A few weeks ago, the teaser trailer for Star Trek Into Darkness dropped and IT ROCKED MY WORLD. The teaser was very, very heavy on the Benedict Cumberbatch, almost to the exclusion of the main characters of the Star Trek universe. It almost seemed like… Cumby is THE star of the film and all of the traditional characters are merely his supporting cast? Which would be fine with me, because the only reason I’m going to see STID is because of Cumby (my apologies to Zachary Quinto, John Cho, Chris Pine, et al – I don’t really give a crap about any of you).
Anyway, following the teaser trailer release, Cumby did a ton of “teaser” press – I mean, the movie doesn’t come out until May 2013, there was no need for Benedict to do 20 new interviews. But I guess the interviews were tied to The Hobbit (Cumby is in that) and how the first nine minutes of STID were released ahead of The Hobbit on some IMAX showings. What we ended up finding out is that Cumby is NOT playing Khan, which was heavily theorized. Cumby is playing a “terrorist” named John Harrison.
Well, now the full-length trailer for STID has been released. And it’s kind of… eh…? Like, the teaser was so full-on Cumby with the voiceover and it just seemed to be ALL ABOUT CUMBY, and this trailer makes me think that if I see this movie, I’m going to have to contend with a lot of whining from Chris Pine. Boooooo. Update: I just added a new trailer because the old one wasn’t working!
“Is there anything you would not do… for your family…?” I would send my mother up the river if I had a chance to have his voice on my thighs. For real. Sorry, Mom. Anyway, I like the idea of Cumby in some kind of glass cell (or whatever that was). I shall keep him in my all-glass sex dungeon and that way I can look at his strangely beautiful face whenever I want.

The producers are saying that the villain is bigger in this movie. And The Batch says it is a big role in a big film so yeah, there will be a lot of Cumby kicking that blue-eyed Chris Pine. WHICH IS AWESOME!
Ah, phooey, the clip isn’t playing for me.
But I think I saw it yesterday, Simon Pegg put it on his Twitter.
So excited for STID. And the next Hobbit film. Next year will be the year of Sherlock and Watson.
Why is Chekov in a red shirt!!?? It looks amazing.
That’s what i want to know. Why is Chekov in a red shirt.
I have fallen into inexplicable adoration of Zachary Quinto since the first season of AHS.
I’ve had a thing for him since Heroes season 1. Is it just me or where you totally un surprised when he came out?
SAME HERE! I is also super amazing in s2; sooooo scary!
Yes! From Heroes on I’ve adored that man, those eyebrows!! ((swoon)) And AHS is amazing.
I cannot WAIT for this film. It’s going to be AWESOME. My inner Trekkie is cackling madly.
I’m so excited for this film. the first one was amazing.
Getting a Fassy and cumby post in the same day, CB you really are spoiling us.
LOL! Oh Kaiser, with apologies to your mother you are amazing! I saw the nine minutes before the Hobbit and it looks fantastic! Same great chemistry with the characters, very funny, very exciting. This is my most anticipated summer movie by a huge margin!
I must confess the character I’m terrified for isn’t Chekov, it’s Admiral Pike. It sounds like he is back being all mentor and surrogate fatherly…those type of characters never fare well in this genre. I hope I am wrong! *sob*
‘I would send my mother up the river if I had a chance to have his voice on my thighs. For real. Sorry, Mom.’
Kaiser really crack me up this time 😀
While I do agree that the newer trailer was not Cumber-centric enough, I do love it. Bruce Greenwood’s voice is almost as sexy as Benedict’s.
Re: the headline for this post: “My Life doesn’t have enough Benedict Cumberbatch.” I will also be seeing this movie to gaze at leather-wearing ass-kicking Cumby.
It’s too early to think much about it now, but I am concerned about a Cumby Stampede here on CB when the movie comes out.
Ah, my weekly dose of the Batch. Love it!
…Kaiser, I love your Benedict Cumberbatch posts…”I would send my mother up the river if I had the chance to have his voice on my thighs. For real. Sorry Mom”hahahaha oh man, you made my day with that comment, and those are my feelings exactly; thanks for the love you show for Benedict Cumberbatch…
I love Cumby and I’m a huge Trekkie, but speaking of The Hobbit….Cumby looks as insipid as water next to Richard Armitage (Thorin). MERCY, that man is the hottest piece I have ever seen. They both have super sexy voices though. Go watch North and South, he’s hotter than Colin Firth in Pride and Prejudice.
