So... where can I watch that American Gods then?

Collider: "After talking to Bryan Fuller tonight about Star Trek I'm so so so angry at CBS..."
- Thread starter Shalashaska

Eh, if he wanted to do something so different with Trek (which his explanation for why he went with American Gods instead kind of hinted at), I'm glad he's not in charge. Its like when Edgar Wright left Ant-Man and we still got a great (and possibly better) movie. That said, its also totally possibly that CBS is screwing things up, but at this point I'm still excited and keeping an open mind, and I don't consider Fuller not being in charge to be a big deal.
I'm sure we don't know all the details, but ultimately Fuller did not deliver in a timely manner. Most employees or managers would be removed from their position. I think they gave him an ultimatum and he left. It seems that he set them back so far by dividing his time, that filming may have been delayed yet again..February now??
Yeah glad Fuller got off the pot. In the sense that the current creative forces can move ahead and produce whatever product they're gonna produce. Would rather have had Fuller stay, given his professed love of Star Trek, but better to cut the cord than tap around in the dark.
I suppose we have to wait and see the impact on his leaving?
As the military saying goes, "hurry up and wait"....
As far as 'Star Trek' goes - I never cared for Voyager <--- And that was the show Fuller worked on - so yeah, IMO - not a loss.
There are billions of people on this planet. So why is it that creatives in Hollywood are so chronically overbooked that they can't stay on one show long enough to launch it? I ultimately think it's Fuller's mistake for trying to juggle too much at once. Pick a project and have the guts to let others go so you can finish it properly. I mean jeez, some people in Hollywood seem to chase work like they are juggling multiple minimum wage jobs. I can't imagine he has to keep this busy just to make enough money to pay his bills.
I think there's more to it than just a simple scheduling issue. The editor-in-chief of Collider wouldn't be "so so so angry at CBS" because Fuller had too much on his hands.
That's like saying you wouldn't hire David Fincher today because he directed Alien 3.
No, it's like saying I wouldn't want to hire David Fincher to direct another 'Alien' franchise film because I didn't like the way he directed Alien III.
Pretty quickly after RMB posted it to Facebook and tagged Fuller. His post also has now been deleted. Axanar however posted it proudly on their Facebook page.
My point is that there's so many different other aspects going into things like this. Fincher has disowned that project and Fuller has talked quite negatively about his experience on VOY since then, both were young directors/writers in a system that pulled no punches towards newcomers.
It's not as simple as just looking at the names attached to it.
Who's RMB?
RMB is Robert Meyer Burnett, a frequent Collider collaborator, and was to be the director of the Axanar feature. This tweet looks to me to be nothing more than this guy looking to stir shit, and cast CBS in a negative light for his buddy who was out of a job after the lawsuit hit.
Yeah, but he's the guy who wrote Fair Haven and Spirit Folk. And Fury. And Friendship One.
And Empok Nor and Darkness and Light, two of the worst DS9 episodes.
He wrote a handful of good episodes too, but I'm not sad that the person who loved holodeck malfunctions and weird forced horror movie aesthetics isn't in control of the future of Star Trek.
