Star Trek Beyond

Star Trek fans in attendance at a special fan event in Los Angeles were the first to hear the big Star Trek Beyond news. Director Justin Lin (the Fast and Furious franchise) revealed Star Trek Beyond will not only have its world premiere at the 2016 San Diego Comic Con, it will also screen outdoors in IMAX accompanied by a full orchestra playing Michael Giacchino’s score. Fans fortunate enough to hear the announcement in person at the Star Trek fan event received a ticket to the Comic Con screening. Additional ticketing details will be announced closer to this year’s Con.


The Star Trek Beyond screening will take place on preview night, Wednesday, July 20th at the Embarcadero Marina Park South. The event marks the first open air IMAX world premiere, and Paramount Pictures confirmed the cast and filmmakers will be in attendance. “I am thrilled to celebrate the premiere of the film together with the fans at Comic Con and excited for everyone there to experience Michael Giacchino’s incredible score played live,” said Lin.

Star Trek Beyond stars John Cho, Simon Pegg, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoë Saldana, Karl Urban, Anton Yelchin and Idris Elba. Pegg and Doug Jung wrote the screenplay and Lin, J.J. Abrams, Roberto Orci, and Lindsey Weber produced the third film in the new series.

The Plot: In Beyond, the Enterprise crew explores the furthest reaches of uncharted space, where they encounter a mysterious new enemy who puts them and everything the Federation stands for to the test.
