You've seen the "Star Trek Into Darkness" trailers. So far all we know is the Enterprise is in deep trouble (again), Abrams has "upped the ante," and Captain Kirk jumps off a cliff. And no, we still don't know much about Benedict Cumberbatch's role, except that he's a villain and appears to have been captured by the Federation.
But when it comes to genuine spoilers, this "Trek" is on lockdown, thanks to director J.J. Abrams and his creative team.
Damon Lindelof, Abrams' former "Lost" co-creator and one of the writers on the "Star Trek" sequel, shares the "Star Wars" and "Star Trek" helmer's spoil-free philosophy.
"The audience needs to have the same experience that the ['Trek'] crew is having," Lindelof told the Los Angeles Times.
"You're Kirk, you're Spock, you're McCoy, so if they don't know who the
bad guy is going to be in the movie, then you shouldn't know," he
added, arguing further that if you give away the villain before the film
comes out, you give audiences "a five-second rush of exhilaration
followed by four months of being completely and totally bummed out."
"That's why they're called 'spoilers,' they're not called 'awesomes'," Lindelof said.
The following is Yahoo! Movies' list of flicks that were not-so-awesomely spoiled before they even came out:

Lucky for Abrams, this happened way before he took over the "Star Wars" franchise. David Prowse, who played Vader (the voice was dubbed by James Earl Jones), revealed in press interviews two whole years before "The Empire Strikes Back" came out that his character is, shockingly, Luke Skywalker's father. He told a fanzine, "In the next film, there is going to be a confrontation between Luke and Darth Vader and they then discover that Darth Vader never killed his father, that Darth Vader IS his father. So son can't kill father, and father can't kill son — so Darth Vader lives into the next sequel."
