Wednesday afternoon, Paramount alerted press that there was an imminent announcement coming about a massive fan event. And then, Thursday, the official details were announced.
The fan event will take place May 20, and include “the premiere of the newest Star Trek Beyond trailer, an exclusive first-look of never before seen footage from the upcoming film, a Q&A with [director Justin] Lin and the cast and crew, special guests appearances, and other surprises. The Q&A will be streamed via Facebook Live.”
“As a lifelong fan of Trek, we wanted to do something special for the fans and we couldn’t think of a better way to do that than creating an event dedicated to them in the year that we also come together to celebrate the series’ amazing 50th year,” said Justin Lin in a press release.
