"Star Trek" sequel will premiere footage in front of "The Hobbit"

"Star Trek" fans will get their first look at what's next for Captain Kirk and crew thanks to a sneak peek on IMAX 3D screens this December.

Paramount Pictures will premiere nine minutes from the J.J. Abrams sequel, which carries the impressively vague title of "Star Trek Into Darkness."

The film, which brings back a cast that includes Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto, hits theaters on May 17, 2013.
