Third 'Star Trek Beyond' Trailer Gets Help From Rihanna
Directed by Justin Lin, the third installment of the modern Star Trek franchise, titled Star Trek Beyond, is certainly taking risks in ways that the franchise has never done before.
This time, its the inclusion of a mainstream pop song.
Titled “Sledgehammer” (and not a Peter Gabriel cover), Rihanna provides the pretty great sounding new tune, presented alongside a new trailer for the film, as uploaded this morning by Paramount Pictures.
The more I see of Star Trek Beyond, I like it. Justin Lin is bringing a strong, familial energy to the movie (as he did with the Fast & Furious franchise), and the movie is featuring bright and strong imagery, a nice contrast to the dark destruction porn we tend to see in theaters.
Hopefully, this is the cure to what has been an off Summer, and the excitement is delivered upon.
Star Trek Beyond hits theaters on July 22, 2016.
