The regular theatrical trailer will also be premiering with The Hobbit in normal non-IMAX showings on Dec. 14th, so not all is lost if you don't have IMAX near you.

OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS!


STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS – Approved Synopsis 11/26/12

In Summer 2013, pioneering director J.J. Abrams will deliver an explosive action thriller that takes Star Trek Into Darkness.

When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis.

With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction.

As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew.

It sounds like the first movie except swap Kirk for Spock! We waited this long for that?!

Hmmm....

Well, first that is a really strangely worded synopsis.  "Detonated the fleet?"  Who writes like that?  If this is accurate it certainly seems to point to Cumberbatch being in Starfleet and it makes it more likely it's Gary Mitchell.  But, I'm still not convinced.  They have done the Mitchell story in the current JJ/verse comics.  I suppose it could be Khan and they made him a Starfleet officer.  But again that seems odd and weird to me.  Still, gives us something to chew on for the next few weeks until the 9 minutes of footage and trailer.

Yeah, that "detonated the fleet" part really confuses me as well. It doesn't make a lot of sense, either literally or figuratively. I does seem to be legit, it's all over the place this morning as coming from Paramount.

Maybe Cumberbatch is Remmick!

I read online (I think it was Trekmovie.com) that the 9 minute trailer is not going to be shown at The Hobbit but something will be released online soon. However, a new Superman trailer will be shown at the Hobbit so that's still something to look forward to.

No, I don't think that is correct.  The plan is for "The Hobbit" in IMAX (exclusively only there) you will be getting the 9 minutes of movie footage - most likely the start of the Trek/Darkness movie.  For other showings of "The Hobbit" and probably other movies that weekend and beyond there will be a separate 2-3 min. regular trailer for the film.

yeah, that's the way I understood it as well, although it was a bit confusing at first.

[Rico]

And the new "Man of Steel" trailer is suppose to be attached to "The Hobbit" film too - even in non-IMAX showings.

[Rico]

So, I've been thinking about this synopsis a lot this morning.  I am wondering if the word "detonate" is intentional.  Like bombs of some kind are put on the ships or their warp cores are set to breach.  More like a terrorist thing than a big space battle where they might have said, he 'destroys the fleet.'  Gary Mitchell or Khan could do this.  My money is still on it being Khan - but I'd actually prefer it be Mitchell.  But based on the comics I don't think it's Mitchell.

[Bryancd]

Yeah but "detonated the fleet AND all it stands for" makes it sound both literally exploding ships and figuratively the destruction of some ideal. I'm still confused...although I have been on the Gary Mitchell band wagon for a while now and this clearly adds some credence to that.

The more I think about this synopsis, the more I feel the marketing for this film has been fracked up, If they were going tot release this drivel, they should have released a teaser trailer at the very least. Although i welcomed the marketing ploy of releasing the 9min trailer attached to Hobbit, I am back to being irritated by their efforts or lack thereof.

[ChrisMC]

Is terrorism the only thing that movies can use as allegory anymore? Was there more going on in the 60's than now? It's a weird synopsis, but I hope it makes sense in the coming weeks.

[Bryancd]

Oh, I'm sure the movie will be a blast but this marketing has been a cluster.
