J.J Abrams has said that fans initially didn’t understand the Star Trek Into Darkness title.
The 46-year-old director and actor, recalled how confused 'trekkies' were when they first heard the name of the new sci-fi flick.
Speaking to Total Film magazine, Abrams said: ''[The title is] odd. ''But my favourite thing about it was the first week it was out there, the fans were going, 'Star Trek Into What? I don't understand it. It's stupid'.''
He added: ''It definitely feels like the title's appropriate. This is a story about these characters being challenged and tested and taken to a place that's about sacrifice and life and death ...
''I remember there was a movie, An Innocent Man, and I was like, doesn't that kinda ruin everything?!?''
Star Trek Into Darkness is in cinemas on May 9.
