Are you fucking kidding me? :D

[kianspo]

I'm... excited. Wary? But still excited. Jesus, seriously? These guys should unite with Simon Pegg so that the British could take over the ship. :DDD

OMG, who's next? Matt Smith? Katie McGrath? Just think about it -- we could have a freaking amazing crossover fest! XDDD
MWUHAHA!

hmmm I'm assuming you are talking about BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH IS GONG TO BE IN THE STAR TREK SEQUEL!!!!!!!!!

or is something else? XD

[kianspo]

Haha, is anyone talking about anything else today? XDDD

[gallicka]

I think it's going to be fantastic! :D

[kianspo]

Well, we'll see, won't we? :D

BC isn't the one who's got me worried about the quality of the sequel, it's JJ as usual. But well, we're stuck with him, aren't we? *sighs*

Still, this gives all the more reasons to watch it! XD

[merkuria]

I am past the squeeing stage but still have a grin on my face. Do want!

And I think BC will make it harder for Pine to shine as brightly as in the first film. I think him a far better actor than Quinto. *hides*

[kianspo]

Well, I still can't wrap my mind around it, mostly because they're like two completely different worlds for me and now they're crossing... dunno to what end. :)

Haha. Well, I haven't seen him in anything but Sherlock (in which he is, admittedly, brilliant), so I'll reserve my judgment for now. ;) I can say this, though. For the kind of Kirk that JJ has painted, Pine is pretty much perfect. Whether or not he can handle more depth remains to be seen -- and I'm saying this as someone who saw Unstoppable, Princess' Diaries, Carriers, Blind Date and the lot.

As for Quinto, don't you just wish they'd shoot a mirrorverse movie one of these days? :D

[merkuria]

Oh I agree that Pine did a fabulous job, but I also think none of the other characters was on quite the same level, i.e. I was not impressed with Quinto's Spock, and I thought rest of the crew pretty generic (which I know is not the popular opinion). So I hope Pine will have someone really good to play against, to flex his acting muscles a bit.

And I've never seen any of those Pine classics. Erm, any good? ;-D

[kianspo]

Really? Because I thought Quinto's acting progressed immensely since Heroes. I actually did like his Spock, and seeing as Spock is my favorite character, that's a lot to ask of me. Hm, how to put it. I didn't like JJ's interpretation of these characters (for the most part), but I liked what the actors did there.

The rest of the cast didn't get any chance to show anything. You don't get to do much acting in a bloody action flick. *makes a face*

Um, in one word? No. :D

[nahara]

Bah! I love Benedict. It makes my heart glad to see him doing so well in the world of acting. I feel rather protective of him, as I remember noticing him from way back, always as a brilliant character actor (never usually the lead) like Starter for Ten, Amazing Grace and Atonement. And then of course there was the stunning Stuart: A Life Backwards. <3 He has always been on my radar. And now look at him!

I think he'd make a great Vulcan, with that bone-structure of his. Definitely not Khaaaaaaaaaaaaan! (I read somewhere that JJ was courting Benicio del Toro for that role). I really curious who he's going to play...

[kianspo]

Actually, he might be Khan, as scary a thought as that is. Del Toro is out, it was announced some time ago, so at this point, I'm afraid anything goes. they did say BC will be playing the villain.

[nahara]

Hahaha, oh man. I'm always so behind the times. Completely oblivious. I think Benedict could be a good bady, but Khan? Not sure... my mind is boggling. I'm keeping the faith, though. Roll on 2013!

[kianspo]

Honestly? I'd rather they left Khan bloody well alone completely. I'm really fed up with recycled plots. But something tells me I shouldn't be overly optimistic...

[ariadnechan]

I love benedict so i'm flailing!! in happiness also Simmon is a fan so that is good?

But i think please don't do Khan!!

a kind of bad Q will be awesome! or another master mind out there.
not klingon. because the make up will ruin that precious neck.

i hope the movie will be better

but we will going to see it for the eye candy anyway and if we can see more K/S and now K/S/BC??

and a lot of fics will come with it

i think will be good if they adapt a tas episode at least will be more new than a tos episode.

[zjofierose]

i... i don't know how i feel about this... :/

[kianspo]

You're not alone.

ETA: Sorry, I meant not the only one. :D I'm still sleeping... >.<
