Although he was very good at not disclosing any spoilers, Lindelof did give some pretty flattering praises of Benedict Cumberbatch’s performance as the movie’s baddie:
“Benedict Cumberbatch, I can already say with a certain degree of confidence, that he is gonna give an iconic film performance and one of the best sci-fi performances that I’ve ever seen. And not even having seen the movie yet, just sitting there in video village with the headphones on. So I’m really psyched.”
Rumors have been flying about Cumberbatch playing the role of Khan. But Simon Pegg, who plays Scottie on the film, immediately put that rumor to rest. “(Cumberbatch is) not just another disgruntled alien. It’s a really interesting… sort of… thing…Obviously I can’t talk about it.” He continued to say, “It’s not Khan. That’s a myth. Everyone’s saying it is, but it’s not.”
With filming already having been completed last week, ‘Star Trek 2’ is now in the hands of the post-production team who will have almost a year to do their magic as the movie is slated to be released on May 17, 2013.
Hopefully we won’t have to wait for too long before the first trailer is released!
