Funny how things work out. Originally Lucas was trying to get an adaptation of Dune made but when he couldn’t get the rights he developed Star Wars instead.

I think the colon is implied when you say “Into Darkness”…

If Spock gets lucky (as rumored), there’s going to be hell to pay on this title. Why would Paramount want that?

Didn’t Cristobal Colon invent the Amerigo Vespa or something?

I don’t get what you mean. The lettering “Disney” is perfectly clear: backwards-G-i-δ-N-E-p. Disney

Fun fact: George Lucas originally asked David Lynch to direct Return of the Jedi. Would have been a very different movie, methinks.

Here’s an idea: let Joss Whedon write and direct an episode.

[Over the ship-wide intercom] “This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then — explode.”

Could work if it was S.T.A.R. : Trek Into Darkness (Star Trek Alternate Reality) Then it could hang out with these other (I was gonna say terrible, but there's a few good ones in there) acronymicly endowed movies.

I really hope that someone mistakenly left out the colon in between Star Trek and Into Darkness…

The good news is that there is a colon. The bad news is that the title is written as "STAR: Trek Into Darkness."

Aw, it ain’t so bad. Can’t one trek on into something? Merriam-Webster cites trek as an intransitive verb before the noun reference. So you can, in a spiritual sense, hop into one’s starship and star trek on down into darkness with a spring in one’s step and a tribble in one’s heart.

I wonder if Paramount saw what New Line did with their sequel to the remake of Journey to the Center of the Earth, cheekily dubbing it Journey 2: The Mysterious Island. For what it’s worth, New Line left the colon off the poster, too.

I think I’m just as unlikely to watch STID as I was J2TMI.

I think after his experience working on Dune, David Lynch is done with science fiction. Still, one can dream…right?

I was hoping for Star Trek: The Hands of Fate

Title aside, I’m hoping they come up with a flawed premise and then spend the entire movie bending the storyline and any sense of logic and reason to get themselves out of that very premise.

You know, like the first one.

This thread should be subtitled “Into Dorkness”

By: Jim Saul

Jim Saul — Mon, 10 Sep 2012 22:12:00 +0000

So many film makers in the science fiction genre got their start working on John Carpenter/Dan O’Bannon’s Dark Star…

Maybe a little insider reference? Though obviously more the reference to Conrad. I guess that makes Benedict Cumberbatch likely some form of Kurtz.

I wish it was Harvey Mudd.

Probably Gary Mitchell?

If they ever bring back Khan they should cast Nestor Carbonell.

Seriously, nobody is going to be “that guy”? This is still the internet, yes? Nobody is going to point out the detail that is frustrating the hell out of your nerd mind? Nobody? Ok I’ll be the one. The official title of Star Trek 2 is The Wrath of Khan. This title is referring to Star Trek 12. Sadly they haven’t gone with my suggested title Star trek 12: Adventures of a Boring Pedant…
