The cast of Star Trek Beyond, along with Bad Robot, Paramount Pictures and Omaze, will pay it forward with Star Trek: To Boldly Go, an initiative that will result in one lucky Star Trek fan winning a walk-on role in the new Trek adventure and nine global causes, chosen personally by the cast, receiving equal portions of the funds raised by the campaign.



Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Anton Yelchin, Simon Pegg, John Cho, Karl Urban and Idris Elba also gathered together to record a video message about the Star Trek: To Boldly Go campaign. The spot, recorded on the Enterprise bridge set, aired this morning, and it detailed how each $10 contribution made through the Omaze fundraising platform makes the participant eligible to win the walk-on role.
