‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Featurette Shows Off Some New Footage

While we go gonzo thinking about JJ Abrams' future 'Star Wars' film, it's still worth noting that, hey, his new movie, 'Star Trek Into Darkness', looks really, really cool. A short and sweet featurette has emerged for the film and it reenforces that sentiment fully, with a few fresh shots for good measure. Watch it after the break!

Running an all-too-brief 1:22, the featurette contains snippets of previously-unseen action in addition to blurbs from Abrams and the cast pumping up the film's awesome-factor. Watching the video, we're reminded that there's possibly more jumping off of things and free-falling in this movie than in any other before it. And we're not complaining.

If you're looking for even more new footage, the film will have a TV spot shown during the 2013 Super Bowl; it's sure to offer us even more imagery to pour over.

Here's the 'Star Trek Into Darkness' synopsis:

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' opens on May 16th.
