Both of which had clips in the new trailer for some reason.........if you take out the space scenes there might be, maybe, 10 seconds of footage?
CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar 2 - Electric Boogaloo-Fanboys gone WILD-too many hyphens
- Thread starter jespah
- Start date
I'm bickering with fanboys on facebook right now about it, smh.
fb person: I keep hearing people call axanar folks thieves. Most of the time ive seen it i was from kurtzman or jj fanboys.
Whats up? He ran a kickstarter and would have deluvered if you know cbs hadnt sued him.
Me: Squandered a million dollars.... built a for-profit studio instead of making the movie.... never filmed *anything* ... was selling models... star trek coffee... all sorts of unauthorized merchandise.... he had wasted years before CBS stepped in. Snake oil salesman to the fullest - all the people that made Prelude had already left his ass before any of this happened. The best thing he could have done was continue to make cheap, awesome documentaries for Federation TV - it was unique and cheap and he could have made them forever, any time period he wanted, any famous Trek actor he could get, any space battles he wanted..... what a waste....
Fb person: Sources?
Fb person 2: His sources are most likely the little crew of butthurt whiners that still can’t accept the fact that CBS let Axanar continue and keep trying desperately to hope people will listen to them.
Me: Its literally what happened.... lmao.... anyone who followed the story for years (hoping that he was legit, patiently waiting, watching the updates and fb groups and websites and message board) knows this. Axanar was "allowed" to continue just like every other neutered fanfilm outfit was "allowed" to - with so many restrictions its barely worth it.
Fb person: All ive seen was stuff on youtube...
Fb person: If you are talking about the fact that peters used professional actors etc then that was an issue decided in litigation. I haven’t seen proof that peters lacks intention to deliver on what his kickstarter project promised
facepalm.
Peters still has people completely hoodwinked.
Yup. Regardless of Peters and his shit, I adore the Ares. Its the one good thing to come out of the debacle.
There seem to be a lot of new VFX shots in this trailer - at least, shots I don't recall seeing in previous distributions. Did he manage to get Tobias Richter back or has someone taken up the mantle? They're quite good.
Truth.
In the blog post about the trailer on FanFilmFactor it states:

Why release if not ready?

Braver poster than I.
The level of delusion around Peters is so frustrating and I work with people with mental health diagnoses!
I agree on this point.
No..most of the new SFX footage is stuff Robert Meyer Burnett had gotten (for editing) - and kept a copy of. Robert Meyer Burnett had returned the hard drives with the footage to Alec; but somehow, Alec lost them, and then started claiming Robert Meyer Burnett never gave them back, etc.
Alec asked for copies of what Robert Meyer Burnett had - but Robert stuck to his guns about claiming he gave the original Hard disks back; and if Alec wanted copies again, Burnett wanted the money Alec agreed to pay him, but never did, etc.
Then they went back and forth listing what they claimed each other had, what was owed; and Alec filed a lawsuit (in the wrong county) and Burnett got a lawyer who started trying to correspond with Alec's lawyer, but got no reply - even after posting some of the correspondence sent and Alec trying to get Johnathan Lane directly involved, which went nowhere fast...
Here's a link to where RMB showed some of the footage and discuseed the Axanar situation:

And here's some fairly completed shots:
https://theburnettwork.net/a-look-behind-axanars-klingon-battle-scenes/
So yeah, either they came to some sort of agreement or hell maybe Alec downloaded the video file RMB made available for direct download in the article and Alec used the SFX footage from that file for his really short new trailer.
Ah... Never a dull moment in Axanar land, is there? Well, thanks for clearing that up! 
The USS Ares looks like the USS Voyager and the USS Ptolemy (Franz Joseph tug) had a love child. Too ugly to be called fugly, just ugly. YMMV.
I dunno... The Ares is one of the few things I like about any of it anymore. Granted, it does seem a tad-bit anachronistic with some of its TMP-era components, but I think Sean Tourangeau did a reasonably good job with the design overall. There are only so many ways to make new and original designs these days with the same modules that haven’t been seen before. At least it’s got period-correct round nacelles! 
Mentioned here that the coronavirus has delayed the Axanar shoot till May:

In fairness, I don't think we can ascribe any conspiracy theories to this one.

Just because LFIM didn't plan and implement the situation doesn't mean he doesn't benefit from it. Any delay for any reason is useful to him.
I didn't know he needed a reason to delay.
He doesn't. A bonafide national crisis, however, makes it legitimate.
