Apparently filming finishes this week.

Yeah, they're in some amazing lab in San Francisco. In this interview Benedict said he only had one day left so I think he's done by now.

Yeah, they are over at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, a few miles from here. But they apparently just finished this afternoon. Wonder where the wrap party is this evening?

Aye, Zachary Quinto posted a wrap pic this morning.

Post production will now take nearly a year. The film is due to be screened May 2013. Cannot wait!

I cannot wait, I cannot wait :D ZQ and BC are one of the finest actors in my opinion! It will be a great pleasure to see both of them in one movie. No, even more than that: A dream come true!

I really liked ZQs Version of Spock. I could never really connect with Pine's Kirk but maybe this will change as well.. we'll see (:...in one year

Here's a nice one about bad guy Benedict: http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Star-Trek-Sequel-Writer-Benedict-Cumberbatch-Sequels-About-Your-Bad-Guy-31434.html.

I never liked fantasy and films like Star Trek. But after having seen the shoots from it with Benedict I have made up my mind I ought to watch it!
And he looks so attractively as a villain .

Am I the only one that thinks BC would make a great Vulcan? I mean, already looks like one -- and I mean that as a compliment.

**Posted by Dramagod** June 21, 2012 8:37 pm

Not sure if he'd suit that good being one without emotions, as I think his face and eyes put out emotions so well. I could see him putting people down with the Vulcan grip though.

Looks like Benedict is on the receiving end of the Vulcan pinch in some of the set pics, one of which can be seen in that linked article above. I can't wait to see what he does as the villain in the new Trek movie. I liked the first one a lot, and have been looking forward to the new one.

But look at him in Sherlock. Even John calls him "Spock."

Today I heard in radio about new romours regarding Ben's part in Star Treck.
I searched the net - an now I wonder: Who the hell is Dominic Cumberbatch??

http://www.trekzone.de/content/dt/news/2012-07-09-1-star-trek-xii-neue-spekulationen-um-cumberbatchs-rolle.htm

(This one is German - short version: the newest rumour shall be Gary Mitchell - but maybe it was just a joke.)

Anyway, it was quite an experience to hear the names "Cumberbatch" and "Sherlock" in German radio. Seldom....

***POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT***
It is possible, as reported in various press reports that Benedict may be playing Gary Mitchell in the new Star Trek movie. Karl Urban apparently let slip in an interview that Benedict is, 'awesome, he's a great addition...I think his Gary Mitchell is going to be exemplary.'

This could be a red herring though!

**Posted by Smoggy_London_Air** July 13, 2012 6:22 pm

I think he's probably playing Gary Mitchell. I hope he's playing Gary Mitchell. Khan would just be kind of tacky, in my opinion, what with a white guy stomping around and raving about racial superiority.

I read the Star Trek wiki article on Gary Mitchell and he does seem like a good role for our Benedict.

I was hoping he would play Q. He would make a really good Q.

More: They think he might be playing Gary Seven, which seems more likely, since we've seen the set pics where a Vulcan Nerve pinch proves ineffective, and the character Gary Seven is supposed to have this quality.

Furthermore, it seems as if my dreams about him playing Q have finally been smashed. Ah, well.

**Posted by sherlockskitty** July 13, 2012 9:19 pm

Oh really? Ben's not playing Q? I LOVED that charrie in ST TNG. What is the title of the first Star trek movie that you are talking about here? I've seen other ST movies--FROM NUMBER 1, TO THE ONE with the whales in san francisco. Then I saw the one that was made in 2008 or 2009....
I remember seeing the other artilce where they showed a pic of Ben with his face under some ice. Wonder what that's all about?

when is this movie going to be out in theaters in the USA?

Karl Urban tells/shows Capone what his Comic-Con punishment by J.J. Abrams is for spilling the beans on a STAR TREK 2 secret!!!

Capone: I have to ask, how much hot water did you get in for that bit of news you let slip about STAR TREK 2 last week?

Karl Urban: I was afraid you were going to ask that. J.J. Abrams sent me something for Comic-Con this week and told me that anytime I was asked a question about STAR TREK, I had to do this…[Karl removes a long strip of masking tape with something written on it off the leg of his jeans, where it has been stuck since he walked in the room, then proceeds to do this, posing for my photograph quite willingly]

Interesting fact for Trekkies from the lovely Cumberbatchweb site.
If you are not following Cumberbatchweb on Twitter or checking their site regularly http://www.benedictcumberbatch.co.uk/ , I suggest you do so if you want the latest news & gossip.

Not only for trekkies, Kazza. Head to toe in leather .
