"Star Trek Into Darkness" trailer released

British star Benedict Cumberbatch will play the villain in J.J. Abrams' "Star Trek" sequel

Chris Pine and Zoe Saldana return to lead in the J.J. Abrams sequel, "Star Trek Into Darkness," in which Captain Kirk (Pine) will venture to a dangerous world in order to save his own. Paramount has just released the trailer, and so far it seems like a bizarre/exciting mix of "Inception" meets "Prometheus," of course with a necessary dose of "Sherlock's" Benedict Cumberbatch:

The movie is set to release May 17.
