Star Trek 2 Has A New Title?

[The Mirrorball Man]

I'm sure they'll change it...

STID just doesn't feel right for a Trek movie...

even just Star Trek: Darkness would be better than Star Trek into Darkness

It would be much more familiar, that much is certain.

I really don't think that "familiar" is what we need.

 

[Kelso]

I do think Star Trek: Darkness is better. Kind of goes with the other one word titles, Insurrection, Nemesis, Generations.

That's exactly why they shouldn't do it that way.

 

[Mach5]

Spoiler: You thought of this too, didn't you?

 

[Caretaker]

Well, I would change "Into" to just the word "In" - Star Trek: In Darkness. That way it plays better off of McCoy's line from the previous film, "Space is disease and danger wrapped in darkness and silence."

That's the problem. "Star Trek: Darkness" sounds like more of the same.

As for Generations, I often see it spelled "Star Trek Generations" without the colon and I like it that way. It's quite appropriate, given that the movie covers two generations of Trek. "Star Trek Into Darkness", on the other hand, doesn't have the same clever play on words or natural flow to it.

That is kind of cool.

ST:XIII could be Star Trek: In Silence

 

[ChristopherPike]

It's too vague and nebulous. Not particularly Trekish or grandiose sounding.

I felt sure To Boldly Go was a natural shoe-in. With or without Star Trek nearby for marketing purposes.

 

[Saul]

Not impressed by the title but it won't effect how the film will turn out.

 

[Ryan8bit]

This thread is probably an example of why they don't want to release details, even simple ones like the title.

I don't mind it that much. The only thing I wonder is what it implies for the story and tone.

 

[Set Harth]

I do think Star Trek: Darkness is better.

At least we could be asking people next year, "Did you catch STD?"

 

[AvBaur]

Hm... not so sure about that title.

How about "Trek 2 the Stars" instead?

 

[Ryan Thomas Riddle]

I can live with it. I kinda like it. Would've preferred something without "Star Trek" in the title that played off some Trek catchphrases, such as:

Where No Man Has Gone Before
The Final Frontier
Strange New World(s)
These Are The Voyages
To Boldly Go ...
Boldly Go

But I am very, very happy that they are trying to eliminate the damn colon.

Boldly Go

I think you mean more like this:

Where No Man Has Star Trekked Before
The Star Trek Frontier
Strange New Star Treks
These Are the Star Treks
To Boldly Star Trek
Star Trekking

I suspect Lindelhof was involved in the title. Ugh.

Typo. I meant "without" and corrected my previous post.

 

[shapeshifter]

I'm torn.

My first impression was - ugh, but the more I think about and consider everything it could encompass I then have a moment of embracing the title. Then I remember all the times Star Trek didn't live up to high expectations in the past and I'm back to, ugh, again.

 

[MarsWeeps]

Maybe it will be "Star Trekkin' 2...Darkness"

Seriously though, if a title of a movie is going to make it or break it, it's already failed.

That's what I thought, too. I would have gone with "To Boldly Go" if I was naming the film.

"Space is Sexually Transmitted Intersteller Disease and danger wrapped in darkness and silence"

Sexually Transmitted Intersteller Disease - a dazzling journey through the sexual conquests of James T Kirk setting sail, at a cinema near you, May 2013.....The Human Adventure Continues....

 

[F. King Daniel]

What could the "darkness" be? Perhaps the star desert surrounding Gothos?

 

[M'Sharak]

What could the "darkness" be? Perhaps the star desert surrounding Gothos?

Or the Zone of Darkness surrounding the Space Amoeba in "The Immunity Syndrome"?

(No, wait... that one was re-used already for TMP. Never mind!)
