You won't have to wait until May of 2013 to get a look at the Star Trek sequel to the 2009 hit. Next month, IMAX 3D theaters will be showing the first 9-minutes of J.J. Abrams highly-anticipated STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS starting December 14th.
Trekkies will get a first-look at the movie in the highest quality with 500 digital IMAX 3D theaters projecting footage from the first few minutes of the film months prior to STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS' release (May 2013). The move is related to the fact that sequences from the film were shot using IMAX cameras. According to the Paramount press release, the high-resolution cameras captured several sequences with "unprecedented crispness and clarity" that will expand to fill more of the screen, "putting moviegoers right into the explosive action and vast scope of the film."The release of the 9-minute preview coincides with the release of another eagerly-awaited movie -- Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey on December 14, and will most likely play ahead of that movie.
Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, Anton Yelchin, and John Cho reprise their roles of the beloved Star Trek characters. STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS” is written by Damon Lindelof, Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci and directed by J.J. Abrams. Abrams is producing with Bryan Burk through Bad Robot Productions, along with Lindelof, Kurtzman and Orci.
