Star Trek 2 Gets a Title

Tomorrow, September 8th, marks the 46th anniversary of Gene Roddenberry's "Star Trek", but SuperHero Hype is celebrating a little early with a juicy rumor to share. We've been been told that the 2013 J.J. Abrams sequel has chosen a title and will hit theaters as Star Trek Into Darkness.


Although we have not yet been able to officially confirm said title, the domain names www.startrekintodarkness.com and www.startrekintodarknessmovie were both registered yesterday through Markmonitor, an anonymous domain registry service that just so happens to have been utilized by Paramount Pictures for recent URLs like their official G.I. Joe: Retaliation site.

Interesting. I can't think of anything immediately linking it to a classic Trek episode atm, but that could be because they're being more original than we give them credit for. Can't help but be reminded of this though.



EDIT: This title has been confirmed by trekmovie.com.

And then the next one can be "Rising from the Darkness".

It'll be like Batman.

When I see that title I automatically think of Space Seed. TOS will always be my favorite but I really like this new rendition.

Why particularly? I don't remember that episode every well. Was it because he got thawed out or whatever?
ponpiri 8th-Sep-2012 02:32 pm (UTC)
No reason in particular, the two titles just give me the same imagery. From what I remember, Space Seed was TOS's first dark episode.

I am eternally grateful for Space Seed and the fact that it resulted in the greatest movie of all time: The Wrath of Khan.

(so good, I even used it in my Master's thesis)
illname_me_joan 8th-Sep-2012 02:47 pm (UTC)
Ooh, maybe in the 3rd movie, they'll do Khan.

WAIT

WAIIIIIIIT



And didn't Orci say...

"“It’s definitely a character that will make fans of TOS excited. Think along the lines of Harry Mudd or Trelane or Gary Mitchell or the Talosians or the Horta. Actually it’s one of those that I named.”

How hilarious would it be if they've been trolling everyone, Cumberbatch is some new character and the movie is about the FUCKING HORTA. I mean besides the whitewashing coyness, it would be hilarious.
ponpiri Re: OMG WAIT8th-Sep-2012 02:33 pm (UTC)
I would love Trelane!
snortingcoke 8th-Sep-2012 04:25 pm (UTC)
simon said that iirc and i'm still convinced it's gary mitchell BUT SURPRISE ME STAR TREK, SURPRISE ME.
sleepviking 8th-Sep-2012 02:30 pm (UTC)
I can't believe how long it feels like since the first one came out.
arminaa 8th-Sep-2012 03:50 pm (UTC)
When it's released, it'll have been four years after the first one! I can't believe it either.
illname_me_joan 8th-Sep-2012 02:37 pm (UTC)
i submitted this too! my post got rejected obvs.
wauwy 8th-Sep-2012 02:40 pm (UTC)
I submitted it at like 3 am EST though, and I originally had the title wrong (with a colon) and learned afterward that the title was indeed confirmed and not just a rumor. So I had to wait and wait to be able to edit the post.

livejournal user problems.
illname_me_joan 8th-Sep-2012 02:43 pm (UTC)
yeah, i submitted it around 3am (there) too. i used the trekmovie source.

I want Uhura/Spock to break up because I adored Uhura/Scotty. I was hoping with the reboot it would go to that couple. ;[ I loved that towards the end of the older movies it was there. Random OTP is random but I still love them.
wauwy 8th-Sep-2012 02:42 pm (UTC)
nhf anti-Spock/Uhura sentiments tbh. Especially not in favor of appalling OOC crap that William Shatner put in his terrible movie.

just being real here

Your realness is flawless.

I'm such a Spock/Uhura stan. I want to see them make-out and kick ass.

mai_shiranui 8th-Sep-2012 02:41 pm (UTC)
I'm getting all excited now. I can't wait to finally see this.
illname_me_joan 8th-Sep-2012 02:45 pm (UTC)
Will there be lensflares in the darkness?
akscully 8th-Sep-2012 03:45 pm (UTC)
Ofc. If there can be lensflares in caves, there can certainly be flares in the dark.

Yay, can't wait! (though i think it would look better with a colon)
antoniascarlett 8th-Sep-2012 02:55 pm (UTC)
I can only hope that Fluffington Tiramisu gets killed during the opening credits.
dedradawn 8th-Sep-2012 04:17 pm (UTC)
Thus making him the least effective villain in the history of film.
vickyblueeyez 8th-Sep-2012 02:55 pm (UTC)
This movie needs to hurry up. Tho, I'm not as excited about it as I used to be. There needs to be some leaks.
sunshinefun27 9th-Sep-2012 12:44 am (UTC)
I know, I think it's because at first they said it would be out in 2011 and right after the first one, they were like, we're working on a script and it seemed like they were going to get on it fast and then they were like, jk, no early 2012 and then late 2012 and now it's 2013. It's not really that unhear of for four years in between films, but they just kept drawing it out to the point where I'm nowhere near as excited as I was even a year ago.
bellwetherr 8th-Sep-2012 02:55 pm (UTC)
I am so ready for this. I loved the first one.
