Star Trek: Into Darkness

[Emperor]

Beaks here with breaking news from the good folks over at Vulture. According to their sources, talks broke down last Wednesday between Benicio Del Toro's people and Paramount due to, what else, money. Wednesday is key here, since it was last Friday when J.J. Abrams told HitFix's Drew McWeeny it was "not true" that - as alleged by Latino Review - Del Toro would be playing Khan in STAR TREK 2. Basically, Abrams's terse response was in reference to Latino Review's entire story, not specifically to the notion that Khan is the villain in STAR TREK 2.

 

So feel free to speculate anew! Is Khan in STAR TREK 2? (Vulture agrees with Latino Review that he is.) Who should play him? (Luis Guzman.) And, given that this is a completely different timeline, will he indeed be a villain?

So, screw continuity then, eh.

I'm fairly stoked for this movie now.

 

Those things that looked like Stasis Pods, make me want to say yes to the Kahn Theory, or at least a decendent? Cause.. They also show a huge freaking enterprise like ship that definitely doesn't fit with there level of technology...

I haven't been this movie too closely but I did a double-take watching this trailer. Some have been speculating that it's some secret ship designed by the Federation. Others have posed that it's part of the mirror universe. Personally, the design looks like something out of the late 24th century setting. They could be crossing with the original reality again, or maybe it's just featuring time travel. But it's weird.

 

EDIT: Not to get too nerdy, but in checking the lore I noticed that the Enterprise-B featured in Star Trek Generations is captained by a "John Harriman." Cumberbatch's character is named "John Harrison." I'm not saying that's what is in the movie; I'm just brainstorming.

Well, we were all way the hell off on our guesses/theories on this.. Well kinda. The bold is the closest to what happened.

Today, I saw this movie for the first time. Although I would have preferred that Star Trek: Into Darkness have a very original story line, I still enjoyed this movie very much. I rate this movie 4 out of 5 stars.

There were less lens flares than I expected.
