Star Trek Into Darkness

Star Trek Into Darkness

IS THAT the Enterprise rising from the sea? And later, the Enterprise plunging into the sea? And all this while the panicked citizens of Earth run about, terrified and screaming as some Sherlock-sounding fella proclaims he has come back for vengeance.

We see Captain Kirk grinning at a pretty blonde who could be the new Trek universe's version of anyone from Yeoman Janice Rand to scientist Carol Marcus. We get assorted bits of action and tantalising glimpses of 23rd-century mayhem to send fans, starved for new Star Trek stuff since 2009, into geek ecstasy.

The long-awaited announcement teaser for Star Trek Into Darkness was released last week in numerous subtitled versions, mostly the same except for one.

The Japanese-subtitled version sent fans into an even greater speculative frenzy as it ended with a scene of two hands pressed on either side of a glass partition – one of them raised in the Vulcan greeting so familiar to Star Trek fans.

Gasp. Could this be ... a remake of that classic scene from The Wrath Of Khan where a certain half-human, half-Vulcan crew member gave his life to save the ship?

Some of us suspect a bit of naughtiness here on the part of director JJ Abrams; if this herring were any redder, it would be a tomato. Certainly not a rotten one but a ripe and juicy treat.

(Our bet is that the hands belong to Spock and the whoever-Benedict-Cumberbatch-is-playing guy.)

Oh, and in other news, trailers for sci-fi epics Oblivion (with Tom Cruise) and After Earth (with Will Smith) arrived online in the days after STID. Did you notice?

Man Of Steel

STOP PRESS! A full trailer for what is probably 2013's biggest summer movie, Man Of Steel, went online this Tuesday and immediately made waves.

Of course, much of the buzz surrounded our first real look at Henry Cavill in his external-underwear-free Superman duds, his flight around the Earth, and glimpses of some spectacular action sequences. Oh, and we get to see him hold hands with Lois Lane.

But a significant amount of controversy has arisen over one word uttered by Supes' adopted father Jonathan Kent (Kevin Costner). A young Clark Kent has just saved a busload of children from drowning and one child saw him do it. Jonathan is not happy that his instruction to Clark to keep his powers hidden was not followed.

"What was I supposed to do – just let them die?" he asks Jonathan, who seemingly responds with a thoughtful "Maybe." That's cold, Lieutenant Dunbar.

Then again, trailers can be very deceptive and that icy "maybe" could have been edited in from an entirely different part of their conversation.

Still, if you had a special child like Clark, to what lengths would you go to keep him shielded from the cold, cruel world? And indeed, the trailer asks if the world is ready for a being like Superman, if it wouldn't just reject him.

Are we ready? Oh heck yeah, we're pretty stoked for this one, especially because there doesn't seem to be a Lex Luthor land scam anywhere in the plot.

Hugh Jackman gets Hollywood Walk of Fame star

Posted: 13 Dec 2012 05:56 PM PST

LOS ANGELES: Australian actor Hugh Jackman got a Hollywood double whammy Thursday as he was nominated for a Golden Globe and got his star on Tinseltown's famous Walk of Fame on the same day.

Jackman, who is being tipped for possible Oscar glory for his role in upcoming musical adaptation "Les Miserables," said he couldn't believe the good fortune that his career has given him.

"This is quite a ride .. It's a surreal experience. I'm a kid from the suburb of Barunga, on the northern side of Sydney ... This is completely surreal," he said as he unveiled his sidewalk star.

"Apart from Lassie, I'm the only one to get to play the same character in 15 movies," he quipped, flanked by Les Mis co-star Anne Hathaway, director Tom Hooper, DreamWorks boss Jeffrey Katzenberg and Tonight Show host Jay Leno.

Leno, due to interview him later, told Jackman: "I don't believe wealth and fame change anybody, it exaggerates who you already are. And I think all your wealth and success and fame have just made you a better person."

"You have a wonderful family, you're a wonderful role model .. besides the obvious talent, is the fact that you are a regular person."

Jackman thanked his fans, about 200 of whom turned out to see him get his Walk of Fame star on the sidewalk outside Madame Tussaud's next to Grauman's Chinese Theatre in the tourist center of Tinseltown.

"I have the greatest fans in the world. I don't take it lightly and or take it for granted and thank you so much for all you do. (...) The Boy from Oz was a hit because of the fans.

His wife Deborra-Lee Furness and adopted children Oscar, 12, and Ava, 7, were also there.

"None of this would have been possible, and certainly none of this would have been rewarding to me, if not for my family," said Jackman, nominated for best actor in a musical or comedy at the Golden Globes earlier in the day.

"And kids, you maybe don't understand it now, but you're gonna save a fortune in therapy by just coming here and spitting on it, jumping on it ... you can come and take it out here," he said of his star.

"Sorry, city of Los Angeles," he added.- AFP
