Summer blockbuster season continues with Star Trek Into Darkness, which is now out in theaters. Take a peek at all the pictures of stars Chris Pine, Benedict Cumberbatch, Zoe Saldana, Zachary Quinto, and Simon Pegg, and if you want to see the gang in motion, check out the trailer!
We're inching steadily closer to the May 13 release date of Star Trek Into Darkness, and we keep getting more excited about the action-packed sequel. The latest source of fun is these cool new posters that highlight the individual characters. Click through to see cast members Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, and Zoe Saldana, along with the brand-new villain played by Benedict Cumberbatch.
Zachary Quinto, Chris Pine, and Zoe Saldana are outgunned and outnumbered in the full trailer for Star Trek Into Darkness. Benedict Cumberbatch plays the new baddie, and this trailer gives a lot more details about his mysterious character than the last teaser. He's a former top agent out for vengeance after his commanders commit a crime he apparently cannot forgive. Thus, he takes out his anger by attacking London, then assures our old Star Fleet friends that none of them is safe. The new trailer also gives us a lot more footage of Cumberbatch's well-laid plans and the action that follows.
Star Trek Into Darkness, with its murderous villain, looks like it has a more serious undertone than its 2009 predecessor. I can't wait to see Cumberbatch go into full-on bad-guy mode — while some are used to seeing him as the snarky Sherlock Holmes in Sherlock, he seems to have the evil thing down pat. The movie is due in theaters May 17, and you can watch the new trailer after the jump.
Earlier this month, we got a sneak peek at Star Trek Into Darkness, which essentially indicates that our old pals Kirk (Chris Pine) and Spock (Zachary Quinto) are in for some trouble, courtesy of a brand-new bad guy played by Benedict Cumberbatch. Now we've got another trailer to dissect, which offers up a little more information. Namely, we see that Spock is still going strong with Nyota (Zoe Saldana), and that he's forced to make a decision for the good of his family — but we don't see exactly which family member is in danger. Overall, it's a little more scary, and a lot more intense, which should hold us over until a full trailer arrives.

The Star Trek Into Darkness poster that we saw the other day hinted that villain Benedict Cumberbatch was going to have a taste for destruction, and this brand-new footage confirms just how nasty he's going to be. In this teaser, we finally get a look at the Star Trek sequel and what Captain Kirk (Chris Pine) and Spock (Zachary Quinto) will be up to, and by the looks of things, it's running from Cumberbatch's character. He's the only person who has any dialogue in this peek, and as he preaches about vengeance and the world not being safe, we see the characters we got to know in the first film, including Uhura (Zoe Saldana), and Sulu (John Cho), along with new faces like Alice Eve.
It's fun to be reunited with the familiar characters, but everyone's in such mortal danger that I'm hoping that there's some fun to this sequel. I can't complain too much — this does look pretty exciting, and I'm curious to get a better look at the insane creature director J.J. Abrams has come up with this time. Star Trek Into Darkness comes out May 17, and you can watch the teaser after the jump.
Star Trek Into Darkness will descend into theaters next Spring, but there's still a lot we don't know about the sequel, like Benedict Cumberbatch's role (we know he's the villain, but we don't know who his character is — or how bad he is). This new poster, however, gives us a little bit of insight, showing Cumberbatch's character standing over a destroyed London (framed by the iconic Star Trek symbol). The imagery is also evocative of the sequel's title — if that's not darkness, I don't know what is. This is getting me excited for the movie's May 17 release, and I want to hear your thoughts and theories about this poster, too. Weigh in and see a bigger version after the jump.
Star Trek 2 costars Chris Pine and Zoe Saldana hopped on the back of a golf cart in LA yesterday and got a ride to the set. The pair arrived in their street clothes, though last week we saw Zoe battling enemies in her sexy uniform. Zachary was also on location and ready for another day of work on the J.J. Abrams directed sequel. He was spotted leaving the makeup trailer in his trademark Spock ears and looking over his lines.
The weekend gave Zoe, Chris, and Zachary a break from filming long enough to enjoy and participate in the official end to award season. Chris made an appearance at the Independent Spirit Awards on Saturday while Zachary walked the red carpet at Sunday's Oscar ceremony. Zoe slipped into a Marios Schwab party dress, and hung out with boyfriend Bradley Cooper at Vanity Fair's annual post-Oscar bash.
The highly anticipated Star Trek 2 from director J.J. Abrams began production earlier this month, and Tuesday we got a glimpse of two of the film's stars, Zachary Quinto and Zoe Saldana, filming green-screen fight sequences in LA. The sequel, now scheduled for a May 2013 release, has been delayed multiple times due to scheduling conflicts and setbacks with the script. We do know the main crew is returning with Chris Pine, Anton Yelchin, Simon Pegg, John Cho, Zoe, and Zachary resuming their positions within Star Fleet. Newcomer Benedict Cumberbatch, seen fighting with Zachary, is also joining the ranks, though no word on his role — are you getting excited for the sequel?
Since 2009, the stars have been busy with other acting projects. Most recently Zoe debuted The Words at Sundance with boyfriend Bradley Cooper while Chris teamed up with Reese Witherspoon and Tom Hardy in the romantic spy thriller This Means War. Zachary did some work on the small screen playing a ghost on FX's chilling primetime drama American Horror Story.
