New STAR TREK BEYOND Poster and Full Details on The San Diego Comic-Con World Premiere

During the Star Trek fan event that took place at the Paramount Pictures studio lot this past Friday night, the studio premiered the trailer for the upcoming Star Trek Beyond and announced that the film will have its world premiere at San Diego Comic-Con! They also handed out this awesome poster for the film to everyone in attendance. As you can see, it pays tribute to the poster for the very first Star Trek film.

We now have the full details of the event thanks to a press release the studio sent out. The movie will premiere as an outdoor IMAX event on Wednesday, July 20th at the Embarcadero Marina Park South. To make things even better, the movie will also be accompanied by a live orchestra! 

I was lucky enough to already get a pass to the premiere, and after seeing that last trailer, I couldn’t be more excited! Star Trek Beyond looks like an incredibly exciting movie. I personally think it looks like it could be better than the last two films. It seems like they are finally going to get into the meat of Star Trek and what it is about.

Here is the press release for the World Premiere screening, which features all the details you need for now. More information will be revealed at a later date.

Paramount Pictures, Skydance, Bad Robot and director Justin Lin today announced that the world premiere of “STAR TREK BEYOND” will play in the immersive IMAX® format at Comic-Con International: San Diego, in partnership with the San Diego Symphony Orchestra and IMAX Corporation, on Wednesday, July 20, at the Embarcadero Marina Park South.
