New Star Trek: Into Darkness motion poster launched Simon Fitzjohn February 18, 2013 Latest News and Videos 1764 Paramount have begun to crank up the hype ahead of the release of the new Star Trek flick with the debut of a pretty nifty motion poster. Essentially the regular poster with added depth, the image once again has the menacing Benedict Cumberbatch surveying the destruction around him. Set for a May 17 release, Star Trek: Into Darkness was already pretty high on the anticipation scale, but the recent news of director JJ Abrams moving on to helm the next Star Wars adventure adds a whole new layer to a film that is promised to be a pretty dark offering.
