CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar 2 - Electric Boogaloo-Fanboys gone WILD-too many hyphens

[Krandor]

It ends as you might expect.... with a whimper and a "huh? Why? Is that all?"

Followed by "why did I spend 5 minutes reading that? I feel cheated"

 

[Krandor]

I think there are probably thousands of stories about a conflict that had a scene that pretty much plays out like.
You'd think after all the bragging Johnathan could have come up with something that hadn't been done a thousand times before.
Hell, I'm playing The Witcher III and even it has a scene with one hero sacrificing himself so another character can get away from the bad guys.

Yeah but I bet that hero sacrifice scene wasn't the WHOLE story.

And for only $20k you too can get this comic turned into a fan film.

If this really is the whole script for the whole movie, one other big issue just dawned on me, we aren't given a reason to give a shit about any of the character. There's no real development or anything, we're pretty much just dumped right into the action with no reason to care about the people involved.
I've recently started watching Steven Universe, and Adventure Time and both of those shows prove that if you know what you are doing you can actually squeeze a surprising amount of character development into 10-15 minute stories.

Someone should post that on Lane's page

I'm still dubious that's the ending. There's no END balloon or anything.

Yes but the last frame jumps to Prelude to Axanar timeframe with the Garth interview........I am hoping they don't try the "Saving Private Ryan" dissolve that is hinted at in the comic with Garth in the same pose in the last two frames. Especially since the other ship just pulled a "Captain Miller" by saving the Ares.

FanFIlmFactor has an article on the music for the Interlude scene:

Page 5 of Interlude has been officially published. The post also mentions there will be some differences between film script and comic:

Let’s hope so...

Yeah, the comic probably has HIGHER production value...

 

[JD]

Yeah, once the short is done, we'll probably end up wishing he'd just left it as the comic.

On what planet do you expect these numbnuts to get a little detail like THAT right?

There is this slightly worrying line at the top of the blog post:

Another week, another $700 for the ol’ GoFundMe campaign for INTERLUDE.We’re just about half-way, and at this rate, we’ll make it to our $19,500 goal by mid-October. But we don’t have until mid-October—more on that situation at the end of this coming week.

I'm not worried at all........and his promise of refunds, don't hold your breath.

I nominate this as post of the year...........

From AxaMonitor Daily:

• Cease & desist! Alec Peters enlists a Nevada lawyer to shut down AxaMonitor. This follows the serious allegations of Peters’ treatment of the widow of Emmy-winning Trek VFX artist Gary Hutzel in our story about the sale of Hutzel’s Enterprise model from DS9’s classic, “Trials and Tribble-ations.” Read Peters’ allegations against AxaMonitor in the copy of the letter in AxaMonitor Daily.
• Want a little primer on libel law, since Peters is warning AxaMonitor we could be sued for defamation?
• Wondering whether Peters ever repaid the $18,000 he owes his former trusted counselor, Axanar PR director Mike Bawden, by June 30, as he promised. We wonder, too, since any settlement in Peters’ legal dispute with former Axanar director Robert Meyer Burnett apparently hinged on Bawden forgiving Peters’ debt. How realistic was that expectation?
• A date’s been set for the auction of the collection of the defunct Trekcetera Museum in Drumheller, Alberta. Peters’ company, Propworx (the same that dealt with Mrs. Hutzel) is handling the online auction. What are the two schemes Peters has in mind for his earnings from that auction?

Short Takes

• The Federal’s been burgled!
• How long’s it likely to take for Axanar surrogate Jonathan Lane to complete the $19,500 crowdfunding campaign for the Axanar fan film, “Interlude”? The stalwart writer of the MTM blog explores some possible scenarios.

Beautiful. LFIM delivers a C&D intended to shut you up, you turn around and write a story on it.

The hero we need and deserve.

 

[JD]

Is there a specific reason he keeps picking lawyers who aren't actually in the same state as the people he's suing?

 

[carlosp]

My guess: Money. The Atlanta firm includes his longtime personal attorney who probably got him a rate, plus it seemed like they did minimal (and shoddy) work on that case. In Nevada, he's using the same attorney he currently has on retainer in the Enterprise-E model lawsuit with Hero Prop.

Also, I understand he's putting up some of his prop collection for sale. That's a likely sign he needs money.
