Judge Dredd is the kind of guy who takes a licking and keeps on ticking. 

So it's not terribly surprising that Dredd's lack of punch at the box office last year doesn't necessarily mean we'll never see Karl Urban grimacing his chin off under Dredd's helmet in a follow-up.

Opening in theaters on May 17th is the highly anticipated new film Star Trek Into Darkness, which is a sequel to 2009's Star Trek - a reboot of the classic science fiction franchise.

A week out from the twelfth Star Trek's theatrical release, we have yet another shuttlecraft-sized haul of goodies from Star Trek Into Darkness.

This time, we have an action-packed official clip from early in the film, a behind the scenes featurette showcasing Karl Urban as Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy, and even the news that once-in-a-lifetime director Edgar Wright contributed a single shot to JJ Abrams's sequel.

Between domestic and international one sheets, we've already seen somewhere in the range of twenty posters for Star Trek Into Darkness.

So what's one more?

And while we're at it, we also have a new international behind the scenes featurette focused squarely on Simon Pegg as Montgomery Scott, who finally says what we've been thinking for months by incredulously asking, "Do you have any idea how ridiculous it is to hide a starship on the bottom of the ocean?"

You want some official Star Trek Into Darkness promotional goodies?

You got 'em, as Paramount has unveiled a brand new clip that doesn't exactly give a whole lot away, but reinforces that the twelfth Star Trek does have a heavy element of Starfleet conspiracy.  And that's not all, as we also have two very different new posters, one featuring Alice Eve as Carol Marcus and another reserved just for early IMAX attendees.

If you're not yet suffering from Star Trek Into Darkness poster fatigue, then two new character posters might just push you over the line. 

Either way, you're in luck, because with addition of domestic posters featuring Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy and Hikaru Sulu round out the core crew of the USS Enterprise.  So perhaps this is the end of the posterization for some time.
