Leave it up to director J.J. Abrams to finally bring 'Star Wars' and 'Star Trek' together. According to THR, Paramount's highly anticipated Star Trek Beyond trailer will debut in theaters before showings of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Abrams directed 'Star Trek' (2009) and 'Star Trek Into Darkness' (2013) for Paramount, but gave up directing duties on 'Star Trek Beyond' to helm 'The Force Awakens' for Lucasfilm and Disney.
