SPOCK dives into a volcano, the Enterprise goes for a swim and Captain Kirk breaks the golden rule of the Star Trek universe (and apparently has an alien threesome), and that's just the first few minutes of Star Trek Into Darkness.
The sequel to JJ Abrams'reboot of the long-running sci-fi franchise, which had its world premiere in Sydney in 2009 and made $385 million at the box office, also features terrorist attacks on London and San Francisco, a brand-new bad guy in Bendict Cumberbatch (of Sherlock and Parade's End fame) and looks like it will deliver on its promise of being bigger and better than its lauded predecessor.
Producer Bryan Burk said after an exclusive screening of 40 mintues of footage in Sydney that he and long-time partner Abrams, creators of TV hits Alias and Lost, wanted to create a Star Trek movie for people who didn't like Star Trek. Burk hopes the new film will do for sci-fi and the Star Trek universe what Iron Man did for comic book movies, dragging them out of the geek fringe to a much broader audience.
"I think with the first one we got a lot of people who had dipped in and out of the Star Trek universe over the last 40 years and got a lot of new people along the way but that allows us now to go a lot further and open it up to everyone else. People went to see the last film who weren't expecting to like it and I feel for this film that if people have adamantly avoided Star Trek and thought it wasn't for them, they will be pleasantly surprised. It was really important to make a film where if you hadn't seen the last one, you could just jump in."
Burk and Abrams were both Star Wars fans rather than Star Trek fans as children and have been recently charged with rebooting George Lucas's movies, with the just announced new trilogy of movies. While details are sketchy and Burk is tight-lipped about plans for the further adventures of Luke, Leia and Han, he says juggling the two franchises won't be problem as he sees them as completely different.
"It's been very surreal," Burk said of the approach to resurrect the Star Wars movies, which had taken a battering after Lucas's controversial prequels. "It's very early in the process of Star Wars, but it feels like we are on the precipice of jumping into that world.
"The worlds couldn't be more different. The only thing they have in common is the word 'star' and they take place in outer space. Star Trek doesn't take place in a galaxy far, far away it's not science fiction, it's science fact, it's 100 per cent our future. The guy who invented the cellphone said he was inspired by watching Star Trek."
Star Trek Into Darkness opens in Australia on May 9.
