Andy Serkis: Martin Freeman was unpredictable on The Hobbit - Very reminiscent of what Steve Moffat and Mark Gatiss said on one of the Sherlock S1 DVD commentaries - that for every take, Martin did it a little differently, providing the director with a whole palette from which to pick from, and making it seem as if every time was the first time that he did the scene.

The first one is from back in July, regarding the mystery around Benedict Cumberbatch's villain in the upcoming Star Trek film:

Bones Reveals 'Star Trek' Sequel's Villain - Karl Urban Slips in Praising Benedict Cumberbatch

Obviously if you don't want to know who Benedict will play, don't read this one - even if we don't know whether it was a real slip-up or a clever ruse. The man himself is still keeping mum on the subject as of recent interviews.


The second one is from just a few days ago:

Exclusive: Sequel Title Confirmed – ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’
