Chris Pine on Benedict Cumberbatch

[katikat]

Chris Pine had some really nice things to say about Benedict Cumberbatch when he was asked about the upcoming Star Trek Into Darkness:

"I’ve been so fortunate, Benedict is an incredible talent. He’s did some work in the new ‘Trek’ that I think will blow people away.

"There’s one scene in it that’s like, you know… in all kinds of heavy science fiction there’s got to be the exposition scene where it’s like, what the hell’s going on? It’s a really, really, really hard scene. Not for me, for Benedict – and watching him handle that and to make something that I think, on paper, could have been a death trap for an actor and to see how he [deals with it]…

"I think, also, I know that he did Frankenstein. I never got a chance to see it, but his sense of body and voice… he has great command of his instrument or whatever the hell you want to call it. He’s formidable as an actor and as a character in the story. He’s formidable. He’s a great actor."

Aww! I really hope this movie's as good as the first one. And I'm so curious as to what character Benedict Cumberbatch is playing.

And talking about Chris Pine, I really hope his upcoming movies will be hits, both The Rise of the Guardians and Jack Ryan. That man really deserves a hit and to stay A-list.

POSSIBLE SPOILER:

Pretty sure the Frabjous Cucumberpatch is playing Kahn, as in The Wrath Of? No?

Nope, that was a rumor debunked by Simon Pegg. Then Karl Urban mentioned that Benedict was playing Gary Mitchell - which Roberto Orci then debunked. I think they are intentionally letting these "spoilers" leak to keep people off their track :P I think he will play Gary Mitchell or maybe Joaquin, Khan's right hand, maybe they will kill Khan off-screen and let Joaquin take revenge? I don't think they would let him play Khan himself, that would bring them so much grief about racism that they wouldn't want to go there.
