STAR TREK BEYOND CAST UNITES
TO BRING AUDIENCES THE ULTIMATE FAN EXPERIENCE: A CHANCE TO APPEAR IN THE
UPCOMING FILM

HOLLYWOOD, CA, JULY 14,
2015 – In an unprecedented event,
the cast of the Star Trek film franchise has created a unique
philanthropic initiative in partnership with Omaze. The Star Trek: To
Boldly Go campaign will support the cast’s personal selection of nine
global causes, which will each receive equal portions of the funds raised when
fans enter for a chance to win a walk-on role in director Justin Lin’s Star
Trek Beyond, the third film in the blockbuster franchise, released on July
8, 2016. The campaign runs from 12:01 a.m. PST on July 14th
until 11:59 p.m. PST September 1st.
To coincide with the
campaign’s launch, cast members John Cho, Simon Pegg, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto,
Zoë Saldana, Karl Urban, Anton Yelchin and Idris Elba recorded a special video
message on the iconic Starship Enterprise bridge set. The video, released
today, kicked off production and features the cast inviting fans to make
franchise history as the first fans to ever win a walk-on role in a Star
Trek movie. For each $10 contribution made through the Omaze fundraising
platform, eligible participants will be automatically entered for a chance to
win this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
