Paramount Pictures has revealed a new poster for J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek Into Darkness that features the movie’s "villain" played by Benedict Cumberbatch marching through the what appears to be the ruins of London under the caption "Earth Will Fall."  The highly anticipated sequel to Abrams’ first Star Trek film is set for release on May 15th at IMAX theaters, and May 17th everywhere.  With the release of the film so close, Paramount has ramped up the release of publicity including another action-packed trailer that was unveiled in late March (see "Villain Featured in New 'Star Trek Into Darkness' Trailer").

 

In addition to the new poster Paramount also released some hi-res stills from the new film that feature its talented young cast including this "code red" shot of Captain Kirk (Chris Pine) on the Enterprise bridge.

 

 

 

The action shot features a space rifle-toting Spock (Zachary Quinto) with Kirk and Uhura (Zoe Soldana).

 

 

 

 

 

Here’s a calmer shot of Spock and Uhura on the bridge.

Is the circular device on Benedict Cumberbatch’s arm some sort of restraining device?
