Amazing Attractions: Star Trek Into Darkness - Japanese Teaser Trailer
Sequels are often expected to be
darker and more harrowing than their predecessors. This is also true of immediate follow-ups to
successful franchise reboots. The notion
is directly related to the trope of “sequel escalation.” Sequels are generally meant to be “bigger and
better.” Hence, the stakes have to be
raised. This is usually achieved via the
introduction an even more ruthless villain, preferably one who has a score to
settle with the protagonist(s). The Japanese
teaser for Star Trek Into Darkness offers
just that. From the looks of things, it
may be taking fans down a very familiar path.
