As Another Week Goes By, We Get Another Look at STAR TREK BEYOND's Visit To Dubai • TrekCore.com

This weekend marks the start of filming on the STAR TREK BEYOND film set we’ve been watching in Dubai, as the movie production rolls camera at the Central Park Towers construction site.

As the cast and crew head to the set, our sources tell us they’ve started to block off the ground-level views of the build, but we’ve got a few more — but hopefully not final — looks at the location.

It’s certainly harder than ever to describe the saucer-shaped set piece as anything but a crash site, with the field of debris spread across the metropolitan plaza. Whether it’s the same ship seen in Vancouver is still up for debate — perhaps we’ll know more as the weekend shoot progresses.

Finally this week, we’ve also learned that Sofia Boutella has made the journey from Vancouver to Dubai to join the rest of the crew, as the actress posted this shot from the foot of the Burj Khalifa hotel on social media.
