I think some people reposted it elsewhere as if he was in fact working on the trailer or the fan event. Otherwise, editing Beyond probably wouldn't really call for him working that late solely on it this deep into editing.

What's hilarious about this is Simon Pegg, the writer of the film, didn't even like the trailer.
Hey Simon, "you're gonna need to go back to your mom’s basement and take a f***in’ nap!"
This guy from Slipknot said stop taking movies so seriously!
Well since it has to be something "cool" and "hip" and every other modern blockbuster trailer does it now, it'll be some variation of this for two minutes...
or this...

I didn’t love it, because I know there’s a lot more to the film. There’s a lot more story, and a lot more character stuff, and a lot more what I would call ‘Star Trek stuff.’What's hilarious about this is Simon Pegg, the writer of the film, didn't even like the trailer.

This is what Pegg said.
So what he's saying is he knows its not indicative of the whole film. It's a qualification. It doesn't mean the teaser isn't good.
A 90 second trailer is supposed to announce a movie, not give you it's story, and Pegg knows that. They don't want to reveal the story much and haven't given a full plot detail yet, so what's supposed to be in the teaser? Monkeys jumping around? Nope, action, movement, special FX. Several other trek teasers through history have no story or even footage from the movie in them at all, because they are there to let people know it's coming out in the future.
Obviously the pros think it's a good trailer because it's been nominated for best teaser. Appropriately so.

Have you noticed that after that movie came out a whole shit ton of others also used that noise?
It's bloody annoying.
I had no idea who he was either but his quotes are making the rounds..trending as such, and he also happens to be right.
RAMA
He is right. Harsh, but right. We sure he wasn't a member here around '08/'9? 
Slipknot isn't really my kind of music, but I knew just enough about them to recognize the name and wonder why he was showing up on a Trek news site. Apparently, he's a genre fan (not all that surprising, when you consider Slipknot's original look) and his Trek comments were part of a larger tangent on current genre films generally, arising out of an interview he did. He watches the stuff, he has opinions. Fair enough, on a slow news day.
More amusing for me was—after seeing all the gatekeepers in the comments section rushing to dismiss everything about Corey Taylor ("His band is the devil's spawn, he has nothing to do with Trek, who does he think he is and why should we care what he says, etc. Oh, and JJ is evil.")—reading the last comment in the thread:
Yeah. I wondered the same thing. Some exposition would have been nice.
Spin. Pegg was validating negative fan reaction by concurring. As for the pros and what's good, it hasn't seemed to work for the Oscars lately. It only calls into question the validity and virtue of professional opinion.

And yet the majority of viewers liked the trailer..over 2/3rds. Even if we are to suggest that a large number of them are trekkies and "skewing" the numbers because "it's not trek".
Here is pegg's full quote: It was very action-packed. I didn’t… Yeah. It was surprising. I find it to be kind of the marketing people saying, “Everybody come and see this film, it’s full of action and fun,” when there’s a lot more to it than that. I didn’t love it because I know there’s a lot more to the film. There’s a lot more story and a lot more character stuff, and a lot more what I would call Star Trek stuff. But you know, they’ve got to bring a big audience in. They’ve got to bang the drum. To the Star Trek fans, I’d say be patient.
I notice two things. One, he should know better than to be "surprised"(I mean again, they are not going to reveal the plot here) and 2, he's directing comments to the trek "fans", because he's assuming the teaser appealed to others(the majority).
Yes, it's pretty common these days suggest professional people aren't as good judges of their own profession, yet I'd still take their word over yours unless I had mitigating reasons not to.

They did that three years ago.
Perhaps the Olympics, which begin 2 weeks after STB launches?Paramount has changed STB release date in Brasil. From July to 1st september. It is very distant. Why?
That's right. I'd forgotten it.
Squeaky wheel gets the grease!
I'm not saying it's true, but there is a rumor that the movie may be delayed. The change of date in Brazil (from July to September) was something strange because everyone knew about Olympics. There is no reason to move to September. July is the school holiday period in Brazil. I do not know if there was a change on other dates. I heard a rumor that Lin would be dissatisfied with the production of sound. Would it be reason to delay? Others have said that Paramount did not like the movie. I think that only after the 20th is that we will know what will happen. Conspiracy theory?
