Here’s the third (and longest) trailer that’s been released of the new Star Trek movie Into the Darkness. It looks so dope.

The movie, which will be released on May 17, 2013, is directed by J.J. Abrams and written by Damon Lindelof, Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci. Chris Pine plays James T. Kirk, Zachary Quinto returns as Spock, Karl Urban as Bones, Simon Pegg as Scotty and John Cho as Hikaru Sulu, among others.

Michael Connelly’s Harry Bosch series (and any other book by him)

Robert Crais’ Joe Pike & Elvis Cole series
Vince Flynn’s Mitch Rapp series
Tess Gerritsen’s Rizzoli & Isles series
JA Jance’s JP Beaumont, Joanna Brady & Ali Reynolds series
Iris Johansen’s Eve Duncan series
Faye Kellerman’s Decker/Lazarus series
Jonathan Kellerman’s Alex Delaware series
Melissa Miller’s Sasha McCandless series
James Patterson’s Alex Cross series
Kathy Reichs’ Temperance Brennan series
