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?

It's coming out next May. I want to say the 17th but that's just off the top of my head. I'm really excited, because I've loved Star Trek even longer than I've loved Sherlock. I am a Next Generation fangirl, though. For some reason I could never love Kirk as much as Picard.

He's always dressed from head to toe in leather when he's on his motorbike anyway.

Unfortunately he never comes my way on his motorbike .

Everytime I see a fit chap on a motorbike, I imagine it's him... well, it could be anyone, couldn't it, so why not him? Okay, that's a little creepy - sorry!

Hm. I don't think he will be Q since I think they don't do characters from TNG, do they?
I don't think he's doing Khan either, since Simon Pegg said he's not playing him and I believe him, hehe. And I kind of don't want him to be Khan.
Don't know about that Gary Mitchell guy, I think I've read somewhere he's not. He is, though, definitely canon and not a new character.
Whoever he is playing, I hope it's an interesting character... but I bet he is!

I think it's amazing how much they can keep secret about this movie - not even the name of the main villain is known!

Roberto Orci has denied that Benedict is playing Gary Mitchell in the film.
'Alice Eve and Benedict will be canon! That means Eve and Cumberbatch are playing characters we've seen before in the original series.'

Whoever he is, him playing the villain in this movie is a dream come true!! Can't wait!!

Just had a thought: Maybe Ben plays a Gorn!

^ Same again

Seeing those leaked pics of Zach and Ben fighting make me even more excited.

**Posted by besleybean** October 8, 2012 7:38 pm

Seeing Mr Quinto with Benedict at the Emmy's...made me very interested!

**Posted by Sam** October 8, 2012 8:00 pm

I know, they really seemed to love each other (platonicly). Adorbs.

Wouldn't BC make a good Vulcan, too, with those eyes and cheekbones?

I know...I think a reassessment of characters would be feasible, but hey, I never even saw the 1st film!

Finally some news about Star Trek:

Looks like The Hobbit and the ST preview will be competing with each other - or maybe I should say complementing each other. They both come out around the same time I think. It would be frosting on my cake to go see The Hobbit and have this preview come on first. Will The Hobbit show at IMAX theaters I wonder? I would think so.....*lining up to buy my ticket now*

More details from here

http://trekmovie.com/2012/11/15/exclusive-first-star-trek-into-darkness-trailer-also-premiering-dec-14th/

"TrekMovie has exclusively learned from multiple trusted sources that the first trailer forStar Trek Into Darkness will premiere with screenings of Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey on December 14th. To be clear this Trek trailer is a completely different thing than the 9-minute preview of the beginning of the new movie which will be shown at IMAX screenings of the Hobbit film. Also TrekMovie has confirmed that the IMAX screenings will not be showing the trailer for Star Trek Into Darkness. So if you want trailer see non-IMAX Hobbit and if you want preview of opening 9 minutes see IMAX Hobbit.

Details are still sketchy on the trailer itself, however TrekMovie has confirmed it is not a condensed version of the 9-minute preview showing on IMAX. Specifically sources confirm the trailer contains material from many parts of the movie. We have also learned that this is a traditional theatrical trailer and not just short teaser trailer.

While the trailer will show exclusively with non-IMAX screenings of The Hobbit on the weekend of December 14th, it should be available with additional films by the following weekend, including Paramount’s new Jack Reacher film opening December 21st. It is also expected to be available online. If JJ Abrams sticks with tradition, the trailer would be released online after the first weekend. However, this is not the case for the 9-minute preview of Star Trek Into Darkness showing on IMAX screens. Sources tell TrekMovie the opening sequence preview will not be made available online."

I already bought regular movie tickets so now I must see it in IMAX the second viewing ;) Very excited for the trailer - we best get a glimpse of Ben!
