The second trailer for Star Trek Beyondis online now. Enjoy!



The Star Trek Beyond twitter account has also released this glorious poster:


Both releases came simultaneously with the Star Trek Beyond fan event hosted at Paramount Studios in LA, which also included a few other treats. Continue below for information.

Here are a few screen-caps of highlights (I'll update with a full breakdown tomorrow).

The thing that jumped out at and most excites me is this amazing new warp effect!


We get some really good looks at what is presumably Starbase Yorktown, which isn't nearly as much a planet as it first appeared. The interior seems to have surfaces with gravity working in multiple directions, which is ready for some exciting actions scenes (that we get the briefest glimpse of).



There are also some really interesting shots, like this unusual view of the Enterprise leaving the starbase


And some fleeting glimpses of the USS Franklin, which looks amazingly similar to the NX class. Looks like the Enterprise isn't the only ship that has to deal with the swarm here.


Which wasn't so good for the Enterprise...


Interesting new alien construct here:


And could this be the rescue of the Enterprise crew?


Then of course there's our bad guys.


And a really good look at Krall (his make-up looks much better up close don't you think?)


On top of the trailer, at the fan event, a behind the scenes video was also screened, and a further video tribute to Leonard Nimoy. Neither have been released online yet, but hopefully they will be soon. The behind the scenes video in particular highlighted that some fifty aliens have been designed for the film, as a nod to the fiftieth anniversary.

Also at the event was director Justin Lin, and producer J.J. Abrams, who were interviewed on stage. And then actors Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, and Karl Urban (Kirk, Spock, and McCoy), who took a Q&A. TrekMovie were thankfully on hand live streaming both sessions, and hope to post their full video online for later viewing. Until then highlights included the promise that the film has some sort of significant dedication to Leonard Nimoy. Surprisingly J.J. Abrams also made a point of highlighting that thanks to pressure from Justin Lin the Paramount lawsuit against the Axanar fan film will be "going away".

The whole event took place in a pretty spectacular purpose built set. Here's a nice panoramic of the room via TrekMovie:


Interestingly the dedication plaque of the USS Enterprise-A (prime timeline) also featured in this set. Think they're trying to tell us something? (Image via TrekCore)


Those in attendance were also treated to an exclusive poster, a nice homage to the The Motion Picture poster, which looks especially cool with Jaylah's facial markings. (Image via TrekMovie):


That's not all they got, everyone there will also be invited to the film's world premier n July 20th at the San Diego Comic Con. Trek News, has more details on that event, which rather unusually for a film premier will also feature a live soundtrack performed by the San Diego Symphony Orchestra. Oh, and will also be the first ever open-air IMAX screening!

Meanwhile back at tonight's event, the crow were ushered outside to witness a further tribute to Leonard Nimoy, the naming of a street in his honour. (Image via the Star Trek Twitter)


And then after watching the trailer (and maybe something more, details to come), attendees were taken to an exhibit of costumes and props from the movie. (Images via Adam B. Vary, Lorenzo, and Marcus Errico)
