Abrams stood on stage with the stars of Beyond  including Idris Elba, Zoe Saldana and Chris Pine  before the screening began to speak about the loss of the 27-year-old actor. "As wonderful as this is to be here with all of you and to be celebrating the 50th anniversary of Star Trek, there is something wrong tonight," he said, according to E! News. "There is something missing tonight. There is someone missing tonight. Anton Yelchin should be here. Anton's parents are here, Irina and Victor. We love their son, and if I could ask everyone to have a moment of silence for our dear friend, Anton.", The silence lasted for over a minute. Watch a clip below.
