Benedict Cumberbatch is definitely not Khan in 'Star Trek Into Darkness': Alice Eve (EXAMINER)

STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS FEBRUARY 11, 2013BY: MICHAEL SANTO

Despite rumors to the contrary, Benedict Cumberbatch's new "Star Trek" villain will not be Khan. That was made quite clear by "Star Trek Into Darkness" actress Alice Eve, as she walked the red carpet for the BAFTAs on Sunday (video embedded).

Succinctly, she said "He's not playing Khan."

Rumors have flown about the identity of Cumberbatch's new villain. There has been little clarity to this point. At the time of this writing, IMDB still lists his character as "Khan (rumored)."

Although it's been revealed that Cumberbatch would be playing John Harrison, it has thought that the name might be a cover. Still, earlier, Simon Pegg (Scotty) said the villain would not be Khan.

Film Review: John Carter 3D (Coventry Telegraph)

(12A, 132 mins) Action/Sci-Fi/Romance. Taylor Kitsch, Lynn Collins, Mark Strong, Dominic West, Ciaran Hinds, James Purefoy, Daryl Sabara, Willem Dafoe, Samantha Morton, Thomas Haden Church, Polly Walker. Director Andrew Stanton.

INTENDED as the first instalment of an action-packed trilogy, John Carter is a fantastical and fantastically dull battle beyond the stars based on the novel A Princess Of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs.

Oscar-winning director Andrew Stanton, who collected golden statuettes for Finding Nemo and WALL-E, makes a lacklustre live action debut with this sprawling epic.

The miasma of digital effects, which hopes to emulate Avatar by immersing us in an eye-popping alien world, feel flat in 3D and the quality of the computer trickery doesn't match the ambition of Stanton's own script, co-written by Mark Andrews and Michael Chabon.
