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.

Everything is in the writing. The fact that they have Koenig gives them a hell of a validation, and this script is penned by DC Fontana, which makes it more valid than anything Berman has done in years.

What's been amazing is the improvement between the first and second episodes. The first one will be remembered for effects and effort. The story wasn't that great.

The second one was much better. The story was better, though there were some holes in the plot, and a serious out of character moment for Spock.

But I enjoyed the story. Maybe one more edit, and they would have had a top notch Trek episode.

And now they have DC Fontana. You know the script is going to be great.
