Star Trek is the 2009 reboot of the beloved science-fiction franchise that recast the main characters of the original Star Trek television series. The film was critically acclaimed and grossed over $385 million in worldwide box office; it was also the first Star Trek film to win an Academy Award, for Best Makeup. The follow-up film, Star Trek Into Darkness, grossed over $467 million worldwide and is the highest-grossing Star Trek film to date.

Brandon Alinger, Prop Store COO, commented on the upcoming auction: "Prop Store is thrilled to be working with Paramount on the official auction for Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness. The 2009 film was a brilliant reboot of the series and both it and Star Trek Into DARKNESS are highly regarded by fans, including all of us at Prop Store. We expect to see strong interest in all of the auction content, but especially items like the Enterprise costumes, Starfleet props, and Klingon-related lots-the majority of which have never been available to the public before. It's a good time to be a Star Trek fan."

The auction begins at 11:00am PST on Saturday 2nd December 2017. Lots can be viewed and bidders can register to participate at: http://www.propstore.com/auction
