According to Variety, Mel Harris, the exec who was an innovator in firstrun syndication and the homevideo biz during his 25-year run in the top ranks at Paramount and Sony Pictures Entertainment, died of cancer Saturday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. He was 65. Harris was known as a champion of new technologies and new markets in a biz that has often been slow to embrace change. He helped modernize the firstrun syndie biz by harnessing satellite distribution to deliver "Entertainment Tonight" to affiliates on a timely basis, and he spearheaded the studio's 1987 revival of Star Trek in the form of The Next Generation, a high-end syndie production.

The latest issue of Cinefantastique magazine, just out in the US, features an exclusive interview with STAR TREK ENTERPRISE producer Manny Coto, in which he again talks about the show's cancellation. Here are a few excerpts :
"When I went into this season knowing we were moved to Fridays and the budget had been reduced and there was no promotion, the handwriting was kind of on the wall" he told journalist Jeff Bond "But it is sad because what we did this season was only the tip of the iceberg of what we could have done."
"My guess is that in two years some hot new show runner, someone who is popular and has established hits, will come to Paramount and say they want to do a STAR TREK series and Paramount will say terrific." Coto said "Because STAR TREK is such an enticing brand name that there are very few people out there who would not want to do it; anyone of the people running the hot action or hot sci-fi series out there would die to do a STAR TREK series and in two or three years that opportunity will be open."
