CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar

[BillJ]

This is CBS reclaiming what was theirs all along.

But Star Trek belongs to the fans! Lord Garth said so himself!

Production Halted?
Did Axanar's director just let slip that production is on hold until the lawsuit is resolved?


Director Robert Burnett says Axanar has to wait.
Under pressure from an impending injunction in its copyright infringement lawsuit, production on the Star Trek film, Axanar, has come to a halt, its director said Friday. Read more »

Well, the stipulation allowing an extension of time to answer specifically says there can be no shooting or filming (pre-production and other ancillary activities are not specified).

Well, the stipulation allowing an extension of time to answer specifically says there can be no shooting or filming (pre-production and other ancillary activities are not specified).

He's going further than that, though, jespah. He's talking about "all production" until the lawsuit "is resolved." The stipulation expires on Monday, and resolution, short of a surprise settlement, is much farther off. Given his other post later in the same thread, RMB sounds downright dour about Axanar's chances.

Maybe he's finally seen the light?

Here's how the filing describes the extension:

"Defendants have agreed that no shooting or filming of the motion picture entitled Axanar will commence or continue through the date of the extension." [emphasis added]​

Making a five-minute fan film for an official contest is somewhat different than what Axanar was trying to do.

Well, now there's something to blame when the backers don't get what they paid for.

(not that they needed convincing)

Looks like Peters Mama taught him to steal everything, if he was going to steal anything at all!

What was RMB's other post?

You're absolutely right. Thanks!

What was RMB's other post?

I believe this is the piece that's being referred to:

In another post on the same thread, Burnett also expressed some doubt about Axanar's production prospects, given the lawsuit:

The sad part is, Axanar does not currently exist. For now, it's just an idea. I think a good idea, but an idea which might never be realized, and that's a damn shame.

Robert Meyer Burnett is comparing Axanar to The Revenant. If this is not enough proof that the mother-frakker has lost his mind then I don't know what is.

I have no doubt Peters had hoped to take Axanar 60 million over budget. Some of it may even have been spent on Axanar.

are they accurately transcribing the intellectual content of your argument and openly reflecting upon it, or are they just tweezing bits of phrases massaging their sense of victimhood over actions they alone are soley responsible for supporting?

Alec Peters wants to make a professional Star Wars fan film. You heard it here first.

What's it going to take to pop Lord Garth's ego (and that of his mindless minions) ??
