CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar

Status
Not open for further replies.
I have another legal question.

Why has there not been an injunction to halt the fundraising? Is CBS just giving Peters more rope?

I have to run (NYE dinner 'n stuff) - my quick guess is something like that is in the works but if it's not done by end of biz today (Pacific Standard Time), then it might not happen until Monday 9 AM PST.

5 PM PST today is happening in a little over 1 hour, yes?
 
You do it and I will view it

Same here! :lol:

Is Isis not that shape shifting cat from TOS episode ‘Assignment Earth’?

Your mission should you choose to accept it is to infiltrate the Axanar websites & see if there is anything "fishy" going on....

If you our any of your team is captured, CBS / Para will say you were not afilliated with them...

You know what I find really hilarious? The folks saying that a WAR MOVIE is Star Trek "the way it's supposed to be" when TOS was pretty darn anti-war, and TNG said we'd have no interpersonal conflicts by the 24th century.

Every time someone posts "~Gene Roddenberry's vision~," I die a little inside.

I haven't seen any hatred at all.

A lot of the "I bet there was never going to be a movie! This was all a con! Has anyone even gotten one of these so-called 'patches?'" nonsense is pretty vindictive. I mean, jeeze, aren't the facts bad enough? We have to go and turn this into a grand criminal conspiracy instead of some people overreaching in response to unexpected success? It happens all the time. How many lottery winners have gone broke because they don't know how to handle all that money dropping on them at once? Hell, how many Kickstarters blew up and ended up in trouble because they over-promised on what they could do with the additional money or were over-extended by the large number of perks to send out?

You know why the movie hasn't come out yet?

One: Movies are hard. Always harder than you expect.

Two: Scope creep. They got a lot more money than they expected, so they decided to do more with it. If they stuck to the original plan and hadn't decided to keep going bigger and bigger, there probably never would've been a problem. Or, if there was, it would've been people wondering why they didn't plow the extra money they got into production, or where the "extra" money went if it was all soaked up by expenses they hadn't anticipated so the backers only got what was promised to be in a $100,000 fan film for $500,000.
 
Well, happy new year!

The project has been changed. It is now a Mork & Mindy Fan Film called "Exidor"...

I would watch this.

I think they just stopped replying to me, as I've received no responses at all for some time. :lol:

I'd watch this too, just for the out-takes, the actor had a lot of fun playing this character on Mork & Mindy, one of the few people who got Robin Williams to crack up.
 
Whoa. This thread exploded. It doubled in size in 12 hours. So am I to surmise that Axanar is further deluding themselves and their followers that they are still "moving forward" and will "begin production in February?"

Any word yet on whether this will affect other productions?

This.

IIRC, Axanar was originally going to film in Oklahoma, and then later, that was changed to Fort Ti. After they got all that money, they suddenly were going to build sets and set up a studio in California.

As the Mythbusters used to say, "There's yer problem right there."

Happy New Year... Still a member of the Fb group... think it might have something to do with me telling Alec to shut up and actually admit he's wrong

I feel like I've been censored and sent to the Axanar gulags.
