JJ Abrams is having a Super 8 contest where the prize is a walk-on role for the new Star Trek film.
From the Star Trek website:
To get in on the action, fans should visitwww.Super8Sweeps.com. Once there, they’ll be put to the test with Super 8 trivia questions. The “Super 8: Watch It & Walk-On” sweepstakes will run from November 20 to December 4. Participants must be at least 18 years old and can submit one entry per day; the sweepstakes is open solely to U.S. residents. The two winners will be chosen randomly in December from all entries received. And, in addition the non-speaking walk-on role in the Star Trek (2009) sequel, each winner will receive travel to the filming city and accommodations for two nights. You know what we say: Beam us up.
This could be a great opportunity for all involved. And what the hell, we should all enter right?
And it’s a great excuse to watch Super 8 again, that film was fantastic.
Still no word on the plot from Star Trek, though I’ve heard some compelling rumours about Benicio Del Toro and Klingons. I heard another one about tribbles, but that’s a different story altogether.
Star Trek 2 starts shooting in January and is set for release May 2013.
