CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar

If Alec Peters and Co. are the epitome of infallible creative genius they think themselves to be, why didn't they create their own science fiction universe? They could copyright and trademark their own intellectual property to their hearts content building their starry-eyed master plan Hollywood Amazon/Netflix type media empire.

Oh wait, that would take originality, work, and honesty. Never mind.

The House of Kharn coffee wouldn't be as sweet then.
 

Not to derail thread but - I wonder is C/P is taking Lucasfilm's recent lead on loading the new project with "respected names from the past" to add credibility with fans who felt the respective franchise had drifted from the "good old days".

Back on topic:

"Roddenberry served as a consulting producer on the fan-produced Star Trek: New Voyages series released online between 2003 and 2011."

Hmm. A person who worked in fan films and got picked to play in the "big leagues". I bet that's gotta sting some other people who were hoping the same for themselves :whistle:
 
I can not find an image of him

He's on the far right (tall guy w/white hair)

Thing is, supposedly the first what, 90 seconds of ST2009, until the singularity opens, takes place in the Prime Timeline, and when the Narada emerges, that's where the split begins, and the destruction of the Kelvin, which never happened in the Prime Timeline, seals the deal so to speak and the New Timeline begins.

All Lord Alec & co (Tobias Richter I'm assuming....) did was expand upon things based off the Kelvin's design/aesthetics (which could still be considered infringing I'm sure).............(they could've gone an alternate route and used the Baton Rouge class and other old school/FASA designs which would've made for some interesting VFX......)

I bet that is what they intended
 
When I was in college, I worked at an amusement park. One of the supervisors was a Trek fan, but also one of the nastiest, most vile people you'd ever want to meet. He was the kind of guy that would wait until you were done something then go and mess it up just so he could giggle as you had to do it again. I even started a petition to have him removed. As much the irritant as the guy was, I'd never say he wasn't a fan. While some people may take exception to his personality, myself included, I don't know that you can say Alec Peters isn't a fan, either. If, in fact, he isn't, he spends an awful lot of time connected to something he doesn't like.

I think Alec Peters definitely is a fan. I do believe that somewhere deep inside all of this, Peters really is doing this because he's a fan.
 
Just when you thought you'd seen everything....:cardie:

That's my take - Give them a paycheck and a title on the new Star Trek series and they won't come out publicly saying: "This new series is NOT what Gene Roddenberry would have done...he's turning over in his Grave..."et al. :angel:;)

I'm sure the Axanar Marinenes will be there to provide security. Just think of the news headlines if a fight breaks out...No I'm not hoping for violence, but for the press it would be glorious!

Wow - I am amazed that Axanar's legal team is letting this happen. (Of course maybe they DID raise an objection and Mr. Peters blew them off.) I have a feeling once W&S lose big to C/P (or make a settlement that Mr. peters in the end accepts but isn't really happy with because I see NO CHANCE for any settlement that will allow the Axanar feature film to be produced as anything related to 'Star Trek'); we'll see Mr. Alec 'lawyer by training' Peters either badmouthing or threatening to sue W&S for "incompetent representation."

One really wonders what W&S REALLY think of Mr. Alec Peters at this point.
 
This would be really mean and nasty, but we could put it out that Alec supports same sax marraige and then let the Westboro Baptist Church know...

These idiots know no bounds I guess. Given how Fender erased most mention of those 'novels' from his own website, I'm surprised he'd flaunt his involvement.......(when in rome I guess...?)

If they know about everything that has been going on with this project and took it on anyway, they are likely as slimy as Peters.
