WithStar Trek Beyondopening in theaters this weekend, the other day I landed an exclusive video interview with producerJ.J. Abrams. Since he’s been answering a lot of the same questions aboutStar Trek, plus the fact that I didn’t want to talk about spoilers from the movie, I decided to ask some fun questions. We talked about what he collects, favorite video game consoles, what they’d like to see in aStar Warsanthology movie, if he’s playing Pokemon Go, Supreme Leader Snoke, how many times he talkedSimon Peggoff a ledge while makingStar Trek Beyond, and who he slept with to be able to work on bothStar WarsandStar Trek.

Check out the interview above and below you can find the official synopsis followed by some recentStar Treklinks and exactly what we talked about.
“Star Trek Beyond,” the highly anticipated next installment in the globally popular Star Trek franchise, created by Gene Roddenberry and reintroduced by J.J. Abrams in 2009, returns with director Justin Lin (“The Fast and the Furious” franchise) at the helm of this epic voyage of the U.S.S. Enterprise and her intrepid crew. In “Beyond,” the Enterprise crew explores the furthest reaches of uncharted space, where they encounter a mysterious new enemy who puts them and everything the Federation stands for to the test.
