Plus: <strong>Simon Pegg<\/strong> tweets new picture.<\/p>\n<p>The criticism from people such as<strong> George Takei<\/strong>, who had worked with Lin before, was particularly painful. &#8220;George has always handled things with class,&#8221; said Lin. &#8220;He was a huge part of my life, so for him to swing a sucker punch, that hurt.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Some fans called the trailer &#8220;<em>Fast and Furious<\/em> in Space,&#8221; partly due to <strong>Chris Pine<\/strong>&#8216;s motorcycle jump in the trailer. Pine also rode a motorcycle in <em>Star Trek (2009)<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;On <em>Fast<\/em>, I wasn&#8217;t a car guy,&#8221; said Lin. &#8220;I guess it hurt more because [<em>Star Trek<\/em>] is something that is a part of me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Co-writer <strong>Simon Pegg<\/strong> had his opinion on the negative reaction to the trailer. He was &#8220;disappointed that <strong>Wil Wheaton, Patton Oswalt<\/strong>, and <strong>George Takei<\/strong> were slagging off the trailer, because they know a finished trailer is never a reflection of the finished film. Get a fucking clue! It&#8217;s really good fun: thrilling and heartfelt.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pegg has tweeted out a new photo, featuring Keenser, just ahead of the new trailer which releases tomorrow. &#8220;Keenser says &#8216;relax,'&#8221; said Pegg. &#8220;One more day until the new <em>Star Trek Beyond<\/em> trailer finally drops.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Star Trek Beyond&#8216;s director Justin Lin was unpleasantly surprised with the reaction to the first&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":43412,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2818],"tags":[3256,8138,2572,2399],"class_list":["post-43411","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-star-trek-beyond","tag-keenser","tag-lin","tag-pegg","tag-trailer"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/STBLinPegg051916.gif",580,225,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/STBLinPegg051916-150x150.gif",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/STBLinPegg051916.gif",580,225,false],"medium_large":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/STBLinPegg051916.gif",580,225,false],"large":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/STBLinPegg051916.gif",580,225,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/STBLinPegg051916.gif",580,225,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/STBLinPegg051916.gif",580,225,false],"newsphere-slider-full":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/STBLinPegg051916.gif",580,225,false],"newsphere-featured":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/STBLinPegg051916.gif",580,225,false],"newsphere-medium":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/STBLinPegg051916.gif",580,225,false]},"author_info":{"display_name":"T&#39;Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/star-trek-beyond\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Star Trek Beyond<\/a>","tag_info":"Star Trek Beyond","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43411","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43411"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43411\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":43413,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43411\/revisions\/43413"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/43412"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43411"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43411"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43411"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
