The cast of "Star Trek Beyond" recently appeared in a new video for their charity contest in conjunction with Omaze and revealed a few key images from the upcoming third film in the rebooted "Star Trek" series.

One of the images was a new alien species set to appear in the film. It is unknown whether this new alien will play an important role in the upcoming film or if Paramount just wanted to generate some buzz for their upcoming blockbuster. What does appear to be obvious is that director Justin Lin ("Fast & Furious 6") is placing an emphasis on practical effects.

"Beyond" will follow the cast of the U.S.S. Enterprise as they embark on a five-year mission into deep space to discover new regions and beings. This comes as welcome news to "Star Trek" die-hards who felt as if the new series focused too much on action and not enough on the exploratory nature of the original series.
