Star Trek Into Darkness rumored to be title of J.J. Abrams' upcoming sequel
MarkMonitor, a popular domain registry, the same registry in fact that secured the title for Paramount Pictures' G.I. Joe Retaliation, has confirmed that both www.startrekintodarkness.com and www.startrekintodarknessmovie have been registered as Internet website domains.
This, of course, has led to the speculation that the new title of Star Trek 2 is now Star Trek Into Darkness. The concern here is that there is no colon. Director J.J. Abrams means the title in a literal sense, in that our beloved group of characters will take a trek through the stars into darkness.
At this time, the title has been neither confirmed nor denied by the studio. Fans across the galaxy have called the title absolutely horrible. But is it any worse than the recent Paramount sequel titles Transformers: Dark of the Moon or Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol? What do you guys think? Should this be the title? Should they ditch it before its too late? Or, it's Star Trek 2...Who cares?
Star Trek Into Darkness was released May 17th, 2013 and stars Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, John Cho, Benedict Cumberbatch, Anton Yelchin. The film is directed by J.J. Abrams.

I just don't think it works grammatically without the colon. Star Trek is not an imperative verb phrase, it's a noun phrase, as in "a trek among the stars."
It would be the equivalent of calling it: Star Trek Where No Man Has Gone Before

@narrator@the-movieghost I like it because it isn't something superfluous. It gets right to the point without using unnecessary language.

@ejk1 Isn't it though? And @narrator had a great point, even more so since they're not making it "Star Trek 2: Into Darkness". That would be even worse.

Agreed, @ejk1. At least they're not being lazy and placing a 2 after the title. Bleh.

I hope it's Star Trek: Into Darkness, not Star Trek Into Darkness. That just sounds awkward.

@stefanos@bawnian-dexeus@Joshua-Hollaway Star Trek into Darkness, doesnt look like a title, they should go with, Star Trek: Dark Frontier or Star Trek: The Dark Frontier.

Its unwieldy to have colons in domain names. In fact I dont think I have ever seen them in Domain names, so I wouldnt read to much into that. Regardless, cant wait for this. I hope they manage to keep the sense of urgency and fun frmo the first.

How about "Star Trek: Wrath of Hollaway"

The concern is there is no colon? It's a web domain, they don't have colons. The title like Transformers: Dark of the Moon, has a colon but not in the web domain. Also, ST2 needs to be darker. Best sequels are always darker in title and story. Wrath of Kahn and Empire Strikes back, 2 separate franchise series with better sequels and darker than originals. Good move for ST2.
