His contract is for 5 years (and $25m). It's about whether the people above him choose to renew it at that time or not. With Rick Berman, Paramount (at the time) waited out his contract and kept cancelling his projects (like Romulan War movie The Beginning) before handing the reigns over to JJ Abrams.
Personally, if someone offered me $25m I'd take it over and over, and eventually I'd be developing concepts that make Space Hitler Georgiou the Section 31 Cannibal's Adventures seem amazing.
Yep. I would definitely treat the property differently as a producer making money off of it vs. being a fan.
ORLY?Dude, ten years before Kirk puts the technology in the Pike Era, so unless there's a couple of Talosians in the crew hell yes holograms are wrong. And I notice you don't mention the giant bay windows in the underslung bridge instead of a proper viewer in a cockpit-style control room, uniforms that might have existed before Pike but certainly couldn't be standard after ward..and oh yeah, the totally bald Klingons with the sadistic Christmas tree armor.
But dey got phasers and warp drive. Oh yeah, dat's totally prime timeline...
From TOS - Return of the Archons (Kirk looking at the Hologram of Landru):
^^^
Please note that Kirk isn't amazed by said Hologram - he's amazed it's projected with no apparatus at the site Kirk's at.
Thus if the aperatus exists (which it DID on the U.S.S. Shenzhou); the Federation HAS the technology to produce Hiolograms. It's nothing new in the 23rd century in Kirk or Pike's era.
Berman a crteator? Hahhahahaha! You do know why Berman was hired, right? He was hired to reign in GR's habit of going WAY over budget and to make sure GR followed Paramount edicts for TNG. They didn't want a repeat of the ST:TMP budget fiasco (at the time GR ran so far over budget on ST:TMP it was the most expensive Hollywood film produced up to 1979.
Alex Kurtzman is the exact same type as Berman WRT how he opertes productions and probably that's one on the reasons he was hired.
Plus they had holograms on the NX-01. Very primitive, and the projectors were pretty big, but they had them.

ST:TMP's budget overrun wasn't entirely Roddenberry's fault, the first round of SpFx were so bad (even for the TV version first planned) that they had to pay Trumbull a whole bunch extra to completely redo them.
Add to that the fact that Paramount completely insisted on keeping the '79 Xmas release date even though things were going very badly and were well behind schedule by the time Trumbull came on board.
He and his crew had to work at times, almost 24 hours a day/7 days a week, to complete the minimal amount of what was was required by the ever changing script (another reason the cost kept going up), and some of that was Gene's fault.
Yippee skippee. Still ain't watchn' STD. Agreed to disagree about three or four pages ago. You can have it and go with God.
Love the fact you won't watch it, but love to discuss it. This IS the Discovery Forum right?
Yup. Holograms and projections of the sort were still a part of the universe. Just limits in production values of the times. Which, let's be honest here, are difficult to honor in the 2010s production era.
I don't understand those kind of people.
And you realize I only come back here when one of you responds to one of my posts, right? Here's a thought: don't do that.
"I'm not programmed to respond in that area."
I shall
we all have our hobbies
now if y'all excuse me, I need to go to a meeting of the "People Who Have Never Read a Word of Proust But Have Suprisingly Detailed Thoughts About It Society" Annual Banquet and all that.
Took a serious dive, didn't it? Confidence gotta be low...
How about that market?
Self-control is a great trait to have
