The Star Trek franchise has already released several projects for the big and small screen over the years, amassing over $2 billion as per The Numbers. Among them, the 2013, Star Trek Into Darkness gained wide attention, particularly one scene featuring Alice Eve, which garnered quite a controversy at the time.

J.J. Abrams' 2013 film "Star Trek Into Darkness" was a parallel universe retread of Nicholas Meyer's 1982 film "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan." In Abrams' movie, the central villain, Khan Noonien Singh, was played by Benedict Cumberbatch, while in Meyer's film, Khan was played by Ricardo Montalbán. Both films feature the death of Kirk and/or Spock, and both films feature the survivor yelling "Khaaaaan!" The plots of the films differ, however, as Khan remains the central villain of the 1982 film, while he was supplanted by a vengeful Admiral Marcus (Peter Weller) in "Into Darkness."
Both films also feature Dr. Carol Marcus, a paramour of Captain Kirk (Chris Pine in "Into Darkness" and William Shatner in "Wrath of Khan"). In "Star Trek Into Darkness," Dr. Marcus was played by Alice Eve, taking over for Bibi Besch in "Wrath of Khan." Because the characters in "Into Darkness" are...

Before praising the 2024 Oscars and their approach to sex, we need to acknowledge one truth. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences completely ignored one of the best movies of the year, and a movie that features one of the most frank and vulnerable sexual scenes committed to film. It, of course, involves a bathtub, where one man’s desire for another becomes clear in a way that not even he had heretofore acknowledged.
What? No, not Saltburn. I said a good movie, not a loud nothing that approaches sex like a 12-year-old who just learned a few rude words.
I’m referring to the beautiful Andrew Haigh film All of Us Strangers, which received no Oscar attention, not even for its outstanding leads Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal. The scene in question occurs after screenwriter Adam (Scott) returns from his parents’ home, where he just came out to his mother,...

The character of Dr. Carol Marcus (Bibi Besch) was introduced in Nicholas Meyer's 1982 film "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan." Dr. Marcus had invented a revolutionary terraforming technology called the Genesis Wave which could be fired into a planet and rearrange the entire world's ecosystem to make it livable. In "Khan," the technology was still untested, and Dr. Marcus was searching for a life-free planet -- sans even scant microbes -- to terraform. With her was her bitter son David (Merritt Butrick) who expressed quite openly how much he hated the formalism and military underpinnings of Starfleet. He would rather carry out scientific experiments with his mother in peace.
It would eventually be revealed that Dr. Marcus was an old lover of Admiral Kirk (William Shatner) and that David was actually Kirk's long-lost son. "Star Trek II" was at least partially devoted to Kirk reconnecting with Dr. Marcus,...

Here's a fun piece of trivia: when Dr. Carol Marcus (Bibi Besch) proposes the Genesis Device in her proposal video in "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan," is it accompanied by an animated simulation showing a dead moon being magically terraformed within a matter of seconds. The animated simulation, rendered by Industrial Light and Magic, was the first instance of a fully rendered CGI sequence in a feature film. According to the October 1982 issue of American Cinematographer Magazine, the Genesis simulation was originally envisioned as a more traditionally realized sequence wherein a character turns a rock into a flower. Special effects supervisor Jim Veilleux felt that something more impressive was required to capture the scope of the Genesis Device's power, and the CGI sequence was developed instead.

Prequel cameos are always tricky storytelling gambits. When done right, they can thrill fans with a shiver of recognition. When done wrong, it can feel cheap and sentimental, like almost everything with baby Leia in Obi-Wan Kenobi. But against all odds, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has managed to stay on the right side of this balancing act.
Casting delightful actors such as Celia Rose Gooding and Jess Bush has allowed showrunners Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers to explore characters who never really got their due in The Original Series. Ethan Peck and Paul Wesley manage to pay homage to Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner while forging their own takes on Spock and Kirk. Add to that number Montgomery Scott, the beloved engineer who made his Snw debut in the season two finale, “Hegemony.”

Captain Pike has a terrible choice to make. In the final minutes of the finale of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Pike’s plan to rescue the survivors of an attack by the monstrous alien species, the Gorn, is thwarted by his own people. His superior Admiral April orders the immediate withdrawal, fearing that exposure to the increased Gorn onslaught would cost Starfleet its flagship, the USS Enterprise. In the midst of intergalactic chaos, Pike stumbles back, weighed down by this seemingly no-win scenario.
The finale caps off what has been an outstanding season of television for Strange New Worlds, throwing back to classic Star Trek sensibilities and standalone episodes while taking advantage of contemporary production values and storytelling possibilities.

Star Trek has always had a habit of taking unlikely detours into other genres, whether it was Kirk and Spock dressing like gangsters in the Tos episode “A Piece of the Action” or the powerful Deep Spine Nine period piece “Far Beyond the Stars.” But with its most recent episode, Strange New Worlds takes the franchise in the most unexpected direction.
Directed by Dermott Downs, “Subspace Rhapsody” finds the Enterprise crew breaking into song after discovering an anomaly at the edge of the Alpha Quadrant. The episode gives Uhura actor Celia Rose Gooding a chance to show off the pipes that landed them a role in Jagged Little Pill: The Musical on Broadway, and also featured a Klingon hip-hop number that recalls Han Solo’s lowest moment.

There has never been Trek like Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2 Episode 9, and there may never be again, which would be a galactic shame.
Ever since Paramount+ released the news at San Diego Comic-Con 2023 that the penultimate offering of the season would be a musical, the fanbase has been split between the canonical stick-in-the-warp-core gatekeepers and those who embrace all that Trek can be.
Haters can just jettison their vitriol now. This is the biggest swing the series -- nay, the franchise -- has ever taken, and they blast it so far out there they probably broke temporal protocols.
It was always meant to be.
Ever since Una confessed her love of Gilbert & Sullivan to Spock on Star Trek: Short Treks Season 2 Episode 1, treating him to a performance of the "Major-General's Song" from The Pirates of Penzance, we've itched to know what Spock would sing, given the chance.

In the latest episode of "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds," "Subspace Rhapsody," the crew of the Enterprise falls under the influence of a mysterious psychic field that is activated by a broadcast of Cole Porter's "Anything Goes." The crew becomes unable to keep its emotions hidden, and individuals find themselves confessing their more passionate inner lives ... in song. "Subspace Rhapsody" is a full-blown musical.
As established in "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow," Lieutenant LA'an Noonien-Singh (Christina Chong) has developed a powerful romantic attraction for James T. Kirk (Paul Wesley).

In 1979, Paramount’s Star Trek: The Motion Picture hit theaters to a somewhat mixed reception from critics and audiences. Many had predicted that the film would be a big money loser because it had gone dramatically over-budget, making it one of the most expensive films ever made up to the point. In the end, the film eked out a profit. It did well enough that Paramount was willing to take another chance on the franchise. Still, their approach would be pretty different, drastically slashing the budget and hiring fewer A-listers behind the camera. But, to the surprise of all, this proved to be precisely the right move, with the resulting film, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, a smash-hit that relaunched the franchise as a legitimate big-screen property and introduced the adventures of Kirk, Spock and McCoy to a whole new generation.

When we first met Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation, creator Gene Roddenberry and his producers took pains to differentiate him from his 23rd-century predecessor. Where James Tiberius Kirk was all swagger and daring do, squinting dramatically into key lights and romancing ladies with his surely very real and not replicated hair, Picard was bald, patrician, and French.
But even as the show off-loaded Kirk’s galivanting qualities and middle initial to Number One William T. Riker, writers did make clear that neither man would make a good father.

One of the major themes of the season was Picard’s romantic history and his difficulty building and maintaining a romantic relationship with anyone. But despite their history as a possible couple, explored in an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation (“Attached”) in which they confronted their unspoken feelings for each other, not to mention the alternate future in which they were divorced (“All Good Things”), their flirtation while under the influence of an alien illness (“The Naked Now”), and all those cosy breakfasts in Picard’s quarters, not once in all these conversations about Picard’s romantic past was Crusher’s name so much as mentioned.

Having worked together for nearly two decades, the comedy duo of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost have started an entertainment company together. The longtime friends will call their new company Stolen Picture, and have already decided on a first project, a comedy-horror titled Slaughterhouse Rulez.
The film will be set at a topnotch boarding school where status means everything. The protagonist, Don Wallace, is the new kid, learning the nuances of this strange institution while Sixth Formers (older students 16-18) strictly enforce the archaic laws and rituals of the school.
Meanwhile, a nearby fracking operation causes earthquakes and a very ominous sinkhole to appear that releases unimaginable horrors upon the school. With the school’s social hierarchy reset, the students and faculty must find a way to survive.

Not enough people are talking about Star Trek Beyond, one of the rare live-action tentpole studio releases this summer that's really worth seeing. It's a lot of fun and a strong entry into the Trek franchise, worthy of the celebration surrounding the series' 50th anniversary. But while the film introduces one female character in Sofia Boutella's badass Jaylah (named after Jennifer Lawrence), it takes away another female role with Alice Eve's Carol Marcus, who, after appearing in J.J. Abrams' Star Trek Into Darkness, isn't so much as referenced in the new movie. So what gives? Where was the character while the rest of the Enterprise crew was going beyond?

Why wasn't Alice Eve's take on Carol Marcus in Star Trek Beyond? Simon Pegg explains...
You may recall that, in Star Trek Into Darkness, the character of Carol Marcus was introduced in the 'Kelvin' Trek timeline, and played by Alice Eve. A crucial character in Star Trek lore, Marcus was notably missing from the recent Star Trek Beyond, and the film's co-writer, Simon Pegg, has been chatting about why.
Talking on The Official Star Trek Podcast (via i09) Pegg said that the character would have been “underserved” in the scope of the film and even considered killing her off at one point. As he went on to explain though, "we thought, rather than have Carol Marcus be not used to a reasonable capacity, let’s just not include her, have her be alive, in canon, and be ready to come back at any time.”

I may not have realized it while watching Star Trek Beyond, but by the film's end, I noticed a certain someone missing from the Enterprise crew, and that was Carol Marcus, one of the pivotal characters in Star Trek Into Darkness. By that film's end, it seemed like Carol had become one of the gang and was destined to go on more adventures with Captain Kirk and the rest of the crew. However, as is evidenced by Beyond, that wasn't the case.
So what happened to Carol? Did she die some point between films? Did she betray the crew and run off to plan more devious schemes (okay, I didn't really believe that)? Well, apparently nothing too exciting. Talking with Star Trek Podcast, Star Trek Beyond co-writer and actor Simon Pegg addressed why Carol wasn't present in the film.

In the original Star Trek timeline, Carol Marcus and Cpt. James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) enter into a romantic relationship and eventually have a son named David. However, with the films set in the new Kelvin Timeline, all bets are off. Yet it seems the original plan for Beyond was to keep Carol and Kirk paired together before the decision was made to save Marcus for future installments. Said co-screenwriter Simon Pegg, "We thought rather than have Carol Marcus be not used to a reasonable capacity, let’s just not include her, have her be alive, in canon, and be ready to come back at any time." There were originally plans to reference Carol in the script and explain that she had gone off to work on the Genesis project but it was nixed for some reason. “I think we had some lines to explain her absence in one of...

Was Benedict Cumberbatch originally going to play a different villain in Star Trek Into Darkness? Ryan looks at the clues...
Nb: The following contains spoilers for Star Trek Into Darkness.
It was among the worst-kept movie secrets of 2013: the identity of Benedict Cumberbatch's villain in Star Trek Into Darkness. Long before the movie's release, speculation had swirled around the character's anonymous-sounding name: John Harrison. Clearly, fans realised, it was a cover for something far more dramatic.
Wasn't it more likely that Cumberbatch was actually lined up to play a recognisable character from the Star Trek canon? Some suggested Harrison might actually be Charlie Evans, the sinister teenage boy with psychic powers who terrorised the Enterprise in the second ever Original Series episode, Charlie X. Others suggested Cumberbatch might be taking on the role of Khan Noonien Singh, a character first introduced in series one's Space Seed.

2016 marks the 50th anniversary of the Star Trek franchise, so it makes sense that this summer's Star Trek Beyond in some ways feels like a throwback to the original series and has plenty of nods to the franchise's past. Thankfully, it isn't as much of an obvious retread of past material as Star Trek Into Darkness, largely due to the wise decision of director Justin Lin (Fast Five) and co-writers Simon Pegg and Doug Jung to put the Enterprise crew squarely in the middle of their five-year mission to explore strange new worlds. This allows for the sorts of fresh moments, new species, and exploratory feeling many Trek fans felt were lacking in the previous two movies, and while this one definitely has some terrific moments, I still can't help but wish we got a more cerebral version of this story than the one we ended up with.

Entropy. That is the ultimate theme in Star Trek: Generations. As signified by the long tracking shots of a bottle of champagne, culminating with it smashing upon the bow of the new Enterprise. The mechanism by which all change happens. How order turns to chaos, and why all good things must come to an end.
It’s also the only word that can possibly integrate the two disparate halves of the film. The treatise on the afterlife and impermanence, versus Data discovering the meaning of laughter. But really, that’s clutching at straws (and that’s coming from the guy who defended Star Trek V). For all the good ideas and fascinating moments, Generations is the curate’s egg...

Justin Lin sat down for an interview at Paramount Studios to discuss Star Trek Beyond as part of a roundtable for which Collider was present. It’s lengthy, and at times overly-vague (as these things tend to be months before the release of a large tentpole movie), but there are some interesting nuggets divulged by Lin – who is responsible for turning the Fast & Furious franchise into the lucrative behemoth it has become.
Lin made it clear that characters like Khan and Carol Marcus would not be mentioned in the third instalment of the franchise, with the crew of the Enterprise now being about halfway through their five-year mission and well past the events of Star Trek Into Darkness. When asked about leaving the previous entry in the series behind, Lin said:
“I don’t know if we’re leaving it behind, and [we] definitely have spent some time on that.

While the 2009 reboot of the "Star Trek" franchise was well regarded by fans and non-fans alike, its sequel "Star Trek Into Darkness" wasn't so kindly received with fans in particular taking great umbrage with the film's tone and script. To be fair some of that anger is justified, most notably in the way the film essentially invents two things which fundamentally change the "Star Trek" universe.
On the one hand there's transwarp beaming (actually introduced in the 2009 film) which renders space travel pointless as people now have the ability to beam themselves between planets in distant parts of the galaxy. On the other there's Khan and his crew's blood which effectively heals all injuries.
Both were inventions of narrative convenience, in the process though they re-draw the map for anyone to follow and make things a bit difficult. Speaking with Birth Movies Death in the wake of the trailer release,...

Star Trek Beyond‘s teaser trailer is an absolute riot. It’s a fast-paced, action-packed preview of next year’s sci-fi extravaganza that’s absolutely 100% the product of franchise newcomer Justin Lin. Previously at the helm of the Fast & Furious series, Lin’s fingerprints are all over the teaser. Slight touches here and there make nods to his resume highlights: the motorbike scene in particular a massive shout-out to the petrolhead saga. His and J.J. Abrams’ styles are like night and day, and that’s not the only change on the way.
Lin recently revealed a ton of new intel on the upcoming movie to /Film. It’s a fantastic read that we’d recommend checking out in its entirety. However, one comment that roused attention came after the director was asked about the death cure.

Alice Eve stars in new short film Lithgow Saint - inspired by the excruciating encounter between Helen Mirren and Michael Parkinson in the mid-seventies and the prevalent prurient attitude towards women at that time.
The provocative piece - directed by Alice's brother Jack Eve and co-starring Jason Isaacs - sees Alice playing fictional actress Amelia Adams, who calls out Isaacs's lewd talk-show host Lithgow Saint for his sexist questioning.
It's intended to encourage conversations about existing inequalities between men and women, with Alice Eve telling Digital Spy: "I think we've come a long away [since then] - the fact that the conversation is now so alive and so topical is fantastic.
"At the same time we've still got a long way to go - women still on the whole get paid 17% less than men and that's across the board, nurses included, which is kind of mind-boggling. And there are lots of areas...

Across film and TV, there have been many Star Trek projects that never got the greenlight. Such as these...
Since 1964 (yep) there have been Star Trek projects that simply didn't make it to the big or small screen. And before Star Trek's second (proper) coming in 1979's Star Trek: The Motion Picture, the franchise had more than its fair share of attempts to come to life, and then be reborn.
This lot in fact...
Star Trek – The (original) Original Series
Here's a thought – the original Star Trek series wasn't supposed to be the original Star Trek series.
The pilot that sold the show to NBC was in fact the second pilot, after the original, entitled The Cage, filmed at the end of 1964, was deemed too cerebral. That's on top of having other multiple issues that TV executives (and test audiences) of the time couldn't cope with – you know, like gender equality in the workplace.

Though 2015 has seen the arrival of one of cinema’s all-time best female characters in Mad Max: Fury Road’s Furiosa (Charlize Theron), it’s apparent that Hollywood still has something of a woman problem.
Even when a movie presents a strong or interesting female, there’s a good chance she’s going to end up ridiculously sexualised compared to any male counterpart (just look at Black Widow in the Avengers and Iron Man movies), and a film passing the Bechdel test (in which two women have a conversation which isn’t about a man) is never guaranteed.
From movies that deliberately poked at society’s gender hang-ups to misguided sex scenes, awful messages for young girls and everything in between, these 12 scenes only further the belief by many feminists that Hollywood hates women and won’t just treat them like what they really are: human beings.

After menacing Taron Egerton and Colin Firth with her deadly blade legs in February’s smashing spy caper Kingsman: The Secret Service, Sofia Boutella has landed a lead role in Star Trek 3.
No word yet on whether she’ll be on the side of the USS Enterprise or taking on a villainous role, but from the sounds of it, her involvement is a done deal.
Justin Lin (Furious 6) is directing from a script by Doug Jung (TNT’s Dark Blue) and co-star Simon Pegg. The threequel is a pivotal entry for Paramount and Skydance’s blockbuster franchise, which is currently revamping to be more faithful to the classic sci-fi series it was adapted from and is also the first new Trek film not to be helmed by J.J. Abrams.

Josh Duhamel and Alice Eve have joined Anthony Hopkins and Al Pacino in legal thriller Beyond Deceit, to be directed by scribe Shintaro Shimosawa (Fox’s The Following) in his directorial debut.
Malin Akerman, Byung-hun Lee, Glen Powell and Leah McKendrick will co-star in the pic, which centers on an ambitious young lawyer (Duhamel, replacing Dan Stevens after the latter actor dropped out over conflicts with Beauty and the Beast) who takes on a major case against the ruthless executive of a pharmaceutical giant, only to find himself framed for murder.
Eve will take on the supporting role of his wife, but it’s unclear whether Hopkins or Pacino will be playing the chief antagonist. Adam Mason and Simon Boyes (red-hot SXSW selection Hangman) penned the script, which Shimosawa then rewrote.
Beyond Deceit is just one more screen credit for Duhamel and Eve, who are each racking up tons right now.

The scene in Star Trek Into Darkness where Alice Eve stripped to her underwear just because wasn’t the most forward-looking element of the film. No matter what goodwill a character like Uhura might have earned the original series, there’s no excusing that kind of shoddiness in how a film portrays its female characters, and especially not in 2013.
Hopefully, though, next year’s Star Trek Whatever They Call It will redress the balance somewhat. Film Divider have learned that three of the new characters, and crucial ones at that, will be women.
First of all, there’s Bones’ ex-wife. He’s had a couple of different ex-wives, depending on which part of canon you’re snooping around, and it’s entirely possible that Simon Pegg and Doug Jung’s new screenplay will invent another one altogether.

Among the many responses to our article on the 20 Most Cringeworthy Star Trek Film Moments, one of the most common was “What about the J.J. Abrams movies? What about all the scenes that embarrass us when we show those movies to non-fan friends?” (Actually, the most common responses were about our lack of a sense of humour and our questionable parentage, making us wonder whether those people knew the article was meant to be for fun).
There are two very good reasons why the first list did not include the alternate universe movies: 1) the Classic Trek and Next Gen movies easily filled up our twenty slots; and 2) the New Trek movies warrant a list all on their own – and that’s with only two of them. As was the case with the first list, your mileage may vary – what makes one person cringe will make another fall to the floor with laughter.

Science fiction literature/entertainment is rife with all sorts of controversy or moral dilemmas; Star Trek is not immune to this type of plot generation. Only its longevity has spawned dozens of all sorts of moral choices that have made its thousands of loyal fans constantly debate about what the right choice should have been.
The re-booted Star Trek franchise is bound to resurrect some of these scenarios, or if it doesn’t, then it should and the question that begs to be asked is: which ones are they going to dig up?
With the script for Star Trek 3 currently being written for a probable release in 2016, the writers would be wise to tackle these moral dilemmas once again…

She will next be seen in the indie thriller Cold Comes the Night, as a struggling motel owner and single mom who is taken hostage

James T. Kirk and Carol Marcus clearly have chemistry in "Star Trek Into Darkness," but does that mean that the two are fated to be together? Alice Eve, who plays Carol Marcus in this sequel to 2009's "Star Trek" seems to think that there is some fate involved, but with the new timeline maybe the two don't have to have the same relationship that was revealed in "Wrath of Khan." As she summed it up, it's a five mission and "there are infinite possibilities." Perhaps though the more interesting question is not where exactly Eve thinks things will head with "Star...

2012 was a great year for summer blockbusters, but it was an even better year for strong female characters. The highest grossing movie of the year, Avengers: Assemble, was on the surface a male orientated movie. It was a female character, however, that stole the show. Scarlett Johansson’s Natasha Romanov underwent the biggest journey, and enjoyed the greatest character development.
The Dark Knight Rises had two strong female characters, in Selina Kyle and Talia Al Ghul. The Hunger Games, however, was the biggest breakthrough for feminism. The third highest grossing movie of the year, it was led by Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen. Without doubt the heroine of the film, Katniss was shown to be resourceful, tough and superior to the men around her. Add to this the female led Brave, Prometheus and Snow White and the Huntsman, and you can see that 2012 was a great year.

Without doubt the heroine of the film, Katniss was shown to be resourceful, tough and superior to the men around her. Add to this the female led Brave, Prometheus and Snow White and the Huntsman, and you can see that 2012 was a great year.

"Star Trek Into Darkness" director J.J. Abrams was a guest on Conan O'Brien's late night show on Wednesday night, and used that opportunity to discuss a growing controversy about the latest "Trek" adventure.
Despite mostly positive reviews and solid box-office returns, many have derided "Star Trek Into Darkness" because of a scene where actress Alice Eve is shown in her underwear. The shot, which is fleeting, was used extensively in the marketing campaign.
"Eve's character of Dr. Carol Marcus was touted to have incredible intelligence, though instead of allowing her to use it to effect the plot, she was used as the most blatant eye-candy I've seen in a long time," Jill Pantozzi wrote on The Mary Sue.
During his appearance on "Conan," Abrams addressed the issue. Sort of. The director showed a so-called "Star Trek Into Darkness" deleted scene, featuring the film's villain, played by Benedict Cumberbatch, in the shower.

A couple of days ago writer Damon Lindelof apologized for the Carol Marcus underwear scene in Star Trek Into Darkness and while both sides of the argument have valid points on if it was sexist or not, for the most part a lot of you just didn't think it was that big of a deal. One person who has always expressed his love for beautiful women (even if at times he's incredibly creepy about it) is Conan O'Brien and last night he J.J. Abrams on his show. The director...

A deleted scene from Star Trek Into Darkness has been released.
Posted online by Team Coco, the clip shows Cumberbatch's villain John Harrison brooding as he takes a shower onboard the Enterprise.
The clip was revealed by director Jj Abrams in his appearance on Conan, during which he was questioned about the controversy surrounding Alice Eve's underwear scene.
"I don't think I quite edited the scene in the right way," Abrams admitted of the apparently superfluous sequence, which sees Eve's character Carol Marcus strip down to her underwear in front of Captain Kirk (Chris Pine).
Cumberbatch has revealed that he ate 4,000 calories a day in order to put on muscle for the role of Harrison.
