As you now, The Blot loves everything J.J. Abrams directs, lens flairs and all! Throw in a story by Damon Lindelof, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman and Star Trek Into Darkness is destined to be one of my favorite movies of 2013. Abrams’ original Star Trek film was pretty much perfect, so it’ll be interesting to see if the extremely long hiatus between installments in Paramount’s signature franchise will hurt Into Darkness.
Thankfully the entire crew of the USS Enterprise will be returning for Star Trek Into Darkness, including Chris Pine as Captain Kirk, Zachary Quinto as Spock, Zoe Saldana as Uhura, Simon Pegg as Scotty, Anton Yelchin as Chekov, and newcomer Benedict Cumberbatch as…well, we’re not sure yet. He’s definitely the film’s villain but exactly which old school Star Trek character he’ll be is anyone’s guess.
These Star Trek Into Darkness character movie posters are fantastic! I love how the marketing team used color to tie the posters together as a set, and the blurred special effects do an amazing job evoking action. They’re pretty much perfect sci-fi one sheet movie posters!
Star Trek Into Darkness is set to boldly go into theaters on May 17, 2013.
