Benedict Cumberbatch Reviews, Interviews & More

J.J. Abrams continues to ineffectively cloak his movies with lackluster secrets and an overabundance of lens flares, but he can still create fantastic action sequences that will keep your attention. Star Trek Into Darkness marks the second time we see the S.S. Enterprise and its crew together in action, but in some ways plays as if the lessons of...

Back in the halcyon days of 2009, when the world thought that maybe J.J. Abrams could make a decent Star Trek movie and not just a giant cartoon, rumor had it that the original series villains the Klingons would make an appearance, but they were axed before the film was released (they pop up in a deleted scene, albeit with lumpy metal masks hiding their lumpy...

The endless speculation as to whether or not Benedict Cumberbatch’s “John Harrison” character is really the classic Star Trek villain Khan shows no sign of abating, and this newest viral video on behalf of Star Trek Into Darkness’ PR campaign is not helping matters.  In it, Harrison leaves a cranky message about his personal dislike for Kirk in the...

The marketing team behind J.J. Abrams' second Star Trek movie, Star Trek Into Darkness, has had a busy morning today. Not only did they release eight high-quality photos, but they've also revealed an international poster featuring a fierce-looking Benedict Cumberbatch. He sort of looks like The Governor from The Walking Dead, minus the eye patch and and wearing...

Bradley Cooper is a very busy man. He's set to star in David O. Russell's next project, and has also been cast in Cameron Crowe's upcoming (and still untitled) film. But that's not stopping him from saving Jane Got A Gun. The western project has gone through a lot of changes this past month; Jude Law was the latest to quit the project. But word is Cooper is stepping to save the day....

Remember how the Star Trek Into Darkness trailer released earlier this month featured a bizarre amount of similarities to Lethal Weapon 2 (seriously, it did...)?  Well, now we have the international trailer for the film, and it’s bursting at the seams with new footage—including a whole sequence straight out of Godfather III.  Seriously, this...

The biggest mystery surrounding  Star Trek Into Darkness is the long standing question about who Benedict Cumberbatch is playing. When the first still was released, the name attached to the character was John Harrison, but that didn't seem right. Could he be a new character, or would he be a famous villain from Star Trek's rich history?...

Another day, another series of hints doled out by J.J. Abrams concerning his next science-fiction film that is shrouded in ambiguity.  The film in question is, of course Star Trek Into Darkness, but no, the hints do not deal with whether or not Benedict Cumberbatch is playing Khan or not.

As much as we're anticipating the release of Star Trek Into Darkness, we just want to know one thing. Who is Benedict Cumberbatch really playing? Is he the John Harrison that's been mentioned previously, or is he playing Khan Noonien Singh, he with the wrath and originally played by Ricardo Montalban? Seriously, is knowing the name of the villain a real spoiler, J.J....

Thanks to the fact that every actor in the film is denying it while all of the film’s marketing seems to suggest it, the question of whether or not classic Star Trek big bad Khan is the villain in Star Trek Into Darkness is driving the Trek fan community bonkers.  For every trailer clip that seems to indicate J.J. Abrams is going full Wrath of...

There's no way that Star Trek Into Darkness isn't on your summer movies radar. The latest installment in the long-running science fiction franchise is slowly edging closer towards its release, and because of that we're getting showered with a few new photos. One thing's for sure, we know the end result to one of them. Hint: it involves Red Shirts.

Look, maybe it’s time we give up on the whole “hey, is Khan gonna be in this thing or not?” game with Star Trek Into Darkness, Paramount and J.J. Abrams, because it’s not a fight we’re winning.  Every new trailer or image only serves to confuse the matter further, so maybe we should just be patient and wait until the film’s May 17th release date to see—oh, who am I...

Another day, another chance to discuss whether or not the villain portrayed by Benedict Cumberbatch in Star Trek Into Darkness is Khan, or just some random dude named “John Harrison.”  Fan speculation is rampant, and recent advertising for the film isn’t helping (there’s a brief clip of two hands pressed against glass, referencing the tragic ending...

Here's something that ought to keep the Star Trek high going. Paramount Pictures has released the first official image from J.J. Abrams' Star Trek Into Darkness, which reveals the name of Benedict Cumberbatch's villainous character.

Yesterday we got our first glimpse of the third film in the Hobbit trilogy, which a lot of us found to be a little bit odd. We rather would've received a sneak peek at the second movie, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, than that. Well, our cries of confusion can now be put to rest as the first official image from the second film is now available.

Paramount is continuing the trend of releasing a trailer for the trailer by dropping the first teaser for J.J. Abrams' highly-anticipated movie Star Trek Into Darkness. The clip, which runs a little over a minute, features tons of stunned faces, screams and explosions. Take a look.

The curtain has been lifted and Paramount has revealed their first official poster for their highly anticipated sequel Star Trek: Into Darkness. While there's already been an overwhelming critique of the style of the poster, you have to admit that you're excited to see J.J. Abrams' latest sci-fi flick. At least, we are.

Once again it’s all-change for The Hobbit. With the project now spreading its wings to become a trilogy instead of a pair, you can imagine it’s caused a few repercussions, with various changes to the titles of each instalment. The second film is now to be called The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug.

Curious about the new Star Trek sequel? We know we are.  And lucky us, Chris Pine has recently been raving to TotalFilm about the new movie, and apparently it won’t be adhering to the usual sequel pitch of, quote, "like the original, but darker…"  When the magazine suggested that  it might be a bit on the darker side, Pine was quick to dismiss it: "We're not making...

Sigh, where to begin?  First, the villain for the upcoming Star Trek 2 was original series super villain Khan.  Then, crewmembers quashed the Khan rumor, saying he’s not in the film at all.  And then, the villain was leaked to be Khan once again.  Then,  Karl Urban, who plays Dr. McCoy in both Star Trek and Star Trek...
