After all your work on this film, how was it finally seeing it on the big screen?
Benedict Cumberbatch: It was extraordinary. I mean, normally as an actor you get very self-conscious when you’re watching yourself and you’re in the audience watching your work – it’s a peculiar, surreal experience. I’m always uncomfortable about viewing my work. But with this there is so much going on around you, and even though your imagination has to go there on the day to try to contextualize your environment and how to respond to that as an actor…. and actually, with J.J. there’s a lot of real environment, there’s a lot of live-action, the ship and various other locations were huge sets. But making it you don’t know how really sophisticated and brilliant and rich and beautiful the imagery is going to be. But it really did blow me away. So, even in the scenes where I’m like, “Oh God, it’s me,” cowering a little bit (laughs), I could really distract myself by getting lost in space and Earth’s never looked so good as well.

What would you say was was the biggest challenge for you of in making ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’? There’s a lot more vulnerability to Kirk in this film….
Chris Pine: Yeah. I would say that everything is bigger about this film in terms of spectacle and story. The first film, we got a chance to establish these characters and who they were and paint them in quite primary colors. This story, for each of us, it gave us a real chance to explore many different sides of our characters that we didn’t get to do beforehand. So for me it was trying to find, for a character who is so genetically self-assured, was trying to find the flip side of that coin, and to find the fragility and vulnerability all at the same time. It was exciting and difficult all at the same time.
