CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar

Status
Not open for further replies.
I hate to go all proofreader on you, but is it Star Trek: A Bad Production or Star Trek: The Bad Production? I like the soundtrack. Visuals were kinda skimpy though.
Glad you love the soundtrack... Visuals on this one were a little skimpy, I admit, but its called a teaser for a reason
Including you and me, I presume.
Indeed
Excellent. Do you run a range of coffee?
A small range, yes, but not as big as our range of tea
Clearly this is better than anything Paramount, CBS, or J.J. Abrahams has ever produced.
Wow - I'm pleased that you think so
And the award for the best Captain's log goes to..
Drum roll please ..........
Ark Royal
Star Trek: A Bad Production


Oh my god, thanks...

I would like to thank my manager, my agent, my legal team, the graphic designers, the model makers, the make up team, the director, the producer, TrekBBS, the floor sweepers, all the extras that made up the numbers in the trailer... Everybody who helped to make the trailer such a success!

Star Trek: A Bad Production will hit cinemas up and down the country in a couple of months

Have you settled on a director for the blu-ray extras?
 
They're getting bought out by Paramount to form a new division to make Star Trek anthology movies à la Star Wars - a matching theme to the CBS anthology plans for the new TV series.
No offense to the NV or the STC people but even if their stuff is fun it doesn't come off professional to me like they could make a real TV show. I tried to watch a few episodes and they're really hard to sit through. NV comes over over complicated and STC comes off too simplistic (and a little like TNG with a TOS coat on). Just my opinion. Those two fan shows seem to be the best and if they were on real TV they'd be laughed at quickly by the general audience and cancelled I think.

I don't think STC would be laughed at by a 1967 audience, and they're purposefully filming in the style of that time period.

That said, CBS has spent exactly zero seconds entertaining the idea of working with NV or STC.
 
Well I watched Catspaw

Back to topic, Axanar have been spreading this blog post about: LINK
Newsweek article: LINK

My take on this blogger:

Anyone with two working brain cells who hasn't been drinking Lord Alec's kool-aid or eating his sushi should be able to see what C/P is trying to accomplish..

I particularly love the BS line "At least the folks involved with Axanar are trying to expand the Trek universe, not simply regurgitate nostalgia all over the screen."

Regurgitating nostalgia?? I'd say producing a piece of fan-wank based off a 35-year old RPG supplement pretty much fits that bill..........
 

The unbridled arrogance of Peters: calling out fan productions for not supporting these awards and stamping "Sponsored by Axanar" on the award plaques. While at the same time, scorching the Earth for these productions with their ass-saving legal defense.

As for the awards themselves, RENEGADES wasn't the best screenplay — it was an incoherent mess that makes your trashy SyFy TV movie look like French Nouveau.

"The White Iris" was a disappointment that really didn't reveal much about Kirk that we didn't already know and its plot was ridiculous.

And STARSHIP TRISTEN's short was two dudes having a rather boring Skype call. How is that deserving of Best Short Form? STARSHIP INTREPID's "Transposition," which was nominated, had an interesting premise and was shot ON LOCATION.

The only award I agree with is Todd Haborkorn winning Best Actor. His Spock is much better than Brandon Stacey's. Of course, it's not that hard to top considering the latter is robotic like Data, and not as nuanced as Spock in the original.

Well, not exactly zero seconds.

For the last season of Star Trek: Enterprise, they needed a "Sulu-scope" and they needed a green, captain's wraparound uniform to Scott Bakula's measurements and they approached us at Star Trek New Voyages. We sent them the Sulu-scope from our bridge set for their reproduction of the Defiant bridge in "In a Mirror, Darkly," and James was able to produce and send them the wraparound that Scott Bakula wore in the episode.

But our collaboration with CBS on such things is admittedly minor.
 
"Haters. The worst kind, really. Hating with their Hate. At our Campaign Headquarters Studio, just the best facility, really, the best people and I have met and seen the people, we have good carpet made by real Americans...from America the best country, really because I know it and been in it for a while just the best country except the haters and their hate."

"And, they changed the rules, the creating and fundraising rules, the Haters did, really, because I talked to them before and no problem with our Plan, good plan really just the best plan with the best people paid because we pay here in America but the haters want it all for free, no money for the workers who work hard I know because I have seen them and ordered them around and paid them like we do...America, just the best paid workers..."
Wait, Donald Trump is making a Trek film???
 
Does the subtitle "A Bad Production" imply that our contributions will be used, first and foremost, to build the plush executive offices for Bad Studios? Because I, for one, desperately hope so.

I, myself, am hoping there is a "Nebulae Level" donation amount that will yield a "Bad Ass" tattoo on my derrière! When will the "Donation" tab on the website be functional??? :D
 
Wait, Donald Trump is making a Trek film???

Yep. He is reprising/reduxing/regurgitating the roll of Commodore Decker in "The Doomesday Campaign"!

Don't Miss It!

Really!

I'm not even joking!

The best jokes...I've seen them...jokes.

That's a cool bit of trivia I didn't know. I should've been more specific; I don't think CBS has ever entertained the thought of hiring STC's or NV's creative teams to work on Star Trek projects. (I have no inside information on that. That's just my guess.)
 
This was really special to me:
It is a shame that the fan film community doesn’t support the Star Trek Fan Film Awards more.
.......................................................
I can say, that as always, [that production] leads the way in supporting other fan film projects and we sponsored the awards this year and had a presence at the event.
So special
