First Star Trek Into Darkness Trailer Also Premiering Dec. 14th
 

Kewl...and it's just a traditional 2 or 3 minute trailer.
The whole "9 minute" thing announced in another thread has now been confirmed to be "the first nine minutes of the movie". :)

Ah, so that might mean a pre credits prologue like last time with the USS Kelvin.

I already forgot but isn't that the same idea as the opening sequence of The Dark Knight Rises being released as a taster earlier this year? Or was that The Dark Knight they did that with................I'm not sure now.

Anyway, that gives them a good 6 month window pre release and The Hobbit is bound to be big, so they're smart to start with genre viewers and then expand out.

I think both of the Dark Knights got the same treatment. Rises got a sneak preview with Mission Impossible in IMAX last year, and Knight got an IMAX sneak preview with... some Fall 2007 movie (I am Legend perhaps?)

I was saying the same thing in the other thread, that I wouldn't have expected ST was high-profile enough to get its trailer spliced onto The Hobbit (as part of an actual deal between the two films, that is)... but that I'm also hardly in a position to complain with that now being the case.

Brilliant news :):)

Can't wait to catch it online!

I never did see the LotR movie trilogy on the big screen...didn't interest me at the time, but I might make an exception for The Hobbit.

:thumbup:

The Lord of the Rings pictures were the most anticipated movies for me. And (genre-wise) I have never seen anything as big as them since.

While it wouldn't necessarily surprise me to see a ST trailer at one of them (seems to me Fellowship screenings had their share of bloody SW Attack of the Clones trailers back in the day), I wouldn't have expected one as part of a partnership deal. I just would've assumed (even after ST09) that something based on Tolkien was too high-brow for the likes of ST, and that a ST trailer might as well be exclusively attached to first-week screenings of Lincoln.

Yet even now it already seems silly to say that since we're clearly getting one.

The other thing that really trips me out is all that multimedia surrounding the Rings movies. Video games and what-not. I still can't quite wrap my brain around it; "What would Tolkien think?"
