Spoilers STAR TREK BEYOND

From what I can tell, it isn't a stage name, but a real name of Dutch derivation, as I said.

 

Haven't been following much of this movie's production until now. Has there been any leaks regarding Idris Elba's character, in regards to his race or looks? What do we know about him?

Also, is there any legitimacy to the trailer being attached to The Force Awakens, or is it just pure speculation? I'd love to see it with Star Wars, it'd get a lot of attention that way.

 

Though it may well be a real Dutch surname, it's just as likely to me that it could be a fake name. Actors with SAG do that kind of stuff all the time with independent films - some of the actors in the original Evil Dead, for example.

 

Generally when actors adopt stage names, though, they adopt less unusual-sounding ones.

 

IMDB also lists Joseph Gatt and it's already been confirmed that he's not in the movie.

I guess that means Elba is going to be a alien.

 

Maybe he's a Gorn.

 

I recognize you from TheForce.net

 

I wonder if he'll be in whiteface like Sofia Boutella.

To be honest, it sounds like a stripper who works the NASCAR circuit.

Two names credited as "lieutenant" were Arabic. I wonder if that means they are in the Dubai scenes?

 

No, that would be Vava Vroom.

 

Not confirmed AFAIK, but I think they also filmed some interiors while in Dubai.

 

Hehehe. Yes you do.

 

Idris Elba is not a Klingon.

"As a behind-the-scenes feature from the DVD/Blu-ray edition of "Star Trek Into Darkness" reveals, the makeup process to create just one of the warriors took about four-and-a-half hours".

 

what? you are on TheForce.net, trekbbs and SuperHeroHype? boy, you have too much time. I guess that means I'll stumble over you on GallifreyBase too?

 

I'm Fruit Pastilles over there, just now getting into Trek.
