Star Trek Into Darkness Writers Reveal How Benedict Cumberbatch Inspired Title Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman talk Into Darkness Star Trek Into Darkness’ title was inspired by the nature of Benedict Cumberbatch’s character in the new movie, according to its writers. Cumberbatch plays John Harrison in the movie, a former Starfleet employee who turns against the organisation and creates havoc across the universe which the likes of Captain Kirk (Chris Pine) and Zachary Quinto have to put a stop to. “He understands Starfleet because he was enlisted in a similar way,” Roberto Orci told Star Trek Magazine. “Some might see part of the title coming from the fact that he’s kind of a dark shadow of members of our crew.” “He too has gone through the process… that some of our crew have gone though, and clearly for some reason it’s failed to bring him over, so I think he represents that part of our heroes,” the writer revealed. Fellow scribe Alex Kurtzman added: “Despite the fact that we are literally going Into Darkness, I think we all worked very hard to make sure the theme of hope, what hope costs, and what it’s really about, was always alive in how we were designing our story.” “So we’re pretty consistent with the last movie in terms of dark things happening, but holding on to the light that Roddenberry (Gene, the TV show’s creator) set up as a basic tenet of the Star Trek universe,” he added. Star Trek Into Darkness, starring Pine, Quinto, Cumberbatch, Simon Pegg, Zoe Saldanha, Karl Urban and John Cho, is released in the UK on May 9. (x)

Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch films in Bristol. THE stars of hit TV show Sherlock braved the cold to film scenes for the much-anticipated new series. Portland Square was the backdrop last night as Benedict Cumberbatch, in the title role, was filmed in front of what appeared to be a large bonfire for the third installment of the crime drama, which is a modern update of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes detective stories. The show, which has now been sold in more than 180 countries, was first aired in three 90-minute episodes by the BBC in 2010. It also stars Martin Freeman as Doctor John Watson. The series is produced by Hartswood Films for BBC Wales and is primarily filmed in Cardiff but Portland Square was chosen for a particular scene. The BBC was tight-lipped last night about what the scenes filmed in Bristol would entail, to avoid any “spoilers” for fans. Production of the third series was originally due to begin in January, but due to “availability reasons” it was pushed back to this month and started last week.
