How J.J. Abrams Altered Star Trek Into Darkness To Hide Its SecretsIt’s too bad it’s impossible to get an exact count on how many people were drawn in by the film’s advertising campaign. I can’t assume a large number of people went based on Abrams’ trademark secrecy, which didn’t quite work for this film the way it did with Super 8....by Nick Venable | published: 2013-05-20 13:32:16comments
Star Trek Into Darkness: Will There Be A Sequel, And Who Should Make It?Star Trek Into Darkness is a hit. Not a giant hit, and not the kind of thing that has studios calling all of their rivals and screaming "Suck it!" while guzzling champagne at 8 a.m. (at least , that's how we picture it), but a big enough hit all the same. Especially when you account for its huge improvement with global audiences, Star Trek Into Darkness has done well enough to keep the franchise alive… which means, inevitably, it's time to start talking about sequels...by Katey Rich | published: 2013-05-20 07:38:39comments

Watch William Shatner And Billy Dee Williams Make Star Wars Suggestions To J.J. AbramsABC's affiliation with Disney seems to be paying off a bit more for Jimmy Kimmel Live since Disney acquired the Star Wars franchise. Last month, Kimmel staged a pretty heated (and amusing) confrontation between Harrison Ford and his old pal Chewbacca. Apparently the two had a falling out over an indiscretion between Chewy and Leia. The topic of the wookiee came up again this week when Star Wars and Star Trek director J.J. Abrams visited Kimmel's show. ...by Kelly West | published: 2013-05-18 11:16:45comments
Star Trek Into Darkness Makes $22 Million On Friday, Barely More Than The First OneA lot of people were expecting Star Trek Into Darkness, with the added benefit of 3D and a big-time villain its center, to open a whole lot bigger than the first Star Trek film that J.J. Abrams directed in 2009. And while the movie is much bigger than the first one overseas-- which is what really counts these days-- it's not any bigger here at home, and that's even with the 3D bump....by Katey Rich | published: 2013-05-18 09:50:21comments

Why Star Trek Into Darkness And Iron Man 3 Opened Overseas FirstAs movies like Iron Man 3 and Oblivion proved, we’ll show up when the studio finally opens the movie here.

Star Trek Merchandise Fights Stopped J.J. Abrams From Building A Massive Trek WorldLicensing and merchandising rights debates mired Bad Robot and Paramount in legal battles with CBS about what elements from Star Trek canon could be used … and which couldn’t.

Star Trek Into Darkness: Was The Mystery Box Worth It?Abrams is famous for his "Mystery Box" approach to storytelling, the idea being that it's better not to know what you're getting before walking into a movie. And though there are surprises in Star Trek Into Darkness that you probably won't know in advance, there are also parts of the film that Abrams went to a lot of effort to keep secret… and don't seem to matter all that much when you know them...by Katey Rich And Sean O'Connell | published: 2013-05-16 09:46:31comments
To 3D Or Not To 3D: Buy The Right Star Trek Into Darkness TicketUnbelievably, J.J. Abrams' first Star Trek opened before Avatar, in a time when not every summer blockbuster was expected to come out in 3D, and before movies were put through the post-conversion wringer to cash in. Four years later things are surprisingly different, and Star Trek Into Darkness has succumbed to the spirit of the times, arriving with post-converted 3D and a whole lot of ads trumpeting the 3D experience. But is it worth it?...by Katey Rich | published: 2013-05-16 06:31:47comments
Simon Pegg: How J.J. Abrams Inspired Him So Much On Star Trek Into Darkness That He Threw UpHe did tell me about where he was when he learned that Abrams would be directing Star Wars, and how he got the director to confirm Trek won't be the older, less cool sibling left behind. We also talked about the serious sprinting Scotty does in one key action scene in Star Trek Into Darkness, what it's like being one of the older cast members, and why he, Edgar Wright and Nick Frost are being so vigilant about maintaining the secrets about their upcoming comedy The World's End...by Katey Rich | published: 2013-05-16 05:53:49comments
Star Trek Into Darkness's John Cho, On Sulu And His Fear Of Alec BaldwinBy the time this year's Star Trek Into Darkness came along, John Cho says he'd become more comfortable stepping into Sulu's shoes-- but with a role that mostly has him on the bridge of the Enterprise and even occasionally taking over the captain's chair, there was a whole new set of challenges. Like, how do you pretend you're under fire when you're sitting on a set?...by Katey Rich | published: 2013-05-15 11:18:37comments
Star Trek Into Darkness 'Spoiled' By Conan O'BrienThe Enterprise crashes on Tattooine? Spock dies?? Kirk is gay?!? These are Earth-shattering revelations … and they are all bogus.
