The latest issue of the STAR TREK Communicator magazine, just out in the US, features an exclusive interview with STAR TREK producer Rick Berman, in which he talks about the cancellation of ENTERPRISE. Here are a few excerpts :
Rick, how did you get the news that ENTERPRISE had been canceled?
Berman : I got a call directly from UPN. To be honest, I did not expect the show to get picked up for a fifth season. In a way, I am happy that we found out at the beginning of February, as opposed to the beginning of May, and the reason for that has nothing to do with me "" it has to do with all the people who are involved with the show. All of our actors now are able to go out and read for pilots. Our crew is able to go out and find work on pilots. It is very possible that they might not have mentioned the cancellation until the beginning of May, which would've made both of those things impossible. So that was a sort of blessing in disguise, I guess.
How did the cast and crew find out that the show had been canceled?
Berman : Brannon and I called the entire cast one at a time. We then spoke to each of the department head - there are about 20 of them - and that allowed them to go and speak to all of the people who work for them.
Is it a bit of a somber set these days, or have people begun to accept the news and move on?
Berman : We still have another month of work to do [filming ends March 8, then post-production] so I wouldn't exactly call it 'moving on,' but I think people are accepting the fact. The television business is a very itinerant business. Most people tend to work on a project for a year, two years, sometimes three or four years and then they move on to their next project. We have quite a unique situation here in that we have so many people who have worked with use for 10, 15 and even 18 years. This has been, for a lot of people, their career. It makes the whole 'moving on' concept a little bit tougher.
This has to be a new feeling for you because you've never been canceled or had to tell your staff this kind of news.
Berman : That's very true. We have had a very lucky run - 18 years - and seven of those years we were producing two shows. I think a lot of those facts are practically unheard of in this business.
Berman comments on STAR TREK XI can be found here.
