With the cast of J.J. Abrams successful reboot of the Star Trek universe ready to get back into character (Zoe Saldana talks Star Trek 2), it's inevitable that fans are looking for any clue about the second films plot. This week an animated short is making the rounds on the web, and has everyone thinking that perhaps this is viral marketing for the next 'Trek'.
Clocking in at 1min 52 seconds, the mini-flick gives fans of the Trek universe a taste of Klingon propaganda, a la Dr. Strangelove and Starship Troopers. Fans have already jumped the gun, suggesting the clip is a clue to the next film, while others believe it may be viral marketing for a new Animated series.
It's more than likely that this little gem of fandom could be the work of a really talented 'Trekkie'. The animation has been credited to Bad Monkey Studios and according to Klingon language experts, the clip directs viewers to a website: tlhingan(dot)com.
Bad Monkey Studios is also the talent behind the 2008 Star Trek parody " Don't Deport Me Scotty".
