In the new film the Enterprise crew will face off with Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch's baddie "John Harrison" who might just be a version of Khan Noonien Singh in the film. Or is it perhaps Gary Mitchell instead? Someone else. All involved are still saying Harrison is the name of Cumby's character. I say hogwash--If that's the truth why the secrecy?...And why tell us early on that the big bad was someone we know from Trek lore? Here's my theory...
You'll recall that I discovered the film's biggest secrets last week---yes I went looking for them--But surprisingly that has not demished my curiousty and dare I say excitement to see how well or not it will play out. I will get my review posted ASAP---Hopng to get it out by Friday AM...We shall see...
Panela McClintock of THR:
The USS Enterprise takes flight once again in North America as J.J. Abrams' sequel Star Trek Into Darkness -- marking the 12th installment in the sci-fi franchise -- begins rolling out in theaters Wednesday night.
Based on pre-release tracking, box office observers believe Star Trek Into Darkness, from Paramount, has a strong shot of crossing $100 million in its four-day debut, by far the best result of any title in the series.
Abrams' 2009 origin pic Star Trek opened to $75.2 million over the May 8-10 weekend. Star Trek Into Darkness returns Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto in the roles of Captain James T. Kirk and Spock, respectively. Other returning castmembers include Zoe Saldana, Anton Yelchin, Simon Pegg, John Cho and Karl Urban.
Bryan Burk produced both films with Abrams, who directed Star Trek Into Darkness from a script by Robert Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof.
This time, a scheming villain played by Benedict Cumberbatch resorts to terrorism to threaten Earth.
Star Trek Into Darkness opened in select foreign markets last weekend, where it outpaced the 2009 film by 70 percent, taking in north of $31 million from seven territories. The space-set franchise has never been as popular overseas, but Paramount is determined to improve its standing.
