We’ve been chomping at the bit to get more of Star Trek Beyond since last year’s trailer, but Paramount has been keeping us bay. Thankfully, our long wait is about to be over as the studio is holding a fan event on May 20th to celebrate the series’ 50th anniversary and use it as a platform for promoting the new film. Per the press release, the event will 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 Lin and the cast and crew, special guests appearances, and other surprises.
We’re pleased to announce we’re giving away 10 tickets to the event. It will be at 7pm on May 20th on the Paramount lot in Los Angeles. The studio is not covering travel so you will have to get to the event yourself. But if you can make it, you should definitely enter for this exciting event. Click here to enter. We will notify winners early next week.
Here’s the full press release below:
