TrekWeb.COM has learned that production has been extended for a few days on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine because of injuries to Marc Alaimo during a stunt fight scene. Avery Brooks threw a punch a little too deep and Marc's timing was off; Marc was hit in the nose by Avery. Marc's appearance is vital to the scenes in question, so those scenes will be filmed after he's had a few days to recover from his injuries. The final day of shooting now looks like April 27th, 1999.

UPDATE - Sunday, April 18, 1999: 7:50 PM EDT

TrekWeb has been informed by a source close to Marc that although the incident required a trip to the Emergency Room, Marc is in no pain and will return to work Wednesday, April 21st, as scheduled. Shooting therefore should not be delayed.

TrekWeb.COM has also learned that rumors circulated yesterday of Rene Auberjonois stating while at a convention that a DS9 movie is "absolutely certain" and that ways to preserve the set(s) were being looked into for this purpose, are unreliable. TrekWeb's sources say that the Promenade set has already been torn down. Sources say that although rebuilding the set(s) is possible yet expensive, the destruction of the set decreases the likelihood of a DS9 movie anytime soon.
