The new music video for Rihanna’s “Sledgehammer” single, written by Sia, arrived this morning, featuring the singer surrounded by STAR TREK BEYOND imagery.

Directed by Floria Sigismondi, this is the first music video to be filmed completed with IMAX cameras – and will hopefully be included on the inevitable Blu-ray release.

Close encounter.

It seems that this track is truly being integrated into the BEYOND marketing campaign much more than just its inclusion in this week’s new trailer – clearly a lot of money went into this.

How this song will be used in STAR TREK BEYOND itself has yet to be announced.
