You could always use some more Star Trek Into Darkness marketing in your life, so Paramount has released a new sneak peek as well as a character poster for Spock (Zachary Quinto). Yesterday, we got a poster for Uhura (Zoe Saldana), and I’m curious to see if the upcoming character posters will be for anyone other than Kirk (Chris Pine) and “John Harrison” (Benedict Cumberbatch). In the meantime, we can watch Spock bathe in sweet, hot lava. As for the sneak peek, it’s basically a TV spot, although I don’t know if it will play like any other commercial. It’s debuted on MTV’s website, so perhaps there might be something longer on the MTV Movie Awards later tonight.
Hit the jump to check out the sneak peek and poster. The film also stars Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, Anton Yelchin, John Cho, Bruce Greenwood, and Peter Weller. Star Trek Into Darkness opens on May 17th.

A new trailer for director J.J. Abrams’ sequel Star Trek Into Darkness is poised to be released this coming Tuesday, and it appears that Paramount will be releasing a few new posters in the lead up to the new trailer debut. Yesterday we got a look at a new one-sheet that featured the U.S.S. Enterprise in a rather precarious position, and today the studio has unveiled a character poster for Zoe Saldana’s Uhura. This is likely the first of many character posters for the film, so keep your eye here on the site in the coming days for the rest of them.
Hit the jump to take a look at the new poster, and check back here on Collider on Tuesday, April 16th to watch the new trailer. The film also stars Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Benedict Cumberbatch, Simon Pegg, Karl Urban, John Cho, Anton Yelchin, Alice Eve, Bruce Greenwood, and Peter Weller. Star Trek Into Darkness opens in IMAX 3D on May 15th and in 3D and 2D on May 17th.

Since we’ve already been introduced to the new cast of the U.S.S. Enterprise, it looks like the days of giving them their own posters has passed. Instead, the latest banner re-appropriates parts of a recent poster where the only Starfleet members present are Kirk (Chris Pine), Spock (Zachary Quinto), and Uhura (Zoe Saldana). Also, there’s the villain played Benedict Cumberbatch in case you didn’t know Benedict Cumberbatch was in the movie even though he’s dominated the marketing campaign. I know everybody loves a good villain, but is it too much to show Scotty (Simon Pegg), Bones (Karl Urban), Sulu (John Cho), and Chekov (Anton Yelchin) some marketing love?
Hit the jump to check out the banner. The film also stars Bruce Greenwood, Peter Weller, and Alice Eve. Star Trek Into Darkness opens in IMAX 3D on May 15th and in 3D and 2D on May 17th. [Update: We've updated the article with a new poster for the film which depicts the Enterprise in great peril.]

Paramount has released 24 hi-res images from Star Trek Into Darkness. These images come from Paramount’s press site, and going through them one-by-one, I noticed something strange: there’s no Chekov (Anton Yelchin). Perhaps it’s just an oversight on the studio’s part, but every other member of the Enterprise crew is in at least one photo. This could be nothing, but if Abrams were to kill off a character, he could possibly get away with Chekov (as opposed to a more popular character like Bones or Scotty).
Hit the jump to check out the images. The film also stars Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Benedict Cumberbatch, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, John Cho, Bruce Greenwood, Peter Weller, and Alice Eve. Star Trek Into Darkness opens in IMAX 3D on May 15th, and 3D and 2D on May 17th.

Marvel has found its female lead for the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy movie. Casting on the anticipated space-set comic book adaptation had been mum for quite some time until we learned in February that Chris Pratt had been cast as the film’s male lead, Peter Quill aka Star-Lord. While there appeared to be a bit of a heated negotiations battle taking place between Jason Momoa and David Bautista for the bulky Drax the Destroyer role in the James Gunn-directed film, Bautista eventually landed the gig last month. As the remaining three members of the Guardians team were Gamora, the talking raccoon Rocket Raccoon, and the giant tree Groot, all eyes were on who would land the final humanoid role of Gamora.
That anticipation ends today, as word now comes that Star Trek Into Darkness actress Zoe Saldana is poised to tackle the part. Hit the jump for more, including the appearance of a villainous comics character in the film.

Paramount has released two new action-heavy images from Star Trek Into Darkness featuring Zoe Saldana, Zachary Quinto, and Chris Pine. When I see Saldana like this—a great actress and gorgeous woman with an undeniable physical presence who stars in two of the moment’s biggest franchises—I feel like she should be an even bigger star. Like, Highest Paid Actress in Hollywood big*. Let’s make that happen when Star Trek Into Darkness opens on May 17.
Additionally, we have video from the Star Trek light show that sent London into darkness for Earth Hour, a WWF event that turned out the lights in cities around the world to raise awareness about climate change. Regardless of your environmental conscience, it is cool to see the Star Trek logo light up the sky (powered by green energy, of course). Check out the images and video after the jump.

Paramount has released a new international trailer for J.J. Abrams’ sequel Star Trek Into Darkness. It’s got everything we’ve seen in earlier trailers and a lot more. This time around, we get the action sequences in the presumed order they’ll appear in the full feature which gives us a much better sense of story. The trailer also shows that Kirk (Chris Pine) is taking things much more seriously than he did in the first film. There are also plenty of quips from the fantastic supporting cast (and a hot shot of a barely-dressed Alice Eve as a bonus) that show the crew can still keep some levity amidst all the doom and gloom. Oh, and Benedict Cumberbatch is positively venomous. This is how you release a new trailer!
Hit the jump to watch the trailer. The film also stars Zachary Quinto, Simon Pegg, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana, Anton Yelchin, John Cho and Bruce Greenwood. Star Trek Into Darkness opens in IMAX 3D on May 15th, and in 2D and 3D on May 17th.

A new teaser trailer for Star Trek Into Darkness has gone online and showcases about as much action and wit as you can cram into a runtime of just over a minute. While the first trailer and first teaser seemed to rely on setting up Kirk and John Harrison’s feud, this latest entry is for the most part Kirk/Enterprise-centric. The entire cut is entertaining but the highlight for me has to be Kirk acknowledging his own status as a “pain” to his superiors.
Check out the trailer after the jump. Starring Chris Pine, Benedict Cumberbatch, Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban, Anton Yelchin, Simon Pegg, Alice Eve, Zoe Saldana, Peter Weller, John Cho, and Noel Clarke, Star Trek Into Darkness opens in 3D and IMAX on May 17th.

The feature film adaptation of Jonathan Tropper’s novel This is Where I Leave You is picking up some steam. The project was initially gearing up to begin production last spring under director Adam Shankman with an ensemble cast that included Jason Bateman, Zac Efron, Goldie Hawn, Leslie Mann, Malin Akerman, and Jason Sudeikis, but Shankman subsequently exited the project and casting deals were never completed, so movement stalled. Shawn Levy came onboard to direct last fall, and now Bateman is back on the project as the search to fill out the rest of the cast begins in anticipation of a May or June production start date.
The book tells the story of a dysfunctional family that is forced to reunite when their father requests they sit Shivah for seven days following his death, and the feature film adaptation has attracted a great deal of talent, with Harry Potter director David Yates previously flirting with the project. Hit the jump to find out which actresses are currently testing for roles opposite Bateman.

Back in December, we saw Star Trek Into Darkness‘ villain “John Harrison” (Benedict Cumberbatch) inside a glass prison (or more likely, a forcefield; larger point: no bars) being interrogated by the film’s heroes. Today, new images from the film have been released, and we see our villain being flanked by security guards. Last year, audiences learned an important lesson: if your villain gets captured, it was probably part of his plan. Presumably, “John Harrison” is planning to have Scotty go Hulk and destroy everything.
Hit the jump to check out the images. The film also stars Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban, Anton Yelchin, Zoe Saldana, John Cho, Simon Pegg, Peter Weller, Noel Clarke, and Alice Eve. Star Trek Into Darkness opens in IMAX 3D on May 15th, and 2D and 3D on May 17th.

Paramount Pictures has released a new featurette for the upcoming sequel Star Trek Into Darkness. The clip reveals a few bits of new footage (I think?), interspersed with J.J. Abrams, Zachary Quinto, Chris Pine, and Zoe Saldana talking about the scale of the film. Abrams himself describes Into Darkness as the most fun and challenging experience he’s had, calling the action “light-years beyond” what they did in the first movie (I see what you did there). Into Darkness does indeed look to be one massive film, but Star Wars: Episode VII has to be bigger, right?
Hit the jump to watch the featurette. The film also stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Simon Pegg, Karl Urban, Anton Yelchin, John Cho, Alice Eve, and Bruce Greenwood. Star Trek Into Darkness opens in 2D, 3D, and IMAX 3D on May 17th.

It’s a good day to be a Star Trek fan. We recently reported on some quotes from Benedict Cumberbatch and Alice Eve regarding J.J. Abrams’ upcoming sequel Star Trek Into Darkness, and now Paramount has released a batch of high-resolution images from the film. We’ve seen a couple of these before in low-resolution or watermarked versions, but quite a few of them provide new looks at the Enterprise crew and that dastardly Cumberbatch. Additionally, Abrams recently (and admirably) showed a dying Trek fan named Daniel the full film. Daniel’s wife has now provided an update, sharing their reaction to seeing the film and noting Abrams and Bad Robot’s generosity.
Hit the jump to check out the images and to read the quotes from Daniel’s wife. The film also stars Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Simon Pegg, Karl Urban, Anton Yelchin, John Cho, and Bruce Greenwood. Star Trek Into Darkness opens on May 17th in 2D, 3D, and IMAX.

It’s a very Star Trek Christmas Eve thanks to Empire Magazine, who released a lot of great Star Trek Into Darkness material as part of their 2013 preview issue. There are four versions of the magazine cover featuring Chris Pine and Benedict Cumberbatch, eleven new images (highlighted by a gun-toting Zachary Quinto previewed above), and a synopsis with new information. In a separate venue, director J.J. Abrams revealed more about the mysterious villain character, John Harrison, that Cumberbatch plays: “He is just an average guy who works in an organization called Starfleet, and he turns against the group because he has got this back-story and this kind of amazing secret agenda.”

We have some new images pulled from the latest trailer for director J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek Into Darkness. This time around, we get a great look at individual shots of the principal cast members, as well as some clean pictures of the USS Enterprise’s interiors alongside alien worlds. The images also raise a few questions concerning the plot, such as: why is Noel Clarke’s character crying and dropping a ring into a glass, and why is Alice Eve screaming so much?
Starring Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Benedict Cumberbatch, Simon Pegg, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana, Anton Yelchin, John Cho and Bruce Greenwood, Star Trek Into Darkness opens May 17, 2013. Hit the jump to scope out the new images.

A new trailer for Star Trek Into Darkness has gone online. Unlike the previous teaser, this one is far more melancholy as we hear Pike (Bruce Greenwood) tells Kirk, “There’s greatness in you, but not an ounce of humility. But there’s going to come a moment when you’re wrong about that. And you’re going to get yourself, and everyone under your command, killed.” From there, we see the epic action director J.J. Abrams is going to unleash. Details on the story are still scarce, but a teaser trailers never give those away. They’re meant to entice, and this new trailer is even better than the first one.
Hit the jump to check out the trailer. The film also stars Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Benedict Cumberbatch, Karl Urban, Anton Yelchin, Zoe Saldana, John Cho, Simon Pegg, Alice Eve, Peter Weller, and Noel Clarke. Star Trek Into Darkness opens in 3D on May 17, 2013. [Update: Hidden in the trailer is the key to launch the film's viral campaign. More after the jump.]
