Principal photography on J.J. Abrams Star Trek sequel has been in the tank for several weeks now, and while fans anxiously await a trailer, in the meantime they do have a definitive title.
The latest adventure for Kirk, Spock, McCoy, and the rest of the Enterprise crew will be called Star Trek Into the Darkness. That's right. No numbers, no Roman numerals, and apparently no colons either.
I have to say I really like the title. It gives it an edge while lending an air of mystery to what the title actually means. Could it be a black hole? The space between the stars? Who knows. I also like the fact that the title distinguishes itself from the two previous movie incarnations of Star Trek. The first six films used Roman numerals for the sequels and TNG used colons. The lack of both highlights a separation of this franchise between the last two. Here's to hoping Abrams' sequel is just as good as the original.
Star Trek Into the Darkness warps into movie theaters May 17, 2013.
