Rumor Claims: 'Star Trek: Into Darkness' May Be The Title to Star Trek Sequel

The rumor mills are firing up today, September 8, about the Star Trek sequel. Oddly enough, it’s the same day of Star Trek 46th anniversary.

One source happens to be Comingsoon.net, the film site has reported that J.J. Abrams’ sequel to Paramount’s Star Trek will be entitled Star Trek: Into Darkness. The site didn’t really validate their bold claim, however, the domain names  www.startrekintodarkness.com and www.startrekintodarknessmovie.com have been registered through a company called MarkMonitor, a company that has known ties to Paramount Pictures.

Filming has already begun for the sequel, but Abrams and Paramount have managed to keep information on the film sealed like Fort Knox. It’s already weeks into shooting and the films own IMDB page ( The granddaddy of movie sites), has it listed as Untitled Star Trek Sequel. Well, only time will tell whether this rumor is true.

The only rock solid intel is that Chris Pine and Zoe Saldana will return to star, along with co-stars Karl Urban, John Cho, Bruce Greenwood, Zachary Quinto, Simon Pegg, Anton Yelchin, Benedict Cumberbatch, Alice Eve and Peter Weller. Star Trek, whatever the official title may be, is slated to hit theaters May 17, 2013.

 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
