Ready to drool? A hot new poster has been released for STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS before Tuesday morning’s advance box office sales in Great Britain. For those planning on catching the movie overseas, click HERE for tickets. The film opens in UK cinemas on May 9th. Check out how WWF’s Earth Hour was celebrated in England – TREK style – HERE.

Back to the poster for a second… damn if Benedict Cumberbatch isn’t the coolest fracking thing to hit the Star Trek universe since charismatic actor Ricardo Montalban’s Khan Noonien Singh arrival on the S.S. Botany Bay in 1967’s “Space Seed” episode. The story was made even better when the iconic character returned in 1982’s STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN.

In Summer 2013, director J.J. Abrams will deliver an explosive action thriller that takes STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS.

In the wake of a shocking act of terror from within their own organization, the crew of The Enterprise is called back home to Earth. In defiance of regulations and with a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads his crew on a manhunt to capture an unstoppable force of destruction and bring those responsible to justice.

As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew.

STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS is written by Roberto Orci & Alex Kurtzman & Damon Lindelof and directed by J.J. Abrams . Abrams is producing with Bryan Burk through Bad Robot Productions, along with Lindelof, Kurtzman and Orci. Jeffrey Chernovand Skydance Productions’ David Ellison , Dana Goldberg and Paul Schwake are the executive producers.

STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS opens in the U.S. in select theaters in IMAX 3D on May 15th and theaters everywhere May 17, 2013.
