zap2it.com：'Star Trek 2': 'Sherlock' star Benedict Cumberbatch dyes hair, loves J.J. Abrams
"I'm getting my hair dyed at the moment, at work," British actor Benedict Cumberbatch tells Zap2it, calling in from the set of "Star Trek 2," the second installment in director J.J. Abrams' big-screen reboot of the science-fiction franchise.
"The movie goes very well," Cumberbatch says. "It's very, very long hours, but it's an incredible job. It's phenomenal. J.J. brings it. It's a very exciting set to be on. He's very imaginative. He's involved in the details, the acting and all the wonderful ideas he has for capturing stories in a fresh and imaginative way.
"Just the range of stuff I get to do in one day, it's great. Also, what he's asking me, it's just wonderful. I can't say much nicer than that. I'm basically raving about it, and I don't have a gun pointed to my head.
"He's a genuinely good human being, as well as being absurdly talented and popular. He's just fantastically talented, just in payoffs and thrills and chills along the way."
Asked if he's enjoying it all, Cumberbatch says, "Yeah, you betcha. It's great. I've gone up two suit sizes. The character I'm playing, he's strong, I can say that much. I've changed my physique a bit, so that requires eating like a foie gras goose, well beyond your appetite, And, providing I don't feel too ill, I then work out two hours a day with a phenomenal trainer. It's the L.A. way."
Cumberbatch has also gotten a chance to film in the Budweiser Brewery in the San Fernando Valley, which was used in Abrams' first "Star Trek" movie as the engine room of the Starship Enterprise.
"It's noisy," he says. "it's very, very, very mind-numbingly noisy. It's slightly like what you'd imagine they'd be playing in your earphones if you were being tortured by some foreign operative. It's not particularly pleasant.
"And yet, it's stunning, and it films beautifully. It's incredible. It's a working, functioning factory, and production doesn't shut down for us being there. It's fantastic, really beautiful."
But, he didn't get to bring home a case of cold Bud.
"No, I didn't," says Cumberbatch. "I'd like to. No, I didn't. There was a nice little tap on one of the big, old vats, and I thought, 'I wonder if I should take a taste.'"
ハリウッド映画で求められるのは、ガッチリ鍛えられた身体。Bennyも例外ではなく、しっかり食べて1日2時間のトレーニングが日課となっているようで、結果、スーツが2サイズほどアップしたとか。
撮影中に衣装のサイズが変わったら、衣装さん大変そう…。でも、珍しい話じゃないですかね。『Batman Begins』の時、クリスチャン・ベールも撮影前に衣装合わせをした時から撮影開始までにトレーニングで身体が大きくなり、衣装が入らなかったなんて話があったはず。
髪をダークカラーに、身体を鍛えて、『Star Trek』でも使った場所で撮影して…。
主演のクリス・パインによると、『Untitled Star Trek Sequel/スタートレック2(仮)』は更にアクション満載の出来になっているとか。
Movieweb：Star Trek 2 Is a Relentless Action-Packed Sequel Says Chris Pine
"Of course I'm gonna tell you I think it's gonna be better. You pick up the characters from where they left off, and the development of the characters - I think - is just as exciting as the first one. And it's relentless. I think that's the best adjective I can use... it's just as action-packed as the first."
"We're almost done. It's wrapping up very soon."
そして撮影自体はもうすぐ終了するようです。早くトレーラーや公式スチールが見たいです。
アメリカで『SHERLOCK/シャーロック』シリーズ2の放送を10日後に控えて、少しベネディクト・カンバーバッチの露出が上がるかもしれないですね～。
