Pegg is full of praise for Cumberbatch?s baddy, whom he describes [as] ?not just another disgruntled alien. It?s a really interesting? sort of? thing,? he squirms. ?Obviously I can?t talk about it.? While not wanting to get specific, Pegg did flatly deny reports and rumors that Cumberbatch is playing Khan?

?It?s not Khan,? replies Pegg, annoyed. ?That?s a myth. Everyone?s saying it is, but it?s not.?

Well include the good part cause he's 100% right when it comes to spoilers!

?It just spoils the film,? he complains. ?It masquerades as interest in the movie but really it?s just nosiness and impatience. You just want to say, ?Oh f? off! Wait for the film!??

Man I can't wait, i've must have watched the older and new movies over and over 10+ times so far. I know 2012 is looking like a busy year so it's best to release the sequel in 2013 but damnit, so long!

It does seem like a long time... I am not a Star Trek fan personally, but I really liked the movie and am very much looking forward to seeing this one. :)

The latest set of Star Trek sequel photos comes from Anjini Azhar, a young actress who is playing the daughter of Noel Clarke?s character, who is described as a "family man with wife and daughter" (the mother is played by Nanzeen Contractor).

While the frame remained mostly out of sight behind Abrams, the screen behind the director clearly shows a character with his or her face covered by some kind of mask, one that didn't appear anywhere in the previous "Star Trek" film. Since we don't have much context for the shot, it's difficult to say who might be under the mask, but from the looks of it, the character doesn't appear to be a member of Starfleet.

Can't wait :)

Just hope JJ cuts down on the lens flare effects. They were way to distracting in the first movie especially when on the bridge of the enterprise.

It'd be hard to have star trek, even this new reboot/alternate timeline/universe version and not have klingons. I don't know if they're going to be the main bad guys or not in the sequel but I expect to see a good chunk of them regardless.

I don't think it's fan made dude. Check this out:

According to one of the YouTube comments, two of the scenes are from Alien: Resurrection. If that's true, I'm going with fan made.

Forget arguments over whether the movie was good... I just really don't see the point of this.

They say they're going to use the story to address modern issues, just as the original series addressed issues of the 60s. But, whats the point of reusing the old characters, when the old characters were relevant to the 60s also? Chekhov was put in to make a statement about the Cold War, Spock addressed issues about the limits of logic because some people in the 60s wanted to criticize a rational approach to everything. Our culture is different today, we would need characters suited to address modern issues.

And that even aside, I don't see the point of reusing the old characters. Or doing this as a movie series rather than as a television series.

(I have no problem with the concept of a re-imagining in general, I'm kind of tired of fanboys wanting everything consistent with every version of Star Trek and trying to retcon everything to make sense just for the sake of consistency)

And that even aside, I don't see the point of reusing the old characters. Or doing this as a movie series rather than as a television series.

I think reusing old characters makes it easier to connect to the movie and what it stands for. If they came out with new characters that no one knew anything about the movie just wouldn't be the same. The original characters are easily to relate with, even regardless of new actors portraying them, specially given the already large base that knows them. As for movies rather then tv, well scify tv shows are costly and risk of not doing well. Movies, if it's good will offer a much faster return on the investment. Plus again new characters would be better introduced in a tv show then it would be for a movie.

All I know is Kirk > *, I don't care if they try to do what TOS did back in the 60s, I just want another Star Trek movie with the original crew. Besides, why wouldn't the original characters be able to be used to address modern issues anyways? Since this is a reboot there are also a few subtle changes to the characters I'd say. Or it could just be because it's different actors putting their own spin on them, either case it's fine to me.

At a promotional junket for Dredd, Karl Urban may just have let slip who Benedict Cumberbatch is playing in J.J. Abrams' Star Trek sequel. When asked by SFX what it was like having the Sherlock actor on set, Urban replied:

?He?s awesome, he?s a great addition, and I think his Gary Mitchell is going to be exemplary.?

    • I'm not unblocking my camera for this crapola. Sorry, Google.
    • Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.
    • Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.
    • Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!
