Oh, and there's always the added problem that CBS & Paramount could enjoin the use of the space until the trial is over. I'd hate to be a production that rented the space, only to find a court order locking the doors -- with my equipment inside.
CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar

Unless said client is a Peters owned or invested in company that's renting the space from Axanar
A 56 year old man living on fan donations, playing dress up of a one off character from 50 years ago, throwing a massive temper-tantrum when he got told he can't steal from other people.
yeah pretty much - when you have a defendant file TWO replies that basically just repeat themselves - and as they coordinate with the Judge and the court - it's pretty clear W&S realize the case isn't getting dismissed (although some issues MIGHT get excluded); and it's time to prep for discovery OR hope that a miracle happens and they can work out some sort of settlement at the ADR hearing...<---- Although given Mr. Peters attitude toward the whole situation so far, I'm pretty sure any real offer made by C/P will be unpalatable in some regard and he won't accept anything that doesn't allow him to either make Axanar in some form and/or keep the financial gain he's experienced out of all this; and THAT kind of settlement offer WON'T be forthcoming from C/P.
Man, I don't think I realized how truly pathetic Alec is until that was all spelled out.
Renters are probably okay, assuming they aren't a part of the Ares/Axa/AP axis of mishigas.
If I'm some indie director, I don't know diddly about the case or the parties, and I need a place to film for a week, I am probably fine and I don't have to go nuts with my due diligence. All I really should care about is whether the place I'm briefly renting is (a) the lessor (or sublessor)'s to rent and (b ) whether the space/area is zoned for what I want to do. E. g. I don't want someone calling the cops at 2 AM, complaining of a noise violation, that sort of thing.
I misread that as "axis of migas" at first and thought, "That doesn't sound so bad. It sounds quite tasty, actually."
Then I reread it and was disappointed.
Now I'm disappointed, hungry, and migas-less.
The only thing I'd worry about is something with the lawsuit affecting the studio in a way that might interrupt filming. Not being a lawyer I don't know what that would be, but I'd still come up with a way to worry about it.
I can tell you this: pathological liars lie to their lawyers too.
BTW, did you hear that STC met their goal with the help of private donations?

So if the studio is like a money-draining albatross, and demand for studio space is low, do we suppose then that Axanar are doing 'special low rates' in a bid to get at least a small element of the cost back?
Or would it make them a profit? I mean, Axanar are only renting (what used to be) an empty warehouse. Now it's fully carpeted and green-screened, would the income of renting out a studio exceed the going cost of leasing a warehouse, if you see what I mean?
At least some of the sets were already partially built, IIRC the bridge was a work in progress at the time of the shutdown? Are they standing sets that needed to be struck to make room for the new production, or were they designed so that they could be dismantled and then re-assembled with ease?

Yeah, thats gotta please AP to no end.
It is written that good shall triumph over evil.Yeah, thats gotta please AP to no end.
Wasn't it established that the rented warehouse doesn't even have a sufficient power supply for all the equipment needed in a studio? So who would want to rent it from them for that purpose, if it can't actually be used properly?

It certainly seems like a lightning rod to turn a value-added month to month recurring profit atop the base rent. That could only be attributed to the improvements in part paid by studio IP, in part by sweat equity.

Probably enough that this thread is gonna need a spinoff - Son of Axa-Disaster.

P.S. I literally have no proof of this.
Even though Alec Peters let slip earlier today on Facebook about the studio rental, another post by him in the same thread added that the (coming shortly) formal announcement about the studio would also include something about the future of the 'Axanar' production.
I've updated the AxaMonitor article about the studio with this new information.
