TheStar Trek Beyondtitle has been rumoredfor several weeks already, but until now we didn’t have ironclad confirmation. It’s a bit generic sounding, but at least it’s a better title than the awkwardStar Trek Into Darkness. (Paramountlater confirmed the titlewith a release calendar update.)
The picture isn’t terribly revealing, as it’s just a close-up of a Starfleet logo patch on a uniform. Still, it’s been two years since the lastStar Trekadventure, so it’s just nice to see that the new one is finally on track. Previously, starsZoe Saldana(Uhura) andZachary Quinto(Spock)shared some behind-the-scenes snapswhen production got underway last week.
Very few details have been revealed aboutStar Trek Beyond, other than that it’ll follow the Enterprise crew on their five-year mission. In terms of the general feel, we’ve heard it could be"lessStar Trek-y"— but what exactly that means, and whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing, is still open for debate.
