ST3 Reportedly Being Filmed in Vancouver in 2016

TV - CBS Television Distribution, CBS Paramount Network Television/CBS Television Studios, CBS Corporation (2005 – present)
Viacom had purchased the CBS Corporation in 2000. They split in 2005. The old Viacom then became the CBS Corporation. Its holding Paramount Television became CBS Paramount Network Television. CBS Television Distribution formed soon after and took over distribution of past Star Trek shows. In 2009, CBS Paramount Network Television became CBS Television Studios; CBS Television Studios has production rights for new Trek series, though it has not (yet) produced any under that name.
Movies, DVDs - Paramount Pictures, Viacom (new) (2005 – present)
In the 2005 Viacom/CBS split, the old Viacom became the CBS Corporation and a new Viacom was created. This new company owns Paramount Pictures which owns the Trek films. Paramount Pictures produced Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness under license from CBS Television Studios. Paramount continues to also distribute DVDs of the TV series on behalf of CBS.

That's what I get for listening to too much Para Möbius Maneuvering and not reading my own links. ;)

I stand corrected.
 
It's better than Picard/Riker slash.

Nothing is better than Picard/Riker slash. Except possibly Data/Worf.

Trying to remember what a Slash is?

Homoerotic fan fiction. Basically you take two characters of the same gender, and have them involved in a passionate sex-filled relationship.

Meh.

I am a fan of Pulaski/Morn slash fiction. Makes for interesting reading.

Pulaski and Morn sounds like an interesting but since (I think) they're different genders, it's not really slash.

Basically CBS doesn't want to make Trek Movies and is happy to let Paramount make them though I did read somewhere that Paramount owns the Movie Rights to a large extent and that CBS basically just gets a cut of the Profit of the Movie and that is what the Licence Fee is...
 
I suspect that Paramount will back Lin's play because that's why they hired him - they have enough confidence in him to let him lead.

Which may have been the problem with Orci - Abrams may have pushed through some things that the studio heads were iffy about because they had confidence in him. Orci was an unknown and untested quantity, and when doubts arose about some aspect of the script or production he couldn't overcome any executive timidity.

So they left him as Producer cause of the Unknown factor? though he has done TV and other work? I guess we will not know tell Bob or Someone else talks abou it.

I imagine they're happy enough with his work as a producer - whatever that is.

It's not even necessarily a question of real conflict or bad feelings toward Orci (although it could just as well be; we don't know) - simply "This is iffy and we really don't know that this guy can pull it off. He's insisting on this story, so we have to part ways." Orci might have overplayed his hand there.


I could see that :) Orci pitching something and Paramount being like that sounds Great we are not sure you can carry it off so, we want Lin to Direct and now Pegg and Co to Improve on your Idea....

Responsibilities of a Movie Producer
A movie producer is the person responsible for making sure an appealing, high-quality movie is produced on time and within budget. That means supervising and packaging the project from conception to distribution to theaters, while interfacing with the studio and managing the work of hundreds of individuals [source: Full Sail].
As you can see, movie producers do indeed have to wear many hats during movie production. Starting at the beginning of the process, here are some of the main producer responsibilities:
Preproduction
Find material from a book or script.
Get the script into good enough shape to attract a director (and studio, if this is not a studio-initiated production).
Secure financing for the film, if it is not being made for a studio.
Choose the director and other parts of the creative team.
Cast the actors, working with the director.
Determine locations and budget.
Decide on cinematographer and special effects.
Hire a production team including crew and producers.
Develop a shooting schedule.
Create a detailed plan of action for production.
Production
Offer creative suggestions to the director.
Handle problems with actors or creative staff.
Monitor production timetable and budget.
Review video dailies, the film shot each day.
Postproduction
Discuss order and selection of scenes with the director.
Review the fine cut of the film after it is edited.
In some cases, polish, revise and restructure the film to create the final cut.
Work with a distributor to secure distribution for the film. This may include showing the distributors the final cut of the film.
Review the distributor's advertising campaign for the film.
 
Notice how Leslie's thread (where we were actually having a fairly civil conversation) is gone? I bowed out fairly early last night. Any idea why?

The admins there (a few of which I am suspicious are just Para's duals) do a lot of self-editing, usually when they get caught being exceptionally stupid.

Wouldn't surprise me.

It also appears as though Dennis has been banned. Or did you quit, Dennis? (ETA: Nevermind...)

Someone started a group on FB to capture some of the lunacy for posterity:

That's hilarious.

Banned. :lol:
 
I understand that Fred Archer's running around some Enterprise groups on FB telling people there's going to be a "HUGE announcement" next week. The folks who actually have some connection with CBS are supposedly already tired of his trolling. :lol:
 
I saw that. Something big on Friday. But it might be later. But definitely this financial quarter.

Probably.

I await with bated breath.

I edited my last post to add this upthread but just for your own bemusement... I give you...

The People v. Paramount and Bad Robot.

This group is created to gather evidence against the responsible CEO of primary PPC and secondary BRP by accusing them of pure profit making with the STAR TREK brand and abusing the principles and spirit the franchise stands for since its foundation in 1964.
Accusing them of pure profit making? Isn't that, y'know, their job? :wtf:

Not to throw fuel on their fire (because I know it will continue regardless) but GR was about profit too. Blasphemy, I know :rolleyes:
