J.J. Abrams

Described by Benedict Cumberbatch as a polymath, J.J. Abrams approaches every project with absolute dedication, gusto and more than a touch of creative genius. While readying to embark on a new adventure in a galaxy far, far, away, the director reveals a passion for Star Trek isn't something he's going to let go anytime soon.

Chris Pine

Before taking on the iconic role of Captain James Tiberius Kirk in 2009's Star Trek, Chris Pine appeared in TV shows from ER to Six Feet Under, by way of CSI: Miami. Soon to be seen as the new Jack Ryan, his Hollywood star is definitely in the ascendent. With Star Trek Into Darkness about to hit cinemas, Pine talks to Star Trek Magazine about returning to the Bridge of the Enterprise.

Benedict Cumberbatch

Having made his name as Conan Doyle's super sleuth Sherlock, Benedict Cumberbatch is set to gain a whole new legion of fans by becoming the bad guy. The versatile British actor talks to Star Trek Magazine about his villainous new role in Star Trek Into Darkness.

Zachary Quinto

Always keen to expand his horizons, Zachary Quinto has diversified into TV roles and movie production in the intervening years between Trek movies, but what new challenges face Spock in Star Trek Into Darkness?

Zoe Saldana

From a Pirate of the Caribbean to a feisty blue alien on a faraway planet, Zoe Saldana is no stranger to playing unusual and strong female characters, but the iconic role of Nyota Uhuru is something else, as she explains to Star Trek Magazine.

Alice Eve

Oxford graduate Alice Eve plays a young Starfleet medic destined to become the future love of Captain James T. Kirk - at least as far as the original universe is concerned... Star Trek Magazine finds out how she made the role her own.

Damon Lindelof

Having explored the metaphysical, meta-textural, and fantastical with his labyrinthine plots for the TV classic Lost and Alien 'prequel' Prometheus, continuing the new voyages of Star Trek meant a new set of storytelling challenges for Damon Lindelof and the writing team behind Into Darkness.

Original Fiction

Mirror Image - Part two. Captain Va'Kel Shon and Counselor Philippa Matthias of the U.S.S. Enterprise-F are called to Nukara Prime to question Shon's double from the Mirror Universe, whom Starfleet believes has information about Terran infiltrations into the prime universe. Val Shon, Commander of the raiding vessel Selkirk, isn't willing to talk about the incursions, but instead asks for Captain Shon's help to return to the Mirror Universe and save the woman they both love...
