by Rebecca Pahle | 12:43 pm, March 13th, 2013

In his own words, here’s why maintaining the Cumbervillain’s Cumbersecrecy is so important:

by Susana Polo | 11:42 am, March 7th, 2013

In which Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto lock Benedict Cumberbatch in a cage to prevent him from making sure that the UK gets Star Trek Into Darkness before America does.

“Mwaha,” he responds, “You forgot Alice Eve and Simon Pegg are also British. STID premiered in the UK half an hour ago.”

Thank you, thank you, I’ll be here all week.

2013 San Diego Comic-Con Sells Out in 96 Minutes, But Not Without Some Technical Glitches Along the Way

by Rebecca Pahle | 12:55 pm, February 17th, 2013

It was never a question that badges for this year’s San Diego Comic-Con would sell out. The unknown factor was exactly how long it would take. Not long, as it happens: Tickets went on sale this morning at 9AM PST, and by 10:36 they were all gone.

Benedict Cumberbatch Is Just as Frustrated by the Mystery Surrounding His Star Trek Character As You Are

by Rebecca Pahle | 2:25 pm, January 7th, 2013

“It’s achingly irritating… Believe me, I’d rather talk about the role and the fantastic story and all the things J.J. [Abrams] has come up with. And then everyone would be as excited about the film as I am. But then of course I think I would be on a phone call coming from J.J.’s office.” — Benedict Cumberbatch speaks out on how he wishes he were able to talk about who he’s playing in Star Trek Into Darkness already.

He went on to praise Abrams’ withholding of information, however, saying “We live in the modern world, which is a place of oversaturation and now people, especially Trekkies, want to know everything before they witness it themselves… I think of it as a kid having a box of chocolates and not knowing what’s good for them. They eat three and they keep eating as they get sick… and the candy is gone.”

That’s… a little condescending-sounding, Mr. Cumberbatch.

Hit the jump to find out and maybe there will even be talk of Klingons!

New Star Trek Into Darkness Photo Names Benedict Cumberbatch’s Character

by Susana Polo | 4:35 pm, December 10th, 2012

Those watching Star Trek Into Darkness closely for any information have focused intently on the identity of Benedict Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch‘s character. It’s clear he is the villain, but precisely who he is has wavered back and forth, from the infamous Khan of the first second Star Trek movie (okay, that only hurt a little to type), to Gary Mitchell, a telepath and antagonist of TOS episode “Where No Man Has Gone Before.” Gary Mitchell seemed like a safe bet after Karl Urban accidentally called Cumberbatch’s character ‘Gary,’ though producer and writer Roberto Orci later denied that Cumberbatch is Mitchell, while confirming that he is a previously established Star Trek character.

After certain scenes in the Japanese teaser trailer released last week, however, evidence seemed to point to Khan. Now, Paramount has released a press photo labeling Cumberbatch and his character name, and it’s not one that anybody recognizes.

I Don’t Need an Excuse to Watch Star Trek Movies, but This Ad Still Makes A Compelling Point

Listen, IFC, you’re a television channel, so I prefer to think of you as monolithic consumerist entity without compassion or a sense of humor. This is making that difficult.
