Spoilers STAR TREK BEYOND

This appeared in a story on Tech Times, June 30. Apologies if it's appeared elsewhere on these boards. I tried to do due diligence:

The relevant parts:
Lin said that the screenplay penned by Pegg and Doug Jung does not borrow any plotlines from the previous Star Trek movies or TV series the way Into Darkness did.
and

"It's all new and fresh ... The Klingons, Romulans and other species are great, but it's time to go further. It has been fun to focus on creating whole new worlds and species," he said.
I had no problem with Khan and Klingons in STID, but this will be nice, too.

Isn't that Tagline similar to one of the trailer ones from TWOK? I'm thinking it was 'Beyond Darkness, Lies Khan' or something like that.

If that really was the line that was used before and I haven't just pulled it out of my ass, then I'm a bit skeptical about that poster until somone confirms it. They just put too much focus on 'all new', and if it's a deliberate reference you'd think they'd just put 'Beyond Darkness, lies Destiny'.

I might be wrong though. My TWOK poster certainly has a different Tagline.

You are not entirely wrong. The TWOK poster I found on a quick search was: Beyond the end of the universe lies the beginning of vengeance.

I think that most of the tag lines were something like that. But, that was the first one I found.
 
I found what I was thinking of:

Beyond the darkness...beyond the human evolution...is Khan. A genetically superior tyrant. Exiled to a barren planet; banished by a Starship Commander he is destined to destroy. Left for dead, Khan has survived.

It's from a trailer. I'd link it, but safari keeps crashing on my iPad when I try.

I'm really hopeful they can do more stuff like the prologue of STID, which was probably the most fun I've had of any scene in the two reboot films. It felt like an updated version of TOS that didn't stray too far from what we should get from a Star Trek property.

I just hope we don't get another 'force out to destroy the Federation' thing that isn't necessary. You can do a ST film where the Federation itself is not at stake, but the Enterprise or crew is. WoK and SFS did it well.

Not sure those really count, since both films involved the villains seeking the Genesis technology as a weapon of mass destruction. Granted, Khan mainly used it as a lure for Kirk, but it was implicit that if he'd won, he would've used Genesis to conquer. And Kruge was overtly seeking it as a weapon.
 
You are not entirely wrong. The TWOK poster I found on a quick search was: Beyond the end of the universe lies the beginning of vengeance.

Look again. It's "At the end of the universe lies the beginning of vengeance." I remember that one from back in the day, partly because it's so nonsensical.

I always thought they were trying to use "end" in "the end of the universe" in the same sense as "ends" in "the ends of the Earth", except they're just talking about one out of the way place, namely Ceti Alpha V. Where it falls down, of course, is that "the end of the universe" evokes the Big Crunch/Big Bounce/heat death/etc., as appropriate, instead.
 
"Beyond despair lies destiny" isn't as good as the STID trailer tagine, "Beyond the Darkness lies greatness" (and let's all be glad they didn't call the third one "Star Trek Into Greatness")
 
Every time I see the title I keep thinking: 'Star Trek Beyond the Valley of the Dolls.'

I have no idea why.
