Exciting New Footage In These Latest TV Spots For STAR TREK BEYOND; Alternate Timeline Officially Named
Three new TV ads for Justin Lin's Star Trek Beyond should get you hyped-up for next month's return to the Final Frontier. Plus, we now know what to refer to the rebooted movie timeline as...
The first of these Star Trek Beyond TV spots features quite a bit of new footage and dialogue from the movie, while the others are basically just shorter versions of the previous trailers - though they do also contain some previous unseen shots here and there.
In addition, it's now been confirmed that the alternate timeline introduced in J.J. Abrams' 2009 reboot will be known as the Kelvin Timeline after the starship that was destroyed by Nero (Eric Bana) in the opening scene of the film. James Kirk's father (Chris Hemsworth) was killed that day, which ultimately led to his rebellious son joining Starfleet to see if he could live up to his legacy.
After stopping off at Starbase Earhart, a remote outpost on the fringes of Federation space, the USS Enterprise, halfway into their five-year mission, is destroyed by a powerful, unstoppable wave of unknown aliens. With the crew stranded on a unknown planet and with no apparent means of rescue, they find themselves in conflict with a new ruthless enemy who has a well-earned hatred of the Federation and what it stands for.
Star Trek Beyond reunites Jon Cho, Simon Pegg, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoë Saldana, Karl Urban and Anton Yelchin, with Idris Elba, Sofia Boutella, Lydia Wilson, Shohreh Aghdashloo and Joe Taslim joining the cast.
The movie hits theaters on 22nd July, 2016.
