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.

You know, I don't disagree with falcon. "In A Mirror, Darkly" definitely gave me the wood for the concept of TOS shot with modern technology.

But, like the original TOS, Cow Creek is going with what they've got, and doing so on an extremely limited budget.

All in the finest Roddenberry tradition.

I agree that if there were ever an official remake, or even a show set during that era, that I would expect the latest tech to be made use of. But in this case I don't think it really makes sense to expect that kind of production. I believe someone else already pointed out the fact that these people are working at a loss. They have an extremely limited budget, and resources, to work with. The way I look at it, it makes more sense for them to match the look of the old show, then the new show, because they can actually do it justice. In a lot of ways, despite the date, their resources make them more akin to the production crew of TOS than of ENT, so why try to pretend otherwise?
