American filmmaker best known for the Fast and Furious films, who directed the third Kelvin Timeline film, Star Trek Beyond.
Justin Lin (born 1971) is an American filmmaker who first drew attention with the independent drama Better Luck Tomorrow and went on to direct several Fast and Furious films, from Tokyo Drift through Fast and Furious 6 and later F9.
Lin took over the third Kelvin Timeline film after J.J. Abrams moved on to Star Wars and directed Star Trek Beyond (2016), released in the franchise's fiftieth-anniversary year. The film strands the Enterprise crew on a remote planet after the destruction of their ship and introduces the villain Krall and the scavenger Jaylah, with the long-lost USS Franklin playing a key role.
