Star Trek 2 Reviews, Interviews & More
For several months now, we’ve been referring to the untitled Star Trek reboot sequel as Star Trek 2, as not official title for the film has existed. That changed, though, with the 46th anniversary of the Star Trek franchise this weekend, in which the new official title was announced. And guess what? It’s horrible.
The excitement is already building for Star Trek 2, despite the fact it might not be boldly making its way back into cinemas for the best part of another year; now Zachary Quinto been bragging that the filmmaking team is “bigging it up” in a recent interview. His comments come on the heels of star Chris Pine, who was also recently bragging about how the film is bigger and better...
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...
Ok, Star Trek 2, this “who is the film’s villain?” thing is getting old. First it was it Khan, then it wasn’t Khan, then it was Khan again. Sure, we could wait until 2013 to find out, like mature human beings, but that simply isn’t what the internet was made for. Which is why a recent interview with Star Trek 2’s Karl Urban (he plays Dr. McCoy) is raising...
One of the more fervent movie geek debates throughout 2012 has been this—will Chris Pine be screaming “KHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAANNNN!!!!!” in Star Trek 2, the sequel to 2009’s Star Trek reboot? At one point, it was all but confirmed that Khan would be the villain, and then Simon Pegg later denied it. Then, director J.J. Abrams dropped a preview of the...
IMAX is the way of the future for blockbuster movies. There's no way that The Avengers could have made $200 Million in its opening weekend without it (or 3D). As such, today both Star Trek 2 and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire announced new IMAX developments.
It’s been a bustling month in the world Star Trek sequel news—from Khan being all but officially confirmed as the Star Trek 2 villain, to costar Simon Pegg stating Khan wasn’t in the picture, to a blink or you’ll miss it preview of the Klingons in the upcoming film. Now, even more details have emerged, with co-writer Damon Lindelof and star Chris Pine taking turns...
Well, sort of. At Sunday night’s MTV Movie Awards, there was a small skit about the preponderance of archery in the film’s of 2012. In it, we saw a brief talking head segment from J.J. Abrams, and in the background, well, let’s just say there was a distinctively lumpy-headed person from Star Trek 2 in the background.
When Star Trek 2 was casting its villain, it was unknown who the big baddie would be. Sure, there are the Klingons, the Romulans and more to play with. But as for human villains, the only name that means anything to mainstream audiences is Khan Noonien Singh, villain of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. However, Simon Pegg says that Benedict...
One of the more hotly debated elements concerning the upcoming sequel to J.J. Abrams' Star Trek reboot was who, exactly, was the villain? After Eric Bana's not so memorable turn as a pointy-eared tattoo enthusiast hellbent on traveling through time to destroy the home planet of a guy who just couldn’t save Bana’s civilization in time (so, what, revenge for someone’s...
Though we still have no idea what the film is about and who Benedict Cumberbatch is playing, the first photos from Star Trek 2 have arrived (from MTV), and they show that Cumberbatch must be some kind of villain. He seems to be in conflict with Zachary Quinto's Spock, but maybe Spock is just trying to restrain him because he's super upset about getting a parking...
It's amazing how fast rumors become truth, but as of now this is what's known: Benedict Cumberbatch has joined the cast of Star Trek 2. What isn't know is the role he's playing, though it's quickly gone from rumor to confirmation that he's the villain of the piece. To be fair, most bigger casting decisions on a film like this are going to be for the new antagonists,...
This week has offered a flurry of news on J.J. Abrams's Star Trek reboot sequel - tentatively titled Star Trek 2 - which is scheduled for release May 17, 2013. Though we've yet to see a replacement for the main villain since Benecio Del Toro dropped out on Monday, there are more things to relay about the cast and the villain.
While the world continues to debate whether or not Benicio Del Toro will be appearing as Star Trek super villain Khan in the upcoming Trek reboot sequel, Peter Weller (that’s the original RoboCop to you), has quietly joined the cast of the hyper-anticipated sequel.
Get ready to start yelling “KKKHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNN!” all over again, Star Trek fans—looks like Benicio Del Toro is the only guy in the running to play the villain in the upcoming sequel to the Star Trek reboot… and fans are already speculating he’ll play Khan, the villain from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan....
In what may have been inevitable, J.J. Abrams has finally signed on to direct Star Trek 2. Though Paramount was hot for the sequel after the first film's impressive domestic showing, Abrams went on to direct Super 8, and Hollywood considered turning Chris Pine into a movie star (there were a number of rumors about what he would do next, but...
Star Trek nerds, prepare to celebrate—Star Trek and Star Trek 2 (the reboot versions) writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman plan on taking fan input on the Star Trek 2 script, which is currently in development. Which means my fanfic piece about the movie blogger who manages to seduce Uhura away...
While James Bond fans scored a big one today, fans of the Jack Ryan film franchise (The Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger, and The Sum of All Fears) will have to keep holding their collective breaths—Paramount is putting the...

The response he gave was of epic, four star, critically acclaimed proportions...
