Star Trek Into Darkness Newsflash

Paramount Pictures announced recently that J.J. Abram's Star Trek Into Darkness is currently underway adding the principal photography touches to the new movie apparently. This little piece of trek news sparked my tricorder into life! Why I hear you ask? Look closely at the characters in this picture. Whose humanoid 'features' strikes you as being preserved for the big occasion on May 17th 2013?

This photo captures a cool stitch in time which is why its so fun looking at them, hehe. Returning to their USS Enterprise post's are John Cho, Bruce Greenwood, Simon Pegg, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, and Anton Yelchin. They are joined by new cast members Benedict Cumberbatch, Alice Eve and Peter Weller. Trekkie instincts tell me Leonard Nimoy is along for trek's sequel with the give away in this photo.

I suppose its probably still a little too early to guess with absolute certainty but.... anyone? what do you think?

Chris Pine, who is currently in New York City filming with Kevin Costner, shared details on Star Trek's Into Darkness sequel. He avoided specifics but gave us a flavour on what direction our Enterprise heroes are going, pitched with an exciting overall tone outlining Star Trek Into Darkness.

 "There’s comedy, which I think J.J. does a great job of, but, like the first one, there’s some serious issues being dealt with. And I’d say the threat is even greater in this one. The force (the Enterprise crew) are met with is much more frightening.

 It’s relentlessly action-packed and in terms of character development it goes places you’d never expect. The ARC is huge FOR ALL THE CHARACTERS. It’s a really big story – I can’t hype it enough!" Thanks Chris, now for the hype! Looking at Alice Eve, one character really springs to mind! "I'm a healthy amount of time in the makeup chair — though not as long as Spock," Eve revealed. "We were filming until very late last night, and I know that's all I can say. It's a top-secret operation, it's like a war." Star Trek Into Darkness has wrapped up tight doing even Top Secret CIA operators proud until its theatrical release on May 17th, 2013.

Can you guess who Alice Eve will be playing?
Guess long and Prosper, Trekinators!

Strangely I've overlooked Janice Rand Warren but isn't it curious Alice Eve has Mr Spock on her mind!

Alex J. Cavanaugh said...

Uhura might be jealous if Alice Eve's character is pining for Spock though!

What photo are you talking about? Viewing this post on my iPad and the only photo here is Koenig's Walk of Fame...

Tony Laplume said...

Perhaps Nimoy's lack of eyebrows?

Definitely spices things up if Uhura's got competion hot on the heels of her Spock, Alex.

Your hot Mock, Its meant to be fun, the clues are here, in this photo.

You must have Eagle Eyes Tony! My trekinator, hehe... you spotted the shades but ask yourself what else can't he alter/change while photography is still currently underway in Los Angeles, California?

Ellie Garratt said...

Aah...Spock. Took a while for me to work that one out. Interesting . . .

SpacerGuy said...

So you got the sneaky vulcan figured Ellie!

Ryan Carpentier said...

I can't believe how tight of a lid they got on this movie. Virtually no news for months. We don't even know the villian- craziness!

SpacerGuy said...

I only hope it doesn't backfire on the Studio. Its precious time and free publicity thats now gone and will never come again.

I think she's going to take over Sally Kellerman's role as Dr. Deyner from the pilot episode that sold the original series to the network.
