The
Star Trek: To Boldly Go charity campaign, which supports a number of charities
[all nine charities are listed at the bottom of this article], has entered its final 48 hours, and screenwriter/actor
Simon Pegg has released a new video to motivate people to either start or continue donating to the cause. He reiterates the prizes that you can win via donating, which are:
-
The chance to play a walking role on Justin Lin's Star Trek Beyond
-
Captain Kirk's chair
-
Two tickets to the film's premiere
On top of this, he also released a collection of outtakes from on the set of the upcoming sci-fi film. While the outtakes seem to centre on the cast filming for the
Star Trek: To Boldly Go promotion, there IS something of a major reveal for the film at the
1:55 mark on the video, when a crew member walks on camera holding a bust of an alien's head. Most notably, a previously unseen Alien's head. This is quite exciting, as one of the most intriguing aspects of the
Star Trek Beyond is the cast and crew's willingness to truly expand on the franchise, adding in new races and planets, something that is certainly not common when rebooting fan-favourite franchises. You can check out the video, and a screen-capture of the bust, below:
