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.

It'll be like Batman.
i liked the first movie. it kept me entertained. and i say this as someone who has zero knowledge of star trek. i'll go to any movie to get a little more simon pegg.
i saw almost every film with him in it, even MI4..
i guess i'm just a big pegg fan
(so good, I even used it in my Master's thesis)
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.
livejournal user problems.
just being real here

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