Abrams and Cumberbatch tease his Star Trek Into Darkness villain.

Quote:

About his villain character, Cumberbatch says:

Quote:

He is an extraordinary terrorist of sorts. He uses himself as a warrior with weapons and close hand combat to just reap devastation and havoc wherever he goes and a trail of destruction follows him. What is interesting from an acting point of view — beyond doing the stunts and choreographed fight sequences....was also the psychological warfare that he acts out. He has an incredible ability to control people's minds to his bidding and make them — well confuse the radar of their loyalties and prerogatives, so that was great fun. So it was a great mixture of intense acting scenes and action scenes.

Trek director Abrams also pondered Cumberbatch's villain and what the actor brings to the role:

Quote:

Benedict is an amazing actor. He is someone who brings this incredible intelligence and depth and truth to whatever he does. When I saw Sherlock I thought "here is a guy who is making Sherlock Holmes into a character that I absolutely relate to, love watch, makes me laugh — I really feel for him. It's Sherlock Holmes but someone Benedict Cumberbatch is completely bringing it to life and making it real. We needed someone for this character who is going to ground the character and make him relatable and be frightening and intense and believable. Not because he is raving and insane but because he is rational. And he brought this incredible sense of sophistication and psychological complexity to the role and we were very luck to get him.

Sounds like a can't miss movie.

J.J. Abrams grants a dying fan's wish to see Star Trek 2 early.

Quote:

The last line of the original post read like this:

"My friend is dying. Would like to see the new Star Trek movie. Please help. At the least, upvote to get to front page for someone else to see. Please."

Word spread fast throughout Reddit and beyond, and somehow the story got to Paramount Pictures and Abrams himself. Before long Abrams was calling Dan's wife, and just days after the original posting a special screening of the almost-finished flick was arranged for Dan.

According to his friend, he "loved it."

Sweet story.
