Here's the rundown.
John Harrison/Khan? is part of the Botany Bay's sleeper cells that Peter Weller of Section 31 has found, confiscated, awoken, and recruited one member holding the rest hostage.
Harrison plays along with and then turns on Weller hoping to reawaken the rest of the sleepers, which may or may not include Khan, killing Admiral Pike in the process, decimating Star Fleet and fleeing with the sleeper cells forcing Kirk to disobey orders and seek revenge. Harrison captured.
The two hands picture on glass picture is after Harrison turns the tables and imprisons Kirk forcing Spock to do his bidding.
Spock re-turns the tables and the crew goes after Khan, a merry chase through the galaxy ending on Qo'Nos, where Harrison is offering tech to the Klingons where the final battle occurs.
Final scene: Kirk and Spock at the destroyed sleeper cells, one catches Kirk's attention, who points it out to Spock who says "Khan Noonien Singh'- and sure enough, Ricardo Montalban's face from Space Seed is digitally superimposed/recreated on the corpse,

You seem to know a lot. Where did you get this information from? or is this simply your imagination running wild?

Either you work on the set or that is an amazing piece of fan fiction

Regarding the "Are You The 1701" website, assuming they aren't just boilerplate, the TOS and Privacy Policy seem to reveal a small amount about what it's going to be.

From the privacy policy (emphasis mine):

Personally identifiable information ("PII") is information that identifies you or could reasonably be used to identify you personally (such as your real name, address, phone number, or e-mail address). We may ask you to provide us with certain PII, when you register with us, or at other times, such as if you choose to sign-up for an e-mail newsletter, participate in a game, contest, sweepstakes, or other promotional event, or enter into a transaction for goods or services. We may also ask you to provide us with demographic information, information

This seems to indicate that there will be "games, contests, sweepstakes, or other promotional events"

From the TOS:

Keyword here is "may," but this seems to indicate that the website will have a lot of community-made content.

basically, it looks like it's going to be something along the lines of Neowin for Star Trek o.o
of course, the fact that all contact emails in the TOS/Privacy Policy point to generic paramount addresses could indicate that it is just boilerplate. jm2c

Interesting how our friend Alfredodedarc hasn't replied to our questions yet.

Saw the preview of this last night at the cinema. Mixed feelings if I'm honest... visually looked awesome but it seemed pretty cheesy and cliché. And boy, not sure if it was just specific to the IMAX theatre I watched it in, but it was RIDICULOUSLY LOUD. I will of course go and see it when it comes out just because it's Star Trek - and that clip they keep eluding to of the Enterprise nosediving into a large body of water looks rather interesting

The Enteprise looks like its gonna get quite a beating on this one so I am not surprised that is it crashing on the water, but then again, it could be Harrison's ship as well. We'll see.

Oh and by the way, JJ Abrahams doesn't make cheesy movies. The man is a master at what he does.

The Ultimate Clue Regarding the Star Trek Into Darkness Villain? - IGN

In Summer 2013, director J.J. Abrams will deliver an explosive action thriller that takes Star Trek Into Darkness.

In the wake of a shocking act of terror from within their own organization, the crew of The Enterprise is called back home to Earth. In defiance of regulations and with a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads his crew on a manhunt to capture an unstoppable force of destruction and bring those responsible to justice.

As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew.

That is your opinion - not fact. You're entitled to yours, I'm entitled to mine. I think the guy makes great movies but I still found what I saw in the trailer to be cheesy.

You only saw a few minutes of it. The full movie will blow your mind. J.J Abrahams is a man of his word and when he said this movie is mind blowing, you better believe it. They got a bigger budget this time. Those visuals look pretty sick. Watching the Enterprise getting battered gave me goose bumps. The last time the NCC-1701 got really battered was on Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

On how director JJ Abrams pitched the role to Cumberbatch--
"JJ described the role in movie terms as a mixture of Hannibal Lector, Jack in the Shining and The Joker in Batman. There are sorts of levels to pitch in amongst quite a high bar as well to succeed in comparison to. It was a framework to understand this character before I saw the whole script."

What 'John Harrison' brings in terms of threat-level---
"He's someone who has extraordinary physical strength, he is someone who is incredibly dangerous as both a physical entity and as a user of various technologies and weapons. He performs acts of terrorism but he's also a psychological master. He manipulates the minds of those around him to do his bidding in a very, very subtle way. It was a wonderful game of mental chess...."
