Star Trek - Into Darkness

[orangerful]

Okay, if the last Star Trek movie was not a direct remake of the original
Star Trek movie, why does everyone appear to want 'Into Darkness' to be a
remake of 'Wrath of Khan'??? It makes no sense to me. Plus, WoK was
actually a *good* Star Trek movie and does not need to be remade, so this
obsession with saying that Cumberbatch is playing Khan annoys me.

The 9-minute preview in front of the IMAX Hobbit apparently does not give
any additional clues to his identity, though they do reveal the identity of
the blonde woman who is the same character as the doctor in WoK - BUT BUT
BUT - in WoK she is already Kirk's baby mama, and here she is clearly a
sweet young innocent thing, yet to be corrupted by James.

Anyway, I really hope that Cumberbatch is not Khan. I hope that Abrams and
his Co. are just torturing us with all these nods and winks to the classic
series but have been wise enough to create either a new character or pull
someone so random from classic Trek that it will be new to us and amuse the
die hard fans...

...of course, this is also the group that made LOST so I shouldn't really
put any faith in them what so ever...

A NINE MINUTE PREVIEW? Oh, that's awesome.

Maybe their doing the 'how we got to WoK' movie? Like, how Khan became a sassy man that wanted to blow up everything with Genesis. I hope they at least try to make this film stand on it's own. The first remake did, and it would be awkward if this one didn't.

I heard somewhere that he said in an interview he wasn't playing Khan but a man named John instead? He couldn't say much besides that, so I doubt they're doing a remake.
