Saldana laughed, then concluded, "It was a trip." "I wrote to them after I read the script, because there are bits in there that I really got," Pegg reasoned, "I could see what they were doing, and there were really smart little touches that I wanted them to know that I'd got [....] It's a hell of a task they've got on their hands. Although Ambassador Spock has not wanted to alter his younger self's destiny, he makes an exception in this case. We've established a brand new sort of timeline, we could do anything we want, let's just do something brand new." (Star Trek Magazine issue 172, pp. [61], Following press screenings of the film's first thirty-eight minutes in Brazil, it was confirmed – on 7 March 2013 – that Peter Weller would appear in the film as Admiral Marcus.

Knowing he's going to die, Kirk tells Spock he's scared, and asks him how he is able to not feel. "Are you giving me attitude, Spock?" Concerning the cast members who portrayed those protagonists, Saldana noted, "For this experience with Star Trek, we were very fortunate [....] We're so excited to be there, and we shared that mood with each other." Though Cumberbatch accepted, he was yet to see a full script of the movie. [58] When interviewed himself, Cumberbatch continued the secrecy by merely pointing to a promotional image and stating he played "that person there." "He'd let you die. "I was just really excited about telling that story [....] You can almost feel sorry for Sulu and all of the characters because they have to mature so quickly.

[73] Other filming locations included Dodger Stadium, Long Beach City Hall, MCAS Tustin, and Vasquez Rocks Natural Area Park [74] as well as Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove, California.

Kirk places Admiral Marcus under arrest, and orders him out of the chair, not wanting to take him by force in front of his daughter. Realizing the effects of the genetically enhanced blood, he orders one of Khan's people removed from its cryo tube, reanimated, and held in a medically induced coma. 83 & 115), A blueprint for the Enterprise sets in this film, Following the release of Super 8, it was announced, in September 2011, that J.J. Abrams would direct this film. Please, sir. Of course, speaking, if you’ll pardon me, logically, I wouldn’t know if I was in the movie until I saw the movie." Produced by "Although this stuff was in the original scene," stated Maryann Brandon, "they were more implied and referred to than just boldly stated [in the way they ended up being] [....] But I think it was really important, because it's where, again, [...] we're really making clear what the themes are of the film, this idea of personal goals versus universal goals, and universal principles versus taking things into your own hands and deciding that your principles are the ones that are important." [89], As the filming got under way, some results of the decision to shoot much of the film in IMAX proved clear to the filmmakers, giving them some mind-boggling logistical challenges. Harrison is returned to the Enterprise and taken to the brig. ", "Had the mission gone according to plan, Admiral, the indigenous species would never have been aware of our interference." [17] The creative team used the waiting period to discuss how they could learn from the reactions to the preceding film, what they would like to see next, as well as "what to draw from the canon and pay homage to or reinvent," in Kurtzman's words. Laughing, Orci likened this dilemma to the Kobayashi Maru scenario. Pike has pulled some strings, and gotten Kirk assigned to be his first officer on the Enterprise.

Alex Kurtzman explained that this clash resulted in Khan being "so exciting to us, and that's why we ultimately chose Khan, because Khan is the perfect foil for that arc [of Kirk maturing into adulthood]." [55] Karl Urban stated, "He's awesome, he's a great addition, and I think his Gary Mitchell is going to be exemplary." They are still twenty minutes away from Qo'noS. After a chase through the chaos that has now engulfed the heart of Starfleet, Spock catches up with Khan on top of a moving garbage barge. The surviving officers take cover, and security personnel enter to combat the jumpship. It's going to be a real treat." "I didn't get to work this time around with people I enjoyed [last time]," Zachary Quinto observed. Kirk orders two other officers, including Hendorff, to remove their red shirts and change into more casual clothing; they cannot have any obvious connection to the Federation on this mission, lest they start an interstellar war. I did the first take and everyone clapped, because I ran like I hadn't run since I was a kid. Kirk recruits Uhura, who knows Klingon, to join him and Spock. (SciFiNow, issue 80, p. 23), The team took the responsibility of creating a sequel extremely seriously. [19] The screenplay was driven by the notion that the members of the Enterprise's senior staff were slowly becoming an inseparable, if occasionally unruly, team of friends. Kirk falsely tells Marcus that Khan is in engineering, before breaking communication, and asking Chekov if they can go to warp. "Give me one reason why I should listen to you" [10] In retrospect, Abrams noted, "There are a number of characters we could have used, and there are a number of issues that we talked about in terms of Khan, and one of them was, 'Why do that? Kirk is just as surprised but welcomes the extra help. He summarized his opinion of the film by stating, "I loved it. (SciFiNow, issue 84, pp. Why bring him back?' In hindsight, he suspected, "I don’t think this is going to hurt the movie. (Star Trek Magazine issue 172, p. 23) He elaborated, "This film deals with really archetypal, huge things about growing up, and life and death, so the characters go on an extraordinary journey." Even though the postponement didn't conform to Paramount's wishes, the organization didn't dismiss the writers in favor of hiring someone else to write the sequel. ", "Tell me more about this volcano. Admiral Alexander Marcus, the head of Starfleet. They are annoyed when he answers a call on his communicator from Starfleet. Benedict Cumberbatch As Kirk wakes from his coma near the end of this film, he can hear his mother and father speaking about him moments after his birth. Not long after, he goes to work at the Kelvin Memorial Archive, catching sight of the unknown man in the street immediately before entering, and takes a long elevator down below the archive. "We wanted to give Uhura something great [....] The idea [was] of giving her a beat that was really tough, and badass, and saving the day. There was a great deal of suspense and uncertainty, not as actors but for our characters. [120] An alternate cut of the scene where Kirk loses his command was the version in which Pike personally demotes him and takes control of the Enterprise, immediately relegating Kirk to first officer. Set roughly a year after the events of Star Trek (2009), Star Trek Into Darkness finds the crew of the Enterprise at a crossroads. [60] She later remembered, "It was great for me to step on the bridge." Lindelof likened the seemingly unavoidable prospect of portraying the Khan of the alternate reality to the basically inescapable effect of gravity on a ship that was falling to Earth. With the announcement of the sequel, fans once again began a campaign to bring Christopher Doohan back to the Enterprise, stating that the Enterprise needed a Doohan. If you ask me, it's already begun. The recycled dialogue used in this film was perhaps most disconcerting for some fans, to which Orci responded, "Put yourself in that situation [of having to write lines for the scene in question] and try and rewrite good stuff – we'd be equally harassed for, 'Oh, they tried to rewrite that scene and failed!'" [16] The movie's writers felt it was very important not to rush the making of the film, fearing that for them to do so might result in a film they themselves weren't proud of. 22 & 26) He also remarked, "I felt like the themes they were trying to tackle really spoke to me. [135] Yet more behind-the-scenes pictures were posted online on 1 March 2012. In Spock, all the rage and hate felt towards the man he now blames for his friend's death erupts to the surface in a primal scream of Khan's name. Kirk reaches out to Spock as the Vulcan presses his hand against the partition in the salute of his world. The ship enters Earth's atmosphere, but stops falling just below a layer of clouds, and stabilizes with multiple thrusters firing. Tomorrow's too late. Dr. "Carol Wallace" joins the crew of the Enterprise. I called him 'Perfect Hair!' Khan is also knocked off course, but reestablishes himself and encourages Kirk to align himself with Khan's course and enter the airlock together. (SciFiNow, issue 80, p. 022) As a result, Pine thought this film was slightly more nerve-wracking and therefore difficult than its immediate predecessor. The Vengeance crushes Alcatraz, skims across San Francisco Bay, and plows through the city, leveling everything in its path. [87], As reported by TrekMovie, shooting of the sequel started on 12 January 2012. Damon Lindelof acknowledged, "We've rewritten this thing fifty different times, trying to find it." And then J.J. said, 'Can we do it again?' Spock, himself in tears, admits he doesn't know, and is failing to hold back his emotions. "I do think that one of the things that we talked about," Damon Lindelof stated, "was making sure that Kirk's travel here was fixed, that, at this point, he couldn't be spinning and sort of bonking around, even though the Enterprise was, and that's one of those little cheats that you do, filmically, to get past it." ", The prospect of working on this film along with J.J. Abrams, Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman, and Bryan Burk originally drew Damon Lindelof to the project. The end of the film originally contained a scene at the commemoration ceremony, where Kirk speaks with Rima Harewood and her daughter Lucille, the latter of whom appears to have been restored to good health. Before Kirk can elaborate on his concerns, a jumpship appears outside their conference room, and opens fire, killing Captain Abbott and several other officers. [30] During production, the film was code named "Project HH". While flying through the atmosphere of Qo'noS, Uhura and Spock begin to argue, much to Kirk's dismay. The writers knew the line "My name is Khan" was not only a significant line in the film, but also that, if the production staff were able to get that moment right, it would elicit a mix of reactions from the audience, such as gasps, applause, and boos. It, along with the opportunity to work with J.J. Abrams, primarily motivated Cumberbatch into agreeing to appear in this production, though he had seen the previous film as well. "I never sweated it," related Cho. "The fight was originally conceived as a fight between two guys on a street, essentially," recalled Abrams. The captain overrides objections Scott voices by knocking him out with a punch, then enters the warp core chamber. The USS Enterprise is destroyed – The USS Enterprise-A is commissioned at Starbase Yorktown as its replacement. ("The Enemy of My Enemy", "Featurettes", Star Trek: The Compendium Blu-ray special features), The priority Khan gives to his crew, which he refers to as his "family," was inspired by a monologue Khan voices in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan about having lost twenty members of his crew, including his wife. However, Khan is not as stunned as they had hoped – he gets up and attacks Scott and Kirk. "I can give you 72. There was always something Barbarella about this moment too, the way she sort of shows up wearing that uniform." (Star Trek Magazine Special 2015, pp. Will ya give me two seconds, ya mad bastard! Abrams joked. (Star Trek Magazine issue 172, pp. He too has gone through the process, to some degree, that some of our crew have gone through, and clearly for some reason it's failed to bring him over, so I think he represents that part of our heroes." (SciFiNow, issue 84, p. 044), All the major actors in the first film – namely, those portraying the command officers of the USS Enterprise (John Cho, Simon Pegg, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoë Saldana, Karl Urban, and Anton Yelchin) – returned for the long-awaited sequel. "Oh, you are smart, Mr. McCoy notices the dead tribble he tested Khan's blood on is slowly regaining its life signs. (SciFiNow, issue 80, p. 023), Michael Dorn was contacted for a role during the start of filming, and was asked to play "an officer – a soldier." Spock replies after Kirk doesn't, saying they have seventy-two. [25]. "Oh, my God! Spock is relieved the punishment was not more severe. Mary Jo Markey and Maryann Brandon felt the original scene didn't work so well for Uhura and Kirk, being less informative for them as well as the audience, regarding Spock's emotional well being. "Why should I care about a Human killing Humans?" The first nine minutes of this film were shown before IMAX 3D screenings of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey on 14 December 2012. Zoë Saldana explained, "He writes these mouthfuls of dialogue, and it's hard for me because Spanish is my first language. [108] [109] The production unit was also scheduled to film in Pleasanton. I thought, thematically, it was ambitious." 042 & 043), Devising how to quickly and covertly transfer Kirk and Khan from the Enterprise to the Vengeance turned out to be an enjoyable challenge. With respect, there is a criminal hiding in these ruins. "I was angry at J.J. for throwing us on to what can be a difficult set," Chris Pine laughed. The new films are devoid of Gene Roddenberry, and at the end of the day, I'm not ok with that." [159] The year after its release, a poll to find the 301 greatest movies of all time by Empire readers ranked the film at #245. [162], Jonathan Frakes is disappointed that, despite visiting the set of this film, he wasn't permitted to participate in the making of it. Kirk asks for Khan's help, assuring him this will be his only opportunity to save his crew. Now, that's not just as simple as it being a terrorist allegory – it's a flavor of the movie, it's an element, but it's certainly not at the center of its plot. Pegg enjoyed collaborating with Pine. [100], Alice Eve visited a filming location where she was astounded by seeing Benedict Cumberbatch, who had been a friend of hers for almost nine or ten years beforehand, do some wire work. "There's a lot of destruction, and a lot of explosions [....] I think we hit it out of the park," he remarked. Khan tries to jump to another garbage barge, but the Vulcan follows, proving physically to be Khan's equal. Lindelof accounted for this by saying, "Kirk is, you know, fixed in a gravitational field, here." A line from this scene – in which Khan asks Kirk, "Is there anything you wouldn't do for your family?" After the crew of the Enterprise find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one-man weapon of mass destruction. (SciFiNow, issue 84, p. 044) He specified, "Particularly the idea of having Kirk face his first real challenge as captain was exciting for us." Seeking a wide array of different ethnicities for this group, including ethnically ambiguous talent. (SciFiNow, issue 80, p. 027), Scott actor Simon Pegg appreciated the opportunity this film gave him and the other main cast members to once again collaborate. 86 & 87) He additionally commented, "It gave us the chance to not have a time constraint force us into doing something that we weren't sure about. For me, the music was exploring that idea and the fact that what is going on is based on something that happened a while ago. The production staff settled on the premise that simply adding 3D to the mix wouldn't be enough – it had to be used to bring more impact to the storytelling or heighten the realism of worlds which didn't exist in reality. Chair's all yours, sir. "That's when Damon came back and reared his ugly head and said, 'OK, now that we have that, is there any reason why we cannot bring Star Trek history into this?' ", "Alright, let's go get this son of a bitch. To which are you referring? However, Starfleet Command saw it differently. [81] He also opted to shoot the film in a hybrid mix of IMAX and Panavision anamorphic 35mm. ("Introducing the Villain", "Featurettes", Star Trek: The Compendium Blu-ray special features), Owing to the significance of establishing the connection between Kirk and Pike, the film's first scene that features them, in which Pike reprimands Kirk, was heavily rewritten. "As you know, I have made a vow never to give you information that could potentially alter your destiny. The choice Abrams made was influenced by him looking closely at modern films which used the two formats. Like the previous film's comic book prequel, Star Trek: Countdown, it was written by Mike Johnson and drawn by David Messina. "My crew is my family, Kirk. [154] [155] Forbes argued that Star Trek Into Darkness' disappointing performance in North America was due to J.J. Abrams' refusal to spoil that John Harrison was Khan, so Paramount was "forced to craft a generic campaign based around Benedict Cumberbatch as 'Generic Bad Guy', so the excitement never took hold [....] It made fans and general moviegoers less excited about Star Trek 2 than they were four, three, or even two years ago." Because the footage provoked J.J. Abrams into becoming extremely interested in seeing what it would be like in the city, this film's chase sequence was put together. [62] [63] The real identity of Benedict Cumberbatch's character was revealed in late April 2013. Inside the Vengeance, Scott is caught by a lone security officer, but he is able to actuate the airlock, allowing Khan and Kirk in, while also blowing out the security officer. It does speak to the fact that we wanted to embed in our universe events that are recognizable to an audience today [....] [Our reality] has ugly things in it, and we wanted to reflect that." Whereas the cue may have worked perfectly well during the previous week, it had to be altered to fit with the new edit. (Star Trek Magazine issue 171, p. 32), Since J.J. Abrams wanted the script of this movie kept secret as much as possible, the film's screenplay was released to the cast very soon before the film was to enter production, the start date being in January 2012. The Borg travel back in time intent on preventing Earth's first contact with an alien species. Conversely, there was no question of the creative staff simply remaking that film. Spock orders all personnel to abandon ship, but the crew refuses, willing to go down with him. The Starfleet officers are soon surrounded by three more D4-class ships, which order them to land. (SciFiNow, p. 026; [68] [69]), For the garbage barge scenes, a green screen set was built in Marina del Rey, California, along Jefferson Blvd. ("enhanced commentary", Star Trek Into Darkness (digital) and Star Trek: The Compendium special features), Whether to have the chase involve one or two garbage barges was the subject of considerable debate. Quinto's training – which was with a stunt trainer, "for a couple months before shooting" – also included sprinting, and Cumberbatch remarked that his own routine was "for these choreographed fight scenes, stunts, [...] and all sorts of fun and games." (SciFiNow, issue 80, p. 023) "We wanted to go the other way, and explore Star Trek very much with conflict, very much with an unperfected humanity," admitted Roberto Orci, "and therefore felt a duty somewhat to reflect the world that we live in.
