Bosco685 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 STAR TREK: Exclusive! 'Trek' is Going To Return to TV Quote So, GREAT news, Trekkers, CBS is looking to bring Star Trek back to TV. The last we heard of a Star Trek TV series, was around 2006 before the Abrams movie planted its flag and destroyed most of what we knew (except Spock and - presumably the plot of Star Trek: Enterprise) there were two competing versions: Bryce Zabel (writer, Dark Skies) and J. Michael Straczynski (Babylon 5, but I like crediting him as the good writer on The Real Ghostbusters) pitched a version called “Star Trek: Reboot the Universe” that actually made it online in PDF form. The second was developed closer to the JJ reboot and was written by producer Geoffrey Thorne, novelist and writer on things like Leverage and Criminal Intent and was called Star Trek: Federation and was conceptualized with producer Robert Burnett, Bryan Singer (the X-Men director and producer of TV’s House among others) and Christopher (director of Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation). This other series wouldn’t reboot the Star Trek universe, but would vault it forward past the DS9 and Voyager series timelines into a far flung future where the Utopia Federation that we knew from other TV series had become boring and complacent. We don’t have too many details about the new Star Trek series CBS is going to get working on, but I spent some time filling you in on Federation, because it seems like the same people who made that pitch could be involved. Bryan Singer's name has been mentioned for the new CBS Trek as a possible Executive Producer through his Bad Hat Harry productions. While "Star Trek: Reboot the Universe" was invalidated by 2008's movie Trek, Star Trek: Federation still has a trio of enthusiastic producers, a --script and a writer ready to go should CBS decide to give Singer the ahead to develop this new series.

Davenport Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 With Netflix I watched Enterprise and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. And how much I missed that universe. Now I'm slowly going back through ST:NG episodes... Star Trek really deserves to be an ongoing tv serial. But the whole "far flung future where the Utopia Federation that we knew from other TV series had become boring and complacent" sounds somewhat goofy. They'd be crazy to discard all the Universe-building they've managed to create over decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd be crazy to discard all the Universe-building they've managed to create over decades. It might be just me, but I kinda got sick Utopian feel of the original 60's vision in later incarnations. Sometimes, a familiar formula can get shaken up a little (the current movies), for a different perspective for another generation. With this, I'm actually excited that this series might boldly go where the franchise has never gone before. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davenport Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I'm not disagreeing with any of that. I just hope they don't try to morph ST in to some Star Wars wannabe, Rebels vs. an evil Federation type stuff, all edgy and anarchy. At it's core Star Trek has always reflected back the best of humanity. Interesting morality tales. Explorers. But, who can say. "Breaking Bad In Space" could be the best thing eva.

Mayor006 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Oh, I have had tons of ideas when it comes to Star Trek. If only I could write a book. Maybe one day I'll try.... Tholian Web. Why not expand on a race that was only mentioned in one episode. Wide open. The failed spin-off from Star Trek that was supposed to have Teri Garr in it "Assignment Earth", Byrne tried doing a little something to it in comic form, but I'm really surprised none of these fan groups have tried to do something with it in film. FYI, if you haven't checked out some of the fan films out there they are amazing. I think every time I watch the original episodes I come up with a new idea. Always love seeing what they come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 Paramount Invites ‘Star Trek’ Fan to Pitch New TV Series ince that first letter-writing campaign, Star Trek fans have proven their loyalty to the series. There hasn’t been a new television series since Star Trek: Enterprise was cancelled in 2005, and while there has been the occasional talk of “Star Trek fatigue” over the years, the fact remains that hundreds of thousands of fans worldwide are hungry for more. One such fan is Michael Gummelt, and he’s about to go where no fan has gone before. TrekMovie.com reports that Paramount Pictures has invited Gummelt to pitch a new Star Trek TV series. However, the most interesting part is that Gummelt isn’t a professional in the entertainment industry – just an avid Star Trek fan. Over the last twenty years, Gummelt has worked on creating the series known as Star Trek Uncharted and building support for the concept online. This marks the first time that an enthusiast rather than a professional has been given the opportunity to pitch their show at Paramount. “I can now officially announce that I do, indeed, have an invitation to come pitch Star Trek Uncharted at Paramount this summer! As far as I know, this is the first time a fan (not an established industry insider) has been invited to pitch a Star Trek TV series. This is obviously extremely exciting and I’m doing my best to get support for it from industry professionals.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't bother watching the premiere tonight. I have no interest in getting into yet another subscription service to watch television shows and movies.

Andahaion Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I didn't realize it was being aired through their paid service. That is quite lame. I'm so tired of having to pay for subscriptions to watch shows on different platforms. ComicConnoisseur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
