G+_George Kozi Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Yeah, two times 15 minutes instead of 90 minute movie... I hate Paramount and CBS's guts. Prelude to Axanar was the best piece of Star Trek cinematography that I've seen in years. Instead of amputating projects that are actually good, they could have collaborated and made something that fans would actually like to see. They are no good custodians of the Star Trek Universe, that's as sure as heck. They certainly can't make something as exciting as Axanar.? I know that in the grand scheme of things this won't matter, but I shall avoid anything Paramount or CBS whenever I see their logo on something. At least my few coins, they won't have.? https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/21/movies/star-trek-axanar-fan-film-paramount-cbs-settlement.html?smid=go-share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_George Kozi Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 Lance Muzie This is Prelude to Axanar and it's GOOD. That's why they got sued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_William L. DeRieux IV Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 George Kozi Clearly Axanar violated the rules for fan films and that is why they were sued and not because the movie/trailer was GOOD. You can read the rules that fan films must adhere to here: startrek.com - Star Trek Fan Films But -- In my opinion these rules are clearly designed to be more of a hindrance to create any kind of decent fan-film -- primary because of rule #1 and #7. rule #1: They can't create any kind of sequel or release the film as more then 2 episodes and the total length of all episodes cannot exceed 30 minutes. rule #7: They really can't have any kind of content because they are so limited as to what can be displayed/shown in the film. Also CBS/Paramount reserves the right to revise, revoke and/or withdraw these guidelines at any time in their own discretion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_George Kozi Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 William L. DeRieux IV those are the rules put in place as a result of them suing Axanar. If I'm not mistaking, they made those after or as a part of the trial. They did sue because it was too good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_William L. DeRieux IV Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 George Kozi I doubt those rules were created solely because of the suit against Axanar. It is more likely that CBS/Paramount had an internal set of rules to evaluate fan films for copyright claims -- which were not made public until this fan film was created. It maybe possible that they revised the language used in the rules to make it more clear to the general public as part of the lawsuit's proceedings. If I were an executive at CBS or Paramount -- I think I would hire the people behind Axanar and allow them to help create better Star Trek movies. At the moment it seems that both CBS and Paramount are insistent upon destroying the franchise by creating lack-luster films. Their current film series has been overly robotic in delivery, and their characters seem very shallow (the characters aren't developed enough -- almost as though they were like paper being 2-dimensional and lacking depth).

G+_David Pick Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Star Trek Axanar broke Paramounts good will towards fan films by making a for profit production masquerading as a non-profit production. People always seem to hate Enterprise. But this fan production followed the rules of non profit and I thought they did a good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Stephen Wilson Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Hopefully all of Richard Hatch's parts where already recorded. I would hate for them to have to recast that part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
