The poster of the much anticipated Star Trek sequel, “Star Trek Into Darkness” is out. Check it out:
The new "Star Trek" film appears to have been directed by Christopher Nolan, as the poster brings back more than a few memories of the one-sheet for this summer's "The Dark Knight Rises" (and the one for Nolan's "Inception," at that) -- the saturated colors of blue, black, grey and white, the lone semi-silhouetted figure standing before some ruined cityscape, the fractured outline of which forms a significant symbol -- in this case, the Starfleet insignia. All it's missing is some ominous yet vaguely nonsensical tagline like "The Legend Ends" (how does a legend "end," exactly? But we digress...)
Even though it looks more like another bad day in Gotham than a new "Trek" adventure, the poster does shed some light on some plot points of the still highly secretive film. We now know according to the film's synopsis that some sort of city is going to, well, crumble, and one on Earth, at that. That could be London's The Gherkin on the right there, or we could be looking at what remains of a futuristic San Francisco, a familiar "Star Trek" location.
The poster also gives us a look at the man whom it's probably safe to say is responsible for this mess -- we assume that's Benedict Cumberbatchwho's gravely accessing the devastation, his villainous trenchcoat blowing in the dust-filled wind. The figure's dark hair and coat seem to match the first set photos spotted in February that showed Cumberbatch fighting Spock and Uhura.
