It was previously reported that the first theatrical trailer for
Star Trek Into Darkness would be attached to screenings of
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, which hits theaters December 14th. Additionally, a nine-minute prologue will be shown during IMAX 3D screenings of the Peter Jackson film. But that's not all of the footage that we can expect from the highly anticipated
Star Trek sequel. Yesterday,
the official French Facebook page for the J.J. Abrams-directed film reported that a new trailer will be released online on December 6th, eight days ahead of
The Hobbit's theatrical debut. The folks over at
TrekMovie have confirmed that a teaser trailer will debut this Thursday. The trailer, which has a one-minute running time, is intended to be an online exclusive, so don't expect it to be shown in theaters.
As for the trailer that will be shown with
The Hobbit, TrekMovie also report that this one will be entirely different from the teaser, and will have a running time of over two minutes. It will also have footage "beyond" the nine-minute prologue, and that each trailer will have unique footage. And yes, this trailer will be released online, but not until after its first weekend of running in theaters.
Star Trek Into Darkness stars Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Benedict Cumberbatch, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, Alice Eve and Anton Yelchin. The film is set to hit theaters May 17th, 2013.
