J.J. Abrams, George Takei to Do 'Star Trek' Facebook Chat

Star Trek Into Darkness director J.J. Abrams will participate in a Facebook Live video chat hosted by comedian Andy Samberg on May 10, just a week before the anticipated summer blockbuster hits theaters on May 17.

The chat -- in which Facebook users will be allowed to ask questions -- will begin at 8:30 p.m. ET, a Facebook representative told Mashable. It will feature special guest George Takei, who played Hikaru Sulu on the original 1960s Star Trek television show.

"This is an exclusive opportunity for Facebook fans to ask anything about the Star Trek universe, and to boldly go where few have gone before," Paramount teased Thursday.

Samberg will moderate Abrams' incoming questions from Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif., while Takei will chime in via video from a New York City location.
