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.

Star Trek 3 - On Set Pics!

The first set pics from the 2016 Justin Lin helmed Star Trek sequel, Star Trek - Beyond, have leaked online with a first look at Sofia Boutella's unknown alien character and a first look at the new Starfleet uniforms. Boutella looks awesome, the new uniform is smart looking although Simon Pegg is spotted wearing the classic red shirt. Could the suit that Chris Pine's Captain Kirk is wearing be for Captain and Senior Officers only? I just can't wait to see what kind of villain Brit "Luther" actor, Idris Elba will be portraying in the 2016 highly-anticipated sequel, that celebrates the franchises 50th anniversary.
We can assume that classic Captain Kirk, William Shatner will be present in some sort of a way along with his original crew, minus original Bones McCoy, DeForest Kelley, who sadly passed away in the early 90's, original Scotty, James Doohan, who passed away in 2005 and the late great Leonard Nimoy aka Mr Spock, who passed away earlier this year.

CONTRACTS RENEWED FOR A STAR TREK IV?

On other Star Trek related news, during the month of July this year, Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto have reportedly signed on for a fourth film in the rebooted franchise. They have both been given $6 million each for an option to star in a third sequel, should the third film in the franchise be a success.
There's no news as of yet if any of the rest of the cast and signed on or even decided to come back, then again, this quick contract renewal has not yet been confirmed either so take everything with a pinch of salt until Paramount confirm their future plans sometimes within the next year or so.

Joe Cornish To Direct Third "STAR TREK" Film?

"Attack The Block" director Joe Cornish is the latest name to pop up as the new director for the next "Star Trek" film according to a well known source over at Paramount Studios. Cornish's name popped up before and no one took interest but now, everyone is hoping that this is true.
Personally I've never seen "Attack The Block" but I've heard that it was great and that he knew what he was doing when it came to sci-fi. I would love for JJ Abrams to return to direct "Trek 3" but he's busy with the new "Star Wars: Episode 7", so he can't but he's staying on to produce the next "Star Trek" film, so still good.
