New STAR TREK BEYOND Video Reveals Sulu's Secret
Star Trek Beyond opens with USS Enterprise crew 2 years into the mission and feeling homesick. Sulu (John Cho) in particular has extra incentive to return home as he has a baby daughter waiting for him. Could it be the dark horse in the 2016 Summer box office race?
Star Trek Beyond is the sequel to 2013's Star Trek Into Darkness. Justin Lin takes over for J.J. Abrams as director. Simon Pegg, Doug Jung, Roberto Orci, John D. Payne and Patrick McCay all collaborated on the script. Pegg and Jung rewrote the script previously written by Orci, Payne and McCay. How much of the original script remains is unknown.
The film will take much of the Enterprise crew off the ship, as it's destroyed by a new race of powerful aliens led by Idris Elba. The crew finds themselves split up on an unknown planet, seeking to reunite and make their way off the planet and join Star Fleet in the ongoing battle.
