And you don't suppose the actors might be doing a bit of misdirection, to keep people guessing?

Possibly which is why I am not going to hold my breath or get my hopes up

The poster:



Looks like The Dark Knight poster. Also, it's nice to see London.

Alot of movies seem to be using a similar art style as of late. I assume having "London" in the poster, is a hint at having Benedict Cumberbatch in the movie.

You mean aside from him standing there in the middle of it?

Love how one commenter on IGN goes: "Looks like Mass Effect."  I think most people fail to realize how many things ME took from Trek.

That's probably just because of the London link. Actually, I've noticed London getting uses more and more often now. Perhaps the general audience want some kind of "not American, but not too different" setting, and London is an obvious choice for that.

At this point, it shouldn't.  Remember, the original plan was going to have it released in December, but Paramount decided that it should be a summer tentpole again.

EDIT: Teaser trailer hits the web Thursday!

T-24 hours until the internet exclusive one minute teaser appears!

The two plus minute trailer showing with The Hobbit will join the interwebs the first Monday after(17th).

What will be also showing with the IMAX version of The Hobbit will be a nine minute prologue and not the first nine minutes of Into Darkness as many thought.
All hail the messiah!

My love
Is wand'ring in star-flight

He'll find in star-clustered reaches
Love,
Strange love a star woman teaches.

His star trek
Will go on forever.
But tell him
While he wanders his starry sea
Remember, remember me."

You can't really tell that from one minute of footage. I am reserving my judgement until I see the film.

Cookied. And quoted for truth.

What I -can- say about this 1 minute teaser, is that it seems to have considerably less lens flares compared to the previous movie. Which is a god send, in and of itself.

And while they haven't confirmed the roles yet, i'll put my theory up;

Benedict Cumberbatch as Gary Mitchell
Alice Eve as Elizabeth Dehner / Carol Marcus

I remember reading a while back that the 2nd movie would take place several years after the 1st one (much like TMP to Wrath of Khan), and if true, that would suggest that the 2nd movie has "caught up" with the TOS timeline (Where No Man Has Gone Before happened in 2265, Trek 09 in 2258). And hell, Gary Mitchell could've still been given "godlike powers" a few years earlier, depending on if the Enterprise was/is sent on a similar mission to the same area of space.

I hope the longer trailer attached to The Hobbit, reveals additional details and possible confirmations. I -don't- think he's playing a "remastered Khan" villain.

I am leaning toward Alice Eve being Dr. Elizabeth Dehner. She is seen in a sciences department Starfleet uniform and after watching 'Where no man has gone before' she is almost the double of Sally Kellerman right down to the hair style.

I am cautiously excited. The Original Series had some really strong and exciting episodes and the second pilot was always one of them.

Another thing to consider, is that Peter Weller has been completely overlooked. It's been stated that he'll be playing a "Starfleet officer", and have his own ship. Commodore Decker possibly?

The Japanese version of the trainer is slightly longer. One scene reminds me strongly of TWOK.

Is it just me, or does the thing crashing into the sea seem a lot like a connie?
Although I couldn't tell the number on the nacelle of the ship emerging from the sea around the :33 mark. 
Also, scotty crying? Are they going to kill off the/a JJprise? Quite a few of the whizz-bang shots seemed to be in corridors aboard a ship, one or two even seemed to be on a bridge..
Curiosity is piqued.

To me it looked clear to be a Constitution

One shot the Enterprise is coming out of water aad the end of the trailer its crashing into water.

Watch the Japanese trailer I linked, the crash scene is extended.

I don't know why, but I have a sneaky feeling that Weller is playing Khan and that Cumberbatch is Joachim or some other augment.  

Although it has been stated that the character Weller is playing is in starfleet, but then again can we really trust the word of whoever it was that said that? Might be misdirection.  Why was his character not seen in this trailer? Would makeup or costume give it away?

*gasp* Is Weller wearing a pump up chest to look like Ricardo Montalban in TWoK?!  :funny

A Constitution-class?  Maybe if this were the Prime Timeline.  Unless the ship was severely warped coming down before crashing, that's not the Enterprise crashing.  Nacelles are too widely spaced, the nacelles themselves have an oval look to the front of them rather than a round look, the pylons are shaped wrong, nor do the engines have our beloved 1701's trademark fins.  Not the Enterprise.  Besides, if you look at the trailers, you can see that the nacelles are being shoved forward from the impact(obviously not a safe water landing, but a head on collision with the bay).  This doesn't hold up with the idea that this shot is connected with the shot of the Enterprise rising OUT of the water since THAT shot shows the Enterprise in perfect working condition.  Scotty's good, but he's not THAT good.

Speaking of, if the Enterprise WERE going to be destroyed, I don't think Scotty would be that calm about it.  Not young Scotty, at any rate.  The fact that he's comforting Uhura, who is turning away from whatever they're looking at, implies that they just watched someone get their butt kicked and/or is being tortured.

As for shots of the "bridge" blowing up...unless the Enterprise had a tremendous refit and installed a large table with laptops on it, that's another shot not taking place on the Enterprise.  In fact, the Enterprise herself was only seen once in an external shot, and a couple of times internally.  No space shots either.

Also, there were indeed Klingons in several shots, so while they may not be primary antagonists, they will play a role in this one.

Now, I do think it's very probable that Alice Eve is either a revamped Carol Marcus or Elizabeth Dehner(hairdo points to the latter).  However, I am not so sure about Cumberbatch being god-like Gary Mitchell.  On one hand, it seems extraordinarily likely.  But there are a couple of problems with that.  The first of which being the comics.  They already did "Where No Man Has Gone Before".  Mitchell is dead.  So unless he was PLAYING dead so Kirk would leave him, I certainly don't buy him coming back, though a phaser rifle might NOT have killed him.  But still.  If it is Mitchell, how are they going to explain all of that without a massive recap for the non-comic reading audience?  Also?  Aside from being exceptionally strong, I haven't seen a whole lot to indicate that he alone is responsible for the chaos occurring.  Finally...no glowy eyes.  At all.  None.  Now, that's not to say it's not likely.  But I'm pointing out the facts that dispute it.  For all we know, it could be Captain Garth.

Finally, as for the extra bit at the end of the Japanese trailer...while I think that it's meant to evoke that famous scene in The Wrath of Khan, it's not Kirk and Spock we're seeing here.  It's definitely Spock, he's doing the Vulcan hand gesture, but he's in his Enterprise uniform.  The other hand is in a black outfit.  I think we might be seeing a bit of what happened to cause all of this because we see Cumberbatch in a black uniform a few times.  I don't think they would pull that kind of stunt on us again.  Especially since, I believe, the main crew is contracted for another movie beyond this.

As for what I think of the trailer itself?  While I'll admit to some disappointment that there's only one real shot of my favorite starship and only glimpses of her crew outside of Kirk, Spock, and Uhura(Bones, Scotty, and Sulu make very brief appearances and I didn't see Chekov at all, let me know if you guys did and I'm just blind), I have to say, I am really excited for this.  While the vengeance bit is getting a bit stale, it seems like this one's going to be a little more impactful than Shinzon or Nero.  The fact that Cumberbatch is human and a former member of Starfleet adds to that.  And I personally think that the scene with the Enterprise rising from an ocean is going to be the crowning effects shot of the Enterprise for this movie, much the way the Enterprise rising from Titan and being framed in front of Saturn was for the previous movie.  Also...the most lens flares seemed to be either in the title sections or when the sun or other actual light source was visible.  Not counting weapons fire, of course.  All in all?  I can't wait for the longer trailer coming with The Hobbit.

EDIT: Also, with Cumberbatch's voiceover being the first I've actually heard from this actor(haven't seen any of Sherlock), I am even more excited about The Hobbit as well since C-batch is also doing the voice of the dragon Smaug.  He has a nice, deep, booming voice.

Hype level rising! The Hobbit can't get here fast enough!

BTW just like with the first movie the Countdown series has returned. Hopefully it will be much more inline with the movie than the first time around. "Why you no cloak Narada?" And not to mention the somehow telepathic connection between Nero and the Narada never being flushed out in the movie.
