Check Out the New ‘Star Trek Beyond’ Trailer Featuring Rihanna(?!)
With a month left before release, Paramount Pictures has released the final trailer for the third entry in the rebooted Star Trek franchise. Along with new footage, the trailer features a new song by Rihanna entitled ‘Sledgehammer’.
Fans were critical of the first trailer for Star Trek Beyond due to the use of ‘Sabotage‘ by the Beastie Boys. Some felt the music felt out of place, and it will be interesting to see what the response will be with this trailer. Besides the new music, we do get treated to an extended look at the attack on the Enterprise as well as a great final shot (which we won’t spoil here).
Geekscapists, what say you? Is the marketing campaign for Star Trek Beyond effective? If it were up to you, what music would you feature in a Star Trek trailer? Sound off in the comments below.
Star Trek Beyond is out in theaters Friday, July 22.
