I think Enterprise already did.

Two 15 minute parts. I already have the outline idea for how to do it. We're going to be Jummpin' time, certain events told in snippets. I actually almost have the outline done.
I was thinking about that, who would serve me first with a C&D, AP or CBS.Do you think Peters might try and stop someone because of trademark infringement?
Well, as long as you are within the guidelines, it shouldn't be CBS.
Though, they haven't said anything about titles... Which aren't copyrightable. But, to a degree, trademark able.
Hm. I suspect they wouldn't shut me down if if I did Kirk: A Star Trek Fanfilm.
So, yeah, Peters would be the first to send you one. #Hypocrisy.
David Gerrold & Richard Hatch I could care less about.............I think I might've just lost respect for JG Hertzler though........ (#wakeup man!)
I'm sure the only thing he believes in where Axanar is concerned is the paycheck.

My god, Hertzler, this is a fan film that's been lining the pockets of the corrupt man behind it, not a religious or political movement. What a blowhard.
"Might've"? Yeah, I lost respect for him the other several times he publicly threw his weight behind the project (and, implicitly, against the studio hands that fed him and gave him the sole reason he is still able to charge for a signature at conventions.)
(No undue offense intended - but, let's face it - the cast of Axanar is, by and large, composed of people who networked with each other during slow periods at their autograph tables in the hopes of having a real, paying acting job to tide them over between conventions.)

Yeah, unlike Hatch or Gerrold (who are pretty well washed up at this point), I was inclined to give Hertzler the benefit of the doubt (by virtue of his being more actively involved in Trek)............but if things have come this far and this is still the line he's going to tow, then I'll be just as inclined to toss him in with the rest of those arrogant nutjobs.
I am, would welcome a co-writer if you have any available time.
There was also a title change, to represent how the story will flow. I'm also contemplating, The Story of Axanar but then that sounds like making a film about the mess that's going on.
Did J.G. Hertzler stop taking his meds?
Translation:I can't help but think a lot of this could've been avoided if this shyster actually held down an honest job (instead of concocting this wildly elaborate scheme to fund his personal fantasy)...............

All kidding aside, it's clear now Alec Peters is somehow deluded enough that he thinks he'll get a settlement that allows him to basically keep everything and do what he wants - and I truly believe he's trying to play the "JJ Abrams said..." card and getting nowhere. C/P are going to stay on good terms with JJ Abrams/Bad Robot - because I'm sure even Mr. Abrams believed Alec Peters was reasonable and would accept a reasonable settlement - which it's pretty clear by Alec Peters Facebook post, he won't. Result: Paramount will go to JJ Abrams/Justin Lin and say "Hey, we really tried to settle as we told you we would; but this guy is a lunatic..."
So, yeah, the case will probably go to Trial in January - and Alec Peters will experience what receiving a real punitive judgment from a Jury is like. Alec peters is probably convinced he can get a Jury to find for him; but that isn't going to happen in this case.
Yes, even after having a big name creative team go to bat to get C/P to offer settlement terms; Alec peters is (like Slim Pickens in Dr. Strangelove) going to ride this thing out, and get Nuked in the end. What a complete idiot.
On the plus side, we'll still be here, discussing the case til then
Wonder if we'll reach page 5000 by then?

"Come on guys, Alec Peters agreed to my appearance fee. I'm retired and NEED the money..."
I just lost a lot of respect for Mr. J.G. Hertzler as well.
We will need lots and lots of pie!Wonder if we'll reach page 5000 by then?
That would imply that Peters was a hero at some point in history.
Not buying it.

Oh for the love of.. Please, just no. Don't go there. I have a hard enough time keeping up around here without people deliberately inflating the page count.
