First Trailer for Star Trek Into Darkness Released

"You think your world is safe... It is an illusion, a comforting lie told to protect you."

These are the somewhat Nietzschean opening words of Benedict Cumberbatch's dark voice-over for the latest release from the Paramount vaults. After a year of absolute secrecy, the first glimpse of JJ Abram's Star Trek sequel, Star Trek Into Darkness, is finally here (which can be seen below).

This minute-long teaser trailer is a web-only release, with previews of the first nine minutes of Star Trek Into Darkness to be shown at certain IMAX screenings of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey next week. A longer theatrical trailer is also expected to be released around the same time.

Cumberbatch is very much at the forefront of this trailer, darkly intoning an ominous monologue over shots of a peaceful Federation city, which soon gives way to some decidedly more explosive sequences.
Star Trek Into Darkness certainly looks set to be an action-packed spectacle!

"Enjoy these final moments of peace. For I have returned to have my vengeance. So, shall we begin?"
