As the 60th anniversary of the iconic "Star Trek" franchise approaches, Paramount and its global partners are organizing a variety of events to celebrate this milestone. "Star Trek" first debuted on the NBC Television Network on September 8, 1966, with an hour-long episode titled "The Man Trap." Over the decades, the franchise has expanded into a vast universe, including nine live-action series, three animated series, and 14 feature films. From September 4 to 8, fans across the United States can enjoy limited-release 4K restored versions of the first four "Star Trek" movies at 750 AMC, Cinemark Alamo Drafthouse, and Regal Cinemas locations. These screenings will be paired with episodes from "The Original Series" that inspired the films. Participating theaters will also offer special merchandise, such as limited-edition "Star Trek" Enterprise popcorn buckets and multi-colored anniversary drink cups. On September 7, the entertainment news show "Entertainment Tonight" will air an exclusive "ET Vault Unlocked" episode featuring archival interviews with Gene Roddenberry, the creator of "Star Trek," and other franchise cast members. The following day, September 8, both "The Price Is Right" and "Let’s Make a Deal" will air special "Star Trek"-themed episodes with guest appearances from actors Rebecca Romijn and Ethan Peck from the series "Strange New Worlds." Meanwhile, Nick at Nite will host a marathon of "The Big Bang Theory" episodes that reference or feature "Star Trek" content. In London, fans can take part in a free live event on September 8 at the Science Museum, where they will attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the most people giving the Vulcan salute from "Star Trek" at the same time. In Hollywood, a restored star on the Walk of Fame honoring Gene Roddenberry will be unveiled, organized by the Roddenberry family, the Hollywood Historic Trust, and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. Meanwhile, in space, the European Space Agency will mark the anniversary by having astronaut Sophie Adenot wear a "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" Captain’s Delta badge while aboard the International Space Station, alongside special commemorative content.
