Is anyone else pissed off at the official news that Cumberbatch is going to be playing Khan in the new Star Trek movie? Why are we getting a retread of Space Seed instead of something new?

[identity profile] philstar22.livejournal.com 2012-05-03 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't say I'm pissed off. I think he can pull it off. I am annoyed that they are doing the storyline again, though. I do have faith that they can do it. But still. That storyline was one of the best of the original series: best episode, best movie. Why do they need to do it again? Why not retread something else?

(Anonymous) 2012-05-03 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd rather they didn't retread anything, but come up with their own stories. This rehashing just shows the Trek franchise is as creatively bankrupt today as it was when they canned Enterprise.

I have no idea who this Cumberbatch dude is or why there's been so much wank about how he looks, but HOLY CRAP KHAN IS GOING TO BE IN THE NEW STAR TREK MOVIE?

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG THIS WILL EITHER BE TERRIBLE OR AWESOME, BUT EITHER WAY I AM INTRIGUED.

(Anonymous) 2012-05-03 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
It's an adaptation of Space Seed. So they are expanding a sixties 50minute show into 2+ hours. Gonna be a lot of padding for a straight adaptation.

They are so desperate for fanbase support they've convinced Nimoy back too. They don't believe they can get an audience without a character from the real Star Trek franchise. I'm smelling turkey all over it.

I knew he was the villain, but..
He's Khan Singh? As in, an INDIAN dude? For the love of God, it's fucking 2012, why are White people still playing Asian characters?!

(Anonymous) 2012-05-04 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe Kahn is now some descendant of a Brit who went all Lawrence of Arabia during the Raj?

Maybe because the execs think it's un-PC to have an indian villain (which makes no sense because you have an asian, an african-american and an ALIEN on the heroes' side).

I'm curious - is it only bad when white people place people of other races? Is it cool if, say, John Cho plays a Japanese [or whatever] dude, because all Asians are the same?

I don't actually know anything about the original character or actor and am only going on what I read here but I don't really get this. Is the character Indian or an alien race? Like did they pick the original actor because he was indian to play a random alien villain or did they pick him to play an indian? Because if it was just a character who happenned to be played by an indian actor I don't really see how its white washing?

.... now I know. :( Not sure if want. Pretty sure I don't want.

(Anonymous) 2012-05-04 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
I was already pissed that he was going to be in it because I am so tired of this asshole. But now he's playing an Indian? I hope he gets a shit ton of bad press. Fuck him.

[identity profile] johnjie.livejournal.com 2012-05-04 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
More importantly, why is the whitest dude on the planet playing an Indian man?

In short, yes, I am pretty pissed about it. And I rather like the Cumberbatch and his acting style. I just want a new storyline/villain, and I don't want a white dude playing an Indian man.

[identity profile] fenm.livejournal.com 2012-05-04 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
ALL OF THIS.

[identity profile] johnjie.livejournal.com 2012-05-04 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
YEUP.

[identity profile] ninety6tears.livejournal.com 2012-05-04 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
Okay with Khan (though it may be my total lack of surprise that makes me unable to be very disappointed), not okay with the casting. It sucks cause I was pretty excited about Benedict being involved.

[identity profile] johnjie.livejournal.com 2012-05-04 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
Definitely, I was really pleased when I saw he was going to be involved but when I read he wwas possibly playing Khan it changed to 'HELL NO'

(Anonymous) 2012-05-04 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks so very much for the FIRST COMMENT SPOILERS. I mean there's a disclaimer for the secrets, but this had absolutely nothing to do with the secret. Fuck off.

(Anonymous) 2012-05-04 11:53 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, grow up.

Its a secret about Cumberotter and its well known Cumberbund was going to be in Fake Trek 2, also well known Flare Trek is putting out loads of press releases about casting and story right now. Saying you weren't expecting a comment about Cumberland's current projects in a secret about Cumbernauld is disingenuous to say the least.

(Anonymous) 2012-05-04 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe BC's character will turn out to be somebody named Khan N. Smith or something.
