Yesterday the news came out that the third season of BBC’s Sherlock is about to go into production, with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman reprising their lead roles as modern day versions of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson.
There was some question as to whether the third season might be the show’s last. Scheduling the long shoot is difficult, as each of the three episodes per season is basically structured like a mini-movie, and Cumberbatch and Freeman are increasingly busy with movie careers.
But now Cumberbatch has confirmed that a fourth season is planned. Read More »

BBC’s Sherlock is technically, a TV show. But with episodes that are the length of a film, and two stars, Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, who have become major movie actors, the show might as well be a movie. The point being: it takes an unusual bit of scheduling to create.
The second season aired over a year ago in the UK and 10 months ago in the US, climaxing in a major cliffhanger. Since then, thanks in large part to Netflix, more and more people are finding out about this fascinating and entertaining show, and all are anxiously waiting new episodes.
The wait has been long, and will continue to be long, but there’s hope on the horizon. The stars are back and the third season will begin filming next week. Read more below. Read More »
The latest trailer for J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek Into Darkness isn’t exactly long, but she’s got it where it counts, kid. Running just over a minute long, the trailer features a fair amount of new footage with a strong focus on action. It also shows more of the rebellious nature of newly minted Captain Kirk (Chris Pine) as he and the crew of the Enterprise go off on yet another adventure.
Benedict Cumberbatch‘s John Harrison makes a menacing appearance, Simon Pegg‘s Scott gets a gag. Basically 70 seconds sell this highly-anticipated movie incredibly well. Check it out below. Read More »

One thing’s for sure about Benedict Cumberbatch‘s “John Harrison”: He definitely has the evil villain voice down. No wonder Paramount is using his “you think your world is safe…” line for everything from TV promos to motion posters. Also after the jump:
- Jessica Alba didn’t think a Sin City sequel would happen
- Director David Twohy is pleased about Riddick‘s R rating
- Guillermo del Toro is already working on Pacific Rim 2
- Rupert Wyatt reveals the real (if vague) reason he left Apes

The promotion for J.J. Abrams‘ new film Star Trek Into Darkness is really starting to ramp up, but there are still a few big questions that remain unanswered about the film. One is the precise nature of John Harrison, the villain played by Benedict Cumberbatch. Is Harrison really Khan, or is he some new character? (Or a revised version of an old character?) The interior of the magazine called the Khan reports only a rumor, and captions within also used the Harrison name.
The other question — one that even in a normal film cycle wouldn’t be answered until after Trek 2 opens — is whether Abrams will return to make a third new Trek film. Given his new duties with Star Wars, how can he possibly have time to close out a Trek trilogy?
On the red carpet at this weekend’s BAFTA ceremony, Trek actors Alice Eve and Simon Pegg were asked about their upcoming film, and each offered an answer, of sorts, to these two questions. Whether either one can be taken as definitive, or even relatively accurate, is open to question, however. Read More »
Remember when the little Star Trek sequel releasing this year was the big thing from J.J. Abrams? That changed last month with the announcement that the director would next tackle Star Wars, and yesterday’s announcement of a partnership with Valve was the icing on the cake.
But there’s still Star Trek Into Darkness to come before we see the fruit of Abrams’ new deals, and the second Trek movie from Abrams still looks like it could be one of the year’s more entertaining tentpoles. A few new images have cropped up today, and while none features any big reveal, there are a couple good shots. Those poor redshirts escorting Benedict Cumberbatch can’t be in for a good fate. Usually we’d worry most about the redshirts on an away mission, but it’s probably reasonable to expect that Cumberbatch’s character John Harrison is one of those guys who is just as dangerous when captured as he is running free.
