    I suspect you're right. The reuse of a ship class is the kind of granularity that CBS probably isn't interested in pursuing. And it also throws a lifeline to fans who've spent considerable $ to create a set and then be told they can only use it twice.

    I'm surprised someone who worked on real trek (that 1st AD he mentioned from Voyager and Enterprise) is stupid enough to get involved with LFIM and his CF...........(after Sean Tourangeau was declared persona non grata)

    I thought fan films were no longer allowed to use anybody with experience working on the shows or movies?

    Axanar was granted a few exceptions to the guidelines, thanks to their out of court settlement with CBS

    Even still. Using Tourangeau as an example, I would think that being unofficially blackballed like that would be incentive enough to stay away from Alec and this mess.

    Quite so. And the roster of industry professionals they are allowed to use is limited to those who were already involved in Prelude To Axanar and the so-called "Vulcan scene"

    They can only use the professionals and actors who worked on "Prelude To AXANAR" .

    They couldn't add any further professionals to the cast or the crew.

    Part 2 : Still Going... and going... and going... and going... and going... and going... and going... and going... and going...
    Will this one also reach 1701 pages ? Any bets on if it will ? Possibly the safest bet one can make for this ;-)
    Anyway... Still 30 days out... right ? Still waiting on that MOVIE, Alac... What's the hold up THIS time ?

    Didn't you read the post above? He was busy settling a lawsuit. I'd bet the terms were not in his favor.

    I've been lurking on this topic since it was in its original form but can't remember this one. What was the Armstrong lawsuit?

    Huh... That's troubling. Now everyone in his filming crew will need to be tested and/or treated and the sets all sterilized. That's lots more money - queue a new crowdfund.

    Hooray for re-opened "night clubs."

    This thing might end up finally getting funded.

    ETA: J-Lane's "report" on Alec's illness and recovery was cringey beyond belief.
    Dude has some serious unrequited feelings for Alec.

    Gary Graham has officially left the project. Actually did around Christmas, but since Alec didn’t say anything Gary announced on his Facebook.
