Good point. He wouldn't even help a whole planet that was addicted to drugs but he was fighting to the death to save a few dozen people from their exiled relatives.

I'd think it have to be someone close to Spock for him to do that, no?
Forgot that part. I could never sit through that one again after the first viewing.
Well they're not killing Kirk and the hand doesn't look wrinkly enough to be Old Spock.
Pike then.
I saw speculation on another forum that it could be Kirk in his funeral uniform, the one you see at the beginning of this preview.
Pike is in the trailer (0:43) and doesn't look to be in a wheelchair.
Edit: Or that's Scotty with different hair?

That doesn't look like Pike.
I think that's Simon Pegg aka Scotty.
Ladies and gentleman, Scotty don't.
Oh, his hair is different.

Remember when there were rumors back in 2009 that they were gonna off Chekov midway through the movie? And everyone was like "No. They can't!"
And then they turned Vulcan inside out instead.

Such a joy to watch the redlettermedia review about that one

That's scotty.
But at 50sec mark they shown one alien! One alien in the entire trailer [if we dont count Spock].
The Khan reference in the Japanese trailer is undeniable, but with Alice Eve looking so much like Elizabeth Dehner, I could see "Into Darkness" being a reference to the Enterprise crossing into the galactic barrier. At this point I'd be surprised if Cumberbatch isn't Gary Mitchell.
Ding ding ding! Winner!
Do people still take trailers 100% literally? They are designed for maximum hypage, not to mention some things are left on the cutting room floor that were seen in the trailer.
While I'm conflicted on if this is Khan or Gary, I'm pretty sure that moment at the end of the trailer was simply to play on the nostalgia of old school Star Trek fans. The vast bulk of people that make the 2009 Trek movie a box office success were not Trek fans. The nostalgia/call back to Wrath of Khan would be lost on them.
I think it was more a wink and a nod, and in the actual film, it probably won't play out the same way.
I'm already looking forward to 2016's Star Trek: The Search for Kirk.

Are we sure the blondes in the trailer aren't two different blondes? Theres the one that is all smirky at Kirk, and then there's the one screaming in horror. Are they the same blonde? I'm old now and starlets are blending into each other with increasing regularity as my memory goes.
Is it Dehner? Is it Carol Marcus? is it Nurse Chapel? is it Yeoman Rand?
I wish any of these questions actually mattered, because keeping the characters secret serves absolutely zero purpose.

Cumberbatch is fighting helmeted klingons in the shots where he's jumping around like a superhero.
Yes, both are Alice Eve.
Holy shit, yesssss.

Thanks.
I wish Gary Seven's backdoor pilot had actually worked. I would have watched the hell out of that.
I'm hoping it's Carol Marcus and not Denher.
I want this to be about a Botany Bay Superman so they can have a philosophical discussion about genetically engineering humans and eugenics. We are about to enter that stage of society so it's a discussion that merits being brought up.

There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of space in this trailer. A lot of earth, which as a non trek nerd, seems weird. Is earth commonly a target?
There was a lot of earth in ST2009. Besides, its just a trailer. Abrams saving that good spae shit for the film.
only in movies, as far as I know on TNG everything usually takes place far far from earth.
in the original series they used to swing by earth all the time, except it was usually in 60's or 30's ala time travel.

I'm not sure anything would have been salvaged from that. You know it being in a black hole and all.
Maybe bits from the Kelvin encounter? That alone would explain why the Enterprise appears more advanced than in TOS.

Now I'm really curious on how your reaction to the PacRim trailer will be. ;P

Booooo.
Booooo. I'm going to be so bummed if this isn't Mitchell.
It could still be Mitchell and still have Carol Marcus.
If it's a young Carol Marcus that could work. I'd rather she was Elizabeth Denher.
Have they announced the date for this trailer? I'm going to assume it's soon now.
I don't understand why anyone would be excited about Mitchell. Why would anyone want to see Kirk fist fighting a god? The ethics and societal impacts of genetic engineering and eugenics is a far more socially relevant issue and is plausible at the same time. Getting into eugenics would also bring back the spirit of TOS where their adventures were really exploring the social issues of the 1960s but disguised as sci-fi.

Eh, I suppose but I think that would really be reaching, hopefully they don't go that direction

I really should. For some reason I slogged through a lot of the inferior Voyager yet didn't attempt to watch all of DS9. From what I've heard, the last few seasons with the Dominion war are pretty awesome.

TOS was all about Kirk fist fighting gods. I loved every minute of it!
Besides, I've already seen a big screen Kahn film. I'd rather see them tackle something else. Hell, I'd rather see them do something completely new but a big screen Gary Mitchell film would do me good.
DS9 gets really good from the end of S2 right to the end. The Riker beard theory generally applies to Sisko's beard.
There are also several great character development episodes and plot episodes in S1 and early S2.
If you really want to skip through S1 and S2, just watch the S1 premiere, The Nagus, Vortex, Duet, the S1 finale and S2 3-part premiere, Armageddon Game, The Maquis 2-parter and then everything after that.

Haven't been following any GAF Trek threads so maybe this was already discussed, but I just saw that IDW is doing a tie-in comic and issue #1 of their Star Trek ongoing last year covered the Mitchell story. Might not mean anything, or they could have been asked to set it up.
Article mentions the writer of the comic "is working under the guidance of Star Trek and sequel writer/producer Roberto Orci."

Yeah. No one knows if it's actual setup or just the comics doing their own thing. I'm going to assume the latter. I still want to pick up these books.

Can You Imagine What SureAI Is Going To Do With Garfield?
Looks good. Last scene in JP version definitely makes it look like a Khan remake. KHHHAAAAANNNN!!!!
This movie isn't touching on social issues, get real. Did you not watch the 2009 movie?
Khan has been done, and done well. Let Mitchell have a go.

Its great if you stop watching the series half way into the last episode.
The last 20 mins are just shit
Yeah, they don't look too bad. I kind of dug some of their Who and early Angel comics so I might have to check it out.
Not sure how a comic sets up a movie when 99% of the movie audience won't have seen the comic.
