Zoe Saldana and Zachary Quinto may be co-workers and lovers in "Star Trek" movies, but they will have a face-off on "Lip Sync Battle". The "Star Trek Beyond" stars will be pitted against each other in a one-hour special that is set to air on Thursday, June 9 at 8 P.M. ET on Spike TV.

In some pictures obtained by EW, Quinto is seen dressing like a rock star, while Saldana is busting a move joined by some backup dancers. A promo video for the special also offers a glimpse of appearances by other stars, TLC's Tionne Watkins (T-Boz) and Rozonda Thomas (Chilli).

"I'm competing against a really good friend that I love and respect and he's going to really bring it and give it his all, so the least I can do is do the same," Saldana said when met on the set. Quinto admitted that he was a bit nervous prior to taping his performance. "I feel a little bit daunted," he confessed. "It's unlike anything I've done, which is why I wanted to do it, but I feel like I'm going to bring it."

Their new movie "Star Trek Beyond" is due to open in U.S. theaters on July 22.
