I'm looking forward to Axanar as well.  It'll be interesting to see how they flesh out that storyline.

Lots of Starship Pron here:

The image showing the class silhouette comparisons is pretty cool!

So.. they are debuting the film Prelude to Axanar at the North Houston Convention Aug 8-10...

Tickets are $25 for a day, $50 for the whole thing.  Most of the cast and crew will be there for it as well.

Just my luck... I've got my wedding reception in MI that weekend.

To bad they didn't schedule the show in January when I was down in San Antonio.  That would have been fun to watch.

Just curious Lt. Q where are you headed to in Michigan?  Don't need exact details, figure if I know the general area I can give you a heads up at the bad areas.

I'm going home, my entire family lives in the West Michigan Area.  With the exception of myself, my sister, and couple of cousins, everyone stayed home.  I went to Houston, my sister is following her husband in the USAF, and a couple of cousins went to work in Washington.  My Wife and I got married a couple of months ago, and her family is here in Houston.

It looks pretty good so far, but I don't buy Hatch as a Klingon.

They are meshing JJ trekverse tech with prime universe. Amazingly this doesn't bother me much. This is the kind of kicka$$ story that should be done. I don't see that I can donate this month, but hopefully I can make a pledge next month. I want to see this happen. 8)

Just gotta say...

I really like the lines of the D-6 in Prelude to Axanar.    The other ships too, although the one fed design (USS Geronimo) with the second (forward) set of impulse engines in front of the dual secondary hull struts seems like a bad idea to me... there's inice angled shot showing off the full view of this second set of engines at 10:43 in the video.

That being said, the USS Geronimo looks like quite the nice ship otherwise!   I would just have moved that second set of impulse engines outboard a bit, so that the impulse isn't thrusting against the two necks.

I also very much like the lines of Sonja's ship, the Ajax.  Several shots, including the feint at 12:31, show off this design rather well.

Very much liking the choice of actors as well!

Overall, a nice starting point for this!  Very much looking forward to the full release.

The Geronimo design is weird in many respects unless it is a carrier. You're right though, the pylons should be moved down to attach at the saucer bottom for the rear set of engines and it doesn't need two deflector dishes in any case.

Well, since they are still building sets, and just launched the kickstarter for the full length feature,  I'd say no...

Where that link to amovieweb.com requires a login, I'd be highly suspicious of any requested credit card data should anyone want to sign in for that service.  However, if anyone does get past the login, feel free to report your findings.

It was fully funded through kickstarter back at the end of august.

Studio flooring went in in march so I guess it will be quite awhile still.

Even still it is a shot in the dark. If Paramount passes on giving them a deal I'm not sure if they can legally release it.

Actually, Prelude To Axanar was fully  funded in August (they raised $80,000)... not the full length film.

Here is the donor page for the full length feature:

That's why the are only calling it Axanar now (no Star Trek prefix, although the Website still has the prefix).  They are in that weird zone where all of the fan-produced spinoffs are, and apparently are toe-ing the line appropriately.  That could always change though.  They can't charge for the release itself, but baubles (Axanar shirts, mugs, etc) are another story, as long as it doesn't say Star Trek on them...  Prelude to Axanar was released under these conditions, and cost $80,000 in donations to make.  They can't sell the Movie/Prequel in any shape or form, but it's available for download (for free) in a few places.

Said baubles are tied to the donation levels, similar to what happens on PBS with donations.  AFAIK they aren't selling them directly.

And trust me, with the star power and buzz that Axanar has been working with, I'm SURE Paramount is well aware of their existence.  Doesn't mean that Paramount won't change their tune at some point, but I'd be interested if they got 'written permission assuming not-for profit/free'' as insurance.

Star Trek New Voyages, Phase II, etc. are in stickier territory, as they are using the main roles (Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, etc.).  Nonetheless, they've been releasing episodes for years now.  I'm guessing that Paramount feels that this keeps the 'fan base' together for the next time Paramount does an official release, but of course that can change.  Other fan film franchises have suffered at the whim of various studios.  As an example, at one point, there was a cool new fan made live action Robotech movie with a couple of segments released, but the second Harmony Gold found out about it, cease and desist...

ST:OGAM (Star Trek: Of Gods And Men) was another released 'film' which had Nichelle Nichols and Walter Koenig in it.  Check it out if you can find it, if you haven't seen it yet!  I'm guessing that Renegades (the planned spinoff from STOGAM) fell by the wayside, though.
