This Summer - We're Going BEYOND Where No Man (Or Woman) Has Gone Before.....

The 50th Anniversary of Star Trek is almost upon us, and what other way to celebrate it, than with a new Star Trek film, Star Trek - Beyond.
Beyond is the latest instalment in the rebooted JJ Abrams helmed universe, although, he isn't directing this time round, only producing, due to his commitments with Star Wars - The Force Awakens, when both were filming at the same time.
ST-B is said to have some nice wee nods to celebrate the franchises big 50th and will also honour the great Leonard Nimoy, who sadly passed away last year. Some are hoping for a cameo from some of the older cast members, William Shatner is fav to return. The film brings back cast members, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Simon Pegg (also co-writting the movie), Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Anton Yelchin, and new cast members, such as Idris Elba, playing the new lead villainess alien, Krall, and Sofia Boutella as Taylah (pictured below).
Fast & Furious director, Justin Lin, takes the helm this time round. Some people are happy with that and some aren't, having seen the first trailer for the new 2016 sequel. I for one loved the look of the film in the first trailer, it was fast-paced, action-packed, and an all round Star Trek film of the new generation!!!

Today, a second trailer has been released and it has a more traditional Trekkie feel to it, which I think more fans will enjoy. Maybe the first trailer was a tad bit too action-packed for some peoples liking, a bit too Star Trek III - Fast And Furious-ish?
Anyway, have a look and see for yourself, but I think THIS could be the best Star Trek film to date and here's hoping, it's successful enough to carry on and before we know it, we could be sitting watch a Star Trek IV and Star Trek V.
