...are you joking Barnes?

I'm sure he is, I can't imagine the real Barnes talking like that.

I'm actually a bit insulted by the question.

Well you do a REALLY good Doc impression

Then why wouldn't you think he was joking?

Um...midichlorians? I really don't know, just ignore me

First pictures.

Not posting because the villain is still technically a secret, but there seems to be little to the imagination after looking at these photos unless they do end up going with someone totally original.

THE BATCH IS ON THE SET!!!

THE BATCH IS ON THE SET!!!

My prediction for who he is:
In the original series episode, Khan's tube malfunctions when they awaken him and he almost dies.  In this universe, he will, and 'Batch will play one of the other augments.  It's their way of being "creative" without actually being creative.

That seems to jibe with the prevailing buzz, too.

Um....why no pictures of Chris Pine without a shirt? Way to create buzz Star Trek people. Like anyone will bother to see the movie unless Pine is shirtless. Guffaw

Lot of people thinking it might not be Kahn, but Gary Mitchell.

[Sideswipe]

Why would Gary Mitchell be older than Kirk now?

No biggie, but here's the fight video from the set:

WARNING: You might want to mute the sound. The mincing voice over guy made me wanna stab somebody in the throat.

UPDATE!! Nimoy In 'Another' STAR TREK Movie??

At one point in its coverage, the CNN posse on the ground in NYC rounded up Leonard Nimoy for a quick discussion about the vehicle's arrival.  Throughout the piece, the CNN gang could barely control their Geekitude.  In their final moments of discussion with Mr. Nimoy...unable to restrain themselves any longer...they went there...trumpeting the "new" STAR TREK movie (presumably referring to J.J. Abrams' 2009 picture), and asking if we'd see him "in another STAR TREK movie?"

Without missing a beat, Nimoy replied with the briefest "Umm..." and in no uncertain terms said "We're talking.  We're talking." 

go for it Leonard!

Is that Dane Cook as a young Kahn?

I'm confused.  What is the current prevailing opinion of the 2009 Star Trek movie?  I remember back then that there was some apprehension that it would suck in the months leading up to it.  Then it came out and everyone loved it.  Has it cycled back to the "it's a remake of something classic so it has to suck" status yet?

Well most of the reviews have been positive and pretty much everyone I talked to fans and non fans alike liked it.  I even enjoyed it and if you remember I was expecting it to suck.  As far as I can tell most people were all set to hate it but then when they saw that it wasn't undoing the past of Trek and that it was the first piece of Star Trek in about a decade to have a sense of fun and adventure about it they were won other.  I think most people have accepted the fact that the prime universe had become to bloated with back story to make a movie take place in that the average person would enjoy.  I mean I don't know how someone who hadn't watched each and every episode of every Star Trek series would make sense of what was going on in the next gen movies.  I mean they name drop things left and right with out really explaining them and they had to jump through so many hoops to get Worf on board for the last three movies.  I think finding some way to ditch all that backstory was really the only was to go.

I am looking forward to the next movie and I hope Nimoy is in it.
