My money is on MOON KNIGHT hitting TV first. And, yes, I can't wait.
But since when was TRON "a proven in-house franchise"? I know it has a following, but . . . .
News They can't use stuff from ANY Trek movie!

It made a profit on both movies, just not Disney level profits. A more struggling studio probably would have been happy with the returns. Tron had tie in games (a given), tie-in animated series, and a fanbase that waited decades for a return, and is waiting once again. I'd say it counts.My money is on MOON KNIGHT hitting TV first.

Agree with you on Moon Knight

Oz is another series Disney has attempted a couple of times now. They may try again (anyone can, most of the books are in public domain) .
Wasn't the animated series a ratings flop, though? It only got one season (though it was arguably better than the movie it was a prequel to).
Oz. All I can think of is the 1997-2003 HBO Series by Tom Fontana that takes place in a maximum security prison. Definitely not the type of show Disney would make...
Two films, a cartoon series, three recentish video games, and I think a book. Soundtrack spinoff album too.
Edit. Oops. Someone beat me to it.
"Return"? What are you trying to say?
But, anyway, on a more serious note, I'd definitely much rather visit L. Frank Buam's Oz than Tom Fontana's where I'd have "girlfriend" written all over me.
Shifting back to movie stuff in DSC, though... Half-built Space Dock!

Yup. A,azo get to think the EMH was in beta for so long....
Oh. The giant mushroom...
Uh...thats a pretty weird construct. Would be interesting if it would hold without any problems if contested. If it were that easy anybody could just write "I`m the author of this under british law" under anything.
I'm sure the credit is merely the public expression of something that's more precisely defined in the actual contracts and legalese. Most every credit you see onscreen in a movie or TV show represents many pages of paperwork between the studio and the party being credited.
I said this a while ago, and it's nice to finally get a confirmation of it. Basically: the whole reason why they gave the "This is in the prime universe" spiel was because Paramount still retains the rights to the films, which includes the Kelvinverse movies, and CBS did not retain the rights to those films in the Viacom split. Put another way: CBS Studios as it exists today is what USED TO BE Paramount Broadcasting which was, in turn, a property of Paramount Pictures.
If Paramount were to start up its own TV broadcasting company, they could probably create their own version of Star Trek and CBS would have to sue them to try and get exclusive rights. And ironically, they would probably lose. Instead, the two studios are sort of respecting each other's turf here and not making a fuss over it, since neither of them really want to waste energy in a costly and complicated legal battle.
What I privately suspect is going to eventually happen is that CBS and Paramount will end up merging anyway or forging some sort of rights-sharing agreement that actually determines the status of the property, at which point the Discoverse and the Kelvinverse will simply be merged and the timeline differences explained away by somewhat unconvincing retcons.
CBS does have rights to use material in the first 10 films. These films are also licenced though CBS Home Entertainment (DVD's Blu-rays etc..) that is controlled by CBS. Both companies sort of joint custody of the material from the first 10 films. It only the Abrams films that have different rights issues for the reasons I explained above. If CBS wants to use stuff from Abrams they have to also seek Bad Robots approval as well.
Not really. Alex Kurtzman was pretty vague on this topic. This one is pretty straight forward, and coming from someone who is more in the day-to-day business of the show than Kurtzman was (he was directing the Mummy and creating the Universal monster universe at the time).
In terms of who's more believable, because she's more directly involved, I tend to go with Erika Lippoldt. But it's a personal judgement call. We don't really know, until we get confirmation for either from an additional source.
Of course they can use stuff from the movies. If we want to see a adventure with Captain Robu on the USS Kellven they just have to write it. Same thing with Romulen Captan Nearo. Admiral Markis can give orders to the Discovery if needed. No reason he can't be a high ranking Admiral in Starflit

Isn't Ed Mercer a captain in Starflit?
Only in a alternate universe were people spell things differently and we saw him in that old video wearing a Starflit uniform commanding a ship with a Spock and Uhura that have had their minds transplanted also into new looking teenage bodies.
Jason
Nah, that was Spock's first Captain, before Pike.... straight out of the academy, the both of them!
