The new Star Trek is out: Into Darkness trailer

STAR TREK: Into Darkness is the anticipated sequel to JJ Abrams’ critically and commercially successful 2009 epic and the trailer has been released.

The new film sees most of the cast and crew from the original film reprise their roles, including Chris Pine (Captain Kirk), Zachary Quinto (Spock), Karl Urban (“Bones” McCoy) and Zoey Saldana (Lieutenant Uhura).

JJ Abrams returns as Director and co-Producer and the movie continues the alternate reality plot of the first film. With the Earth in tatters after a deadly force attacked Starfleet, the story will follow Captain Kirk and the USS Enterprise’s quest to find those responsible.
