Rejoice, Trekkies! Paramount has finally released a teaser for Star Trek Into Darkness to whet your appetites for the debut of the full trailer on December 17.
Benedict Cumberpatch, who portrays the as yet unnamed villain of the film, narrates with a commanding presence as we are treated to a booming soundtrack and stunning otherworldly visuals, as per Star Trek tradition.
Rumors suggest that either Khan or Gary Mitchell fit the bill for Kirk's nemesis in the upcoming sequel, although actor Simon Pegg has gone on record saying "It's not Khan. That's a myth. Everyone's saying it is, but it's not. I think people just want to have a scoop. It annoys me - it's beyond the point to just ferret around for spoilers all the time to try to be the first to break them."
The vague plot synopsis reads:
"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."
Star Trek stars Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Simon Pegg, John Cho, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana, and Anton Yelchin. Look for the film in theaters on May 17,2013.
