News? Stories from Dubious Sources

That's an incredibly shortsighted idea. Or do you think humans should be manually building cars with hammers, instead of letting machines do it?

On topic: I heard that Kurtzman broke TWELVE IMAX SCREENS when he was fired and replaced with Matalas and Section 31 was replaced with Legacy without any of the actors noticing when filming started!
I just mean in creative spaces, art, music, digital FX
 
Agreed.

People push tech forward with no clear view of possible consequences.

Irresponsible to just say blindly accept it. No, I will not.

I'm not saying blindly accept it. As it's pretty much inevitable whatever we do, we at least have a choice in the end result.

Do you want to live in a world where you have to work less (and subsequent generations maybe not at all) whilst enjoying a decent standard of living ?

The other option, if we allow it, could well be Mad Max with a privileged elite controlling resources.

No is not an option. You can't bury your head in the sand.

In some ways, yes. In other ways, no. And AI would not change my current workload.

No is absolutely an option. No I won't buy it. No, I won't use it. No, I won't contribute financially to it.

The long and short of it is Star Trek Legacy IS happening, that a deal has been signed with Amazon to pay for 30% of the costs, in exchange for rights to air it outside of the US, and that season 1 will air in late 2025 BEFORE the Picard/TNG movie, which ties into it, which should air in early 2026.

He doesn't count this as rumour, its straight up fact according him and will be announced some time in the early summer this year. Its supposed to be a really big event.

I'll remind folks hos contact in Paramount is so good he knew about the WB Paramount merger talks before anyone else.

Fan sites have broken stuff before (it was a fan site who broke the Disco S5 premiere date).

It's not outside the realm of possibility.

They held onto Picard S3 and it's still on there. I don't think LD is on Amazon anymore though.
Amazon originally had the rights to Picard internationally. Since Paramount knew that Picard was only going to be three seasons total, (because that's what Patrick Stewart signed and agreed to do), Paramount didn't think it worth buying back the International streaming rights like they did for Star Trek Discovery seasons 4 and 5 from Netflix.

So yeah whatever streaming rights contract Amazon had for Picard; that contract is still 100% in place. I know from experience since I have Amazon Prime in the US; if I wanted to watch Picard on Amazon Prime, I'd have to have I'd have to use my existing Paramount+ subscription and log into it from the Amazon interface, or I could just watch it directly on Paramount+.:shrug:

So yeah Picard is only on Amazon exclusively outside of the US and Canada.
 
While not really a dubious source, nothing's likely to come of it, so I'll post here anyway.

Paramount is once again claiming a fourth Kelvin timeline movie is happening.
Interesting that this is coming from Trevor Roth of Roddenberry Entertainment. Roth and Rod have been EPs on each of the shows, but they've never been credited for the films. If he's not just speculating it's interesting that he's in the loop.

Though Kurtzman has generally been the bridge between the shows and movies (other than Beyond) in recent years, so maybe that's where he's getting his news?
 
We've played this game before...
