Trek 2: MTV Clip & My Thoughts On STID Spoilers

Another clip from the J.J. Abrams’ sequel "Star Trek Into Darkness" has been released by Paramount Pictures--this time via MTV.

In the new film the Enterprise crew will face off with Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch's baddie "John Harrison" who might just be a version of Khan Noonien Singh in the film. Or is it perhaps Gary Mitchell instead? Someone else. All involved are still saying Harrison is the name of Cumby's character. I say hogwash--If that's the truth why the secrecy?...And why tell us early on that the big bad was someone we know from Trek lore? Here's my theory...

Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, Anton Yelchin John Cho and Bruce Greenwood have all returned to the Final Frontier in their respective roles as Kirk Spock Uhura Dr. McCoy Scotty Chekov Sulu and Admiral Pike.

The Supporting Cast Includes Alice Eve as Carol Marcus. Nazneen Contractor who will play the wife of Noel Clarke’s family man character And former "Robocop" star Peter Weller playing Admirial Marcus, actor/stuntman Joseph Gatt. Original "A Nightmare on Elm Street" star Heather Langenkamp has a small part in the film as well.

Leonard Nimoy's return as Spock Prime following his larger cameo from "Star Trek" '09 had been walked back yet not fully denied...Klingons will be making an appearance in the Star Trek sequel as will their home world. The adversaries were left on the cutting room of the last pic.

Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof wrote the script for director Abrams.

The sequel will be produced by Abrams, Kurtzman, Orci, Lindelof, Bryan Burk, and David Ellison.

The film will be released May 16th, 2013 in 3D and IMAX in the US. It's overseas roll-out has begun

It seems as though the crew is still trying to rescue Spock from the Volcano....



Plans are afoot for me to see STID on the day it opens---There's a lot of SPOILERS out there since the film has now opened overseas. As is the case with most high profile releases like Trek 2--I know many key plot points prior to seeing the film--I will NOT divulge anything that I discovered until after I see the film--If at all in my review...No matter how much I already know about a film before I see it--I will always give it a fair shake....
