The Kelvin Films are dead.
Whether or not J.J. Trek itself is dead is another matter entirely.
and they must shoot it with a budget not exceeding $100 million.
I've researched the topic. Making a fan-made film isn't a bad thing. But if you're doing it with people who already act in popular movies and TV series, and you're talking directly about character names and languages used in the franchise, fictional institutions like Starfield, or events from Star Trek's fictional history, you're not making a fan-made film anymore. You're stealing.
all the more reason to use the SNW sets, that will massively cut down the preproduction budget.
Not to mention spending nearly a million dollars of fan funding on anything but making the movie.
From the other thread:
Michael B Jordan as Tuvok, Pedro Pascal as Chakotay and Sidney Sweeney as Seven.
New film: opening shot: ship that looks legally and distinctly different than the U.S.S. Ares ("Star Trek: Axanar"), is blown to so many pieces it can't even be identified.

They’re not going to reboot Voyager.
I think you mean the USS Ares, from Axanar. And they don’t need to make the ship look legally different, because Axanar hasn’t got a legal leg to stand on seeing as how Star Trek isn’t their IP.
Right you are (corrected my post). Still needs to be blown up. Captain Peters and crew are all lost.

JJ style movie treatment. Too expensive for a series but maybe not for a sequel or two.
That was still anachronistic. Should have had dull bussards and spikes ala Cage/Pilot version instead of the glowing spinny/bussard. More external weapons/kibble/sensors/antennae/dishes if not some rocket/thruster bells for reaction control system, pre-Impulse, etc. A basic saucer/nacelles in either over or under combo is basically every Starfleet ship from TOS through Voyager.
Or drop that whole angle and just make him Mexican American.
Blatant plagiarism. The sort of thing that is likely to attract a law suit.
The irony about all that is the Kelvinverse films started out in 2009 to breathe new air into the franchise with a more action-oriented setting and high-dollar production values in a new world (timeline) so as not to get mired down by the 4 previous decades of stuffy old canon. The goal was to bring in new audiences. Fans of PrimeTrek felt Abrams' take on the TrekVerse was way too whiz-bang and pew-pew like Star Wars and that he probably would have been better off working for that franchise.
Deepening the already deep irony, Abrams did just that and many of the Star Wars fans gravely disliked his trilogy of films and thought that he never should have dipped his toes in that pool.
So now we're going back to the original plan that gave Abrams' Trek films form in the first place, over 15 years ago (fuck has it been that long?)
This has all happened before, this will all happen again...
JJ directed my two least favorite films in my two favorite franchises.
He didn't do a trilogy of films.
Whenever I try to watch his Mission Impossible movie I just can't for some reason.
Wrong.
Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens
Director: J.J. Abrams
Writers: Lawrence Kasdan, J.J. Abrams, Michael Arndt
Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi
Executive Producer: J.J. Abrams
Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker
Director: J.J. Abrams
Writers: Chris Terrio, J.J. Abrams, Derek Connolly
He may not have had direct hands-on involvement with the second one, but he was still involved, and he was directly responsible for the first and third films of his trilogy.
Thanks for trying, though.
