Eve, Pine & Now Cumberbatch!: The “Star Trek Into Darkness” flesh fest continues! First, the film raised eyebrows with what some are calling a gratuitous underwear scene with Alice Eve. Damon Lindelof, the sci-fi sequel’s co-writer and producer, apologized for the scene, but also pointed out that Chris Pine does his fair share semi-naked work in the film. Last night on “Conan,” director J.J. Abrams showed fans a deleted shower scene with Benedict Cumberbatch, who stars as the film’s villain. Conan, naturally, added an alternate score to make it sexier!
