you'll get your jujubies soon enough.

Gave just enough without giving away anything. This is what trailers should be.
