Well, it’s all sounding good. Apart from the CBS streaming malarkey, that is. I hope we get it here on a channel that doesn’t hide it behind a paywall.

Star Trek: Final Frontier





This was to be an animated series, but it obviously didn’t happen.However, there’s a site with artwork, story boards and other material that’s worth a poke around.

Not overly keen of the ship tbh although the uniform looks promising.

Now, this could be very interesting to watch.



Part of me wants the Axanar lot to win this - there’s a lot of am-dram Trek around that exceeds anything that SyFy or the Asylum can do. But some of it seems to cross the borders into semi-professional, and at this point I have to ask myself - if there is THAT much talent involved, then why not do something new? If you can build the sets, write the scripts, and do the CGI, then why riff of that? Why not use those talents for a new thing instead?

I recall a time in the late 1990s when the legal lot went after all the Star Trek fan sites, basically banning them from using any copyrighted material - yes, they said, you can do a Trek site, but don’t use any of our IP. Contrast with Star Wars, where the views of LucasFilms was “here’s the sand box - enjoy. Just don’t make any money out of it”. I believe that that’s true today, even after the Disney buy out.

How's this for a crazy idea? Instead of setting films in the Star Trek / Wars universes, why not make your own? These people have created ships, characters, uniforms and storylines so why not break away and make something new, and possible brilliant?

Aren't you both missing the point of a Fan Film?

They aren't allowed to make money from it, making it a labour of love. They're doing out of their passion for the material/universe/whatever.

I really hope they get to make it.

I thought they *were* doing this as a labour of love. Am I wrong? I may have missed something... But surely if the powers that be are being awkward, taking a concept and putting into a brand new universe would be just as good. Would the words "Inspired by Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek" annoy the lawyers?
