STAR TREK NEW VOYAGES Movie Announced

Features

By GustavoLeao / 12:45, 16 August 2005 / General Star Trek

The STAR TREK NEW VOYAGES online series, a fan-made continuation of Captain Kirk's initial five year mission, made the following announcement in their message board :

"Originally, we had planned on filming both Episode 3 and 4 this coming September. This is no longer the case. The Fontana webisode will lens in September as planned. However, the Trevino/Calk script will not be filmed until 2006.

The reasoning behind this is that Jack and Ethan wrote A MOVIE! This special two hour presentation is still in development and WILL be filmed (provided we can come up with another chunk of change). So, rumors of a NEW VOYAGES movie in 2007 are true. Will it be an internet release, or possibly straight to DVD? Well, we have to keep some surprises from you until the time is right :)

At present, we're looking at a March 2006 release of the Fontana webisode. But I felt bad making you wait SO long to see more New Voyages. So, a call was sent forth to our writing team to come up with something special for the intervening months.

So, NEW VOYAGES is proud to announce a short film series simply entitled "The Vignettes". Beginning in late October of this year, and every 4 to 6 weeks after that, a new vignette will be released on www.newvoyages.com.

The Vignettes will run about 10 minutes each and feature characters from STNV. Currently there are 5 vignettes in pre-production. They include:

"Center Seat" written by Erik Korngold, featuring DeSalle and Sulu.

"Review" written by Jeffrey Quinn, featuring Spock and Chekov.

"Co-Pilots" written by Jack Trevino and Ethan Calk, featuring Rand and DeSalle.

"No Lesson Complete" written by Erik Korngold and Ethan Calk, featuring McCoy, Uhura and Chapel.

"Change of Command" written by Erik Korngold, featuring (I'm gonna leave this as a surprise).

Keep in mind that while we are announcing these, much can happen in 30 days. So PLEASE take this as tentative - nothing is concrete until it's been filmed - but this is our intention."

More can be found here.

The poster for the third STAR TREK NEW VOYAGES episode, featuring Walter Koenig, has also been released (see above). A larger version can be found here.

Far from it, the stuff is really good. I'm a huge fan of ST Hidden Frontiers. Those episodes were far truer to Trek than most Ent and late voyager episodes.

RE Copyright, as long as they don't make any money (and these things are run at a loss, the actors and crew do it for free and the producers dig deep into their own pockets) and as long as they don't do anything silly like introduce a skinhead male rapist as Captain of the Enterprise, Paramount let them contimue. It's tremendous free advertising after all.

Got to disagree with you Cryoplasm. Even though I've had issues with the acting and writing in the past, the show has a hell of a lot of heart. It cares about these characters, and about the universe that Gene created, and I think in a lot of ways that's more than can be said of Enterprise (which I even liked to an extent). Pollution causes harm, it sickens, it wears down. This show strengthens ST with it's heart, and builds it back up with it's imagination. It is not pollution.

As for copyright, I'd just like to personally thank Paramount for not shutting down this production. Others have said the show is safe because it doesn't make money, but I've seen other fan productions shut down in similiar situations. Paramount could shut it down if they wanted, but they don't. For all the crap Paramount gets, this is one of the good things it has done for the fans.
