The third installment of "Star Trek" movie series has reportedly begun production at the Squamish Boulders, near Vancouver, Canada.
"Star Trek" has begun filming since Thursday, June 25, under the working title "Washington", reported Ace Showbiz.
Stars Zachary Quinto and Zoe Saldana took to Instagram to share some images teasing the filming of the movie.
Quinto uploaded a photo showing off his character's iconic hair style. "someone is preparing to emerge," he captioned the photo.
The actor also posted a very close-up photo of his eyebrow which is appropriately trimmed to fit his role.
Meanwhile, Saldana shared a picture of herself sitting in a makeup chair while reading a magazine.
"Trailer time #startrek," she captioned the photo. She also posted a funny dubsmash video which she captioned, "#boredatwork."
Although the production has been underway, many details of the movie, like the title, have not been confirmed yet.
In April, rumours surfaced that the movie would be called "Star Trek Beyond". As for plot details, they are being kept under wraps but the story is said to involve the Enterprise going on their five-year mission.
Justin Lin is directing from a script penned by Simon Pegg and Doug Jung. Saldana and Quinto are joined by the likes of Pegg, Chris Pine, Karl Urban, John Cho, Anton Yelchin, Sofia Boutella and Idris Elba.
JJ Abrams, who directed the previous two films, is producing the third film. It is slated for a release in US theatres on July 8, 2016.
