A Couple of days ago pop star Rihanna had her upcoming song ‘Sledgehammer’ debut as part of the recent Star Trek Beyond Trailer. Tomorrow at IMAX cinemas the official music video will premiere on the big screen but below you can get a look at the video with this preview clip below…
Whilst there’s been a ‘fallout’ with Ghosbusters Fallout Boy song (pardon the punt), Rihanna‘s epic ballad has been greeted with favourable appraise. The music video for the song, directed by Floria Sigismondi(The Runaways), and it’s the first ever music video to be entirely using IMAX Cameras.
Director Sigismondi commented “I have been a fan of Star Trek since I was a little girl. I loved the idea that it explored new territory and the unknown. So being able to be the first director to shoot a music video entirely with IMAX cameras and use this revolutionary technology to explore a different type of new territory was a dream come true.”
In a new short Featurette Rihanna discusses her love for Star Trek and the inspiration behind her new song “Sledgehammer” for the upcoming film Star Trek Beyond.
