How Excited are You about Star Trek Into Darkness?

Just a simple discussion thread.

Are you extremely excited, somewhat excited, in the middle, not excited at all but will see it eventually or are not interested in Into Darkness at all?

I'm looking forward to it but not "excited" yet. I'll get that way once I see the first teaser.

The family tradition is that I always see the first showing of all Trek movies with my dad (and recently my 13-yr old niece -- they're the two Trekkies in the household other than yours truly).

My dad is 85. In okay health but still... so I pretty much want this movie to be released yesterday. I think he's more excited about it than I am right now.

In IMDb site I read in cast list some actors and actresses called Star Fleet Civilian or Civilian. Will we see any Starfleet facility or an civilian starship?

In Memory Alpha I read in Stunt performers list:
Paul Sklar - stunt double: Peter Weller
Cassandra McCormick - stunt double: Alice Eve and utility stunts

Will we have action scenes with Weller and Eve?
Weller, if I remember correctly, said something like playing a starship captain.

I am very excited and I'll probably become fucking giddy as soon as the trailer is out and the calendar for 2013 goes up on the wall.

Agree.

And the Star Trek daily calendar is back for 2013, too.

I picked this up on Thursday night. Looks the same format as previous years. But... I was surprised it was quotes and info only - no pictures!

What! No pictures?!

Also.. I wish we could get a JJTrek calendar every year

I doubt mine was a misprint.

I am absolutely flummoxed by this news.

I doubt it, too. I just cannot understand why they would not include photos. I was going to order it for my desk at work - but not any more.

I expert star trek 2013 to be one of the best summer movies of next year just like the 09 film was. So my expectations are pretty high, I expect it to be better than Iron Man 3 and even man of steel.

Lastly I hope it can get a world gross of 500 million dollars.

A text-only calendar pad would be much cheaper to reproduce. It's been quite a few years since we got a page-a-day calendar for ST. It's packed in the usual cardboard box. New fans wouldn't know the difference. Older collectors buy it and don't realise it is text-only until they get it home; I assume some will return it for a refund. Casual buyers picking it up for Christmas gift-giving probably don't find until until after December 31 that it has no pics.

So is it just quotes?

Quotes, trivia, character biographies... same as before but no pics.
