J.J. Abrams is well known for being ultra-secretive about his work, preferring obscure teaser trailers and cryptic viral marketing campaigns to actual preview screenings. But in a delightful gesture of goodwill the popular director has made a special exception.

Having received pleas from the family of a terminally ill Trek fan to give him the chance to see the new Star Trek sequel before its long awaited cinematic release, J.J. Abrams responded by arranged a very special screening of the nearly completed film.

Star Trek Into Darkness stars Chris Pine, Karl Urban, Alice Eve and Benedict Cumberbatch. The finished film will arrive in UK cinemas on 17^th May and the first review from special fan Dan is that the film is great and he ‘loved it’. Sadly Dan has since passed away. So Warp Speed Dan, Warp Speed with love.
