Mr. Y is appalled that I have not blogged about the news that Benedict Cumberbatch, star of the new Sherlock TV series, is going to be the villain in the new Star Trek movie. Apparently J. J. Abrams is a fan of Sherlock. I think this is great casting. I really like him in Sherlock, and I think he can bring new dimensions to a villain role. He has also shown up recently in a couple of movies, War Horse and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. He's also going to be the voice of the dragon Smaug in the Hobbit, somewhat reuniting him with his Sherlock co-star Martin Freeman.
The second season of Sherlock is already airing in the U.K., and will be airing on PBS in May. Can't wait for that. If you have not seen the first season, go buy or rent it now. It's really, really good.
really? didn't realize there was a TV series. but benedict cumberbatch is an awesome name.
