Although Both Patrick Stewart Himself And The Producers

In 2009 Star Trek Produced By

Paramount and Bad Robots. Alex Kurtzman, who wrote and produced both 2009. Star Trek and its 2013 sequel Star Trek into Darkness for Bad Robots and whose production company Secret Hideout has written and produced. Star Trek Discovery will serve as showrunner. The first two episodes will be directed by H’l Culpepper who, among other things, has previously directed a number episodes for Star Trek Discovery.

The Casting Of Supporting Characters Is Well

underway and everything appears to be on track for a late 2019 premiere, so what is the problem production on the Picard series is scheduled to begin in April if the series is indeed going to premiere in late 2019. The current production. Start date cannot be pushed back by much rumors emanating from inside the production. However, indicates that making the production start date will be costly as the construction of sets and the production of both uniforms and models are all behind schedule. The reason apparently is that the designs which were initially approved have since been second-guessed and were sent back to the drawing board.

The Reason For This Is That The Once

approved designs were given to various licensees behind third-party merchandise, like toys models and other apparel. Their feedback was clear they made it known to UK in no uncertain terms. They could not sell it to the traditional demographic of Star Trek fans that buy Star Trek merchandise and that some aspects of the story would not go down well. They made it further clear that if UK wanted to go it alone and continued to sell. brand of Star Trek to a new demographic which does not appear to exist that was their prerogative but the major licensees would not get involved until they were provided with something they believed that the traditional Star Trek fan base were interested in buying Netflix reportedly also made it clear to UK that the original planned direction of the series was not one They were happy with so what did the Picard series look like that caused such a reaction.

Apparently The Designs Looked Like A Further Evolved

and more futuristic version of the designs in Star Trek discovery and nothing like anything that might have evolved from the designs associated with Star Trek The Next Generation whether from the UK series or the spin-off feature films if you have followed the production troubles facing Star Trek the last couple of years, you will recall that a very similar. arose when Star Trek Discovery itself was in pre-production back in MArch of 2017. Weeks prior to even a frame of footage being released to the public. Midnight’s Edge exclusively made public that rumours making the rounds within the industry that the licensees were declining the offers to make Star Trek Discovery merchandise based on the designs. They were going for Star Trek Discovery would go on to be released without toys or models and stores, and while some models would become available to the very tail end of season 1.

As Of The Making Of This

video. Towards the end of season 2 for all intents and purposes. There are still no Star Trek Discovery toys in stores for a franchise like Star Trek. The lack of support in toys and merchandise is a big deal so how could a situation where toy manufacturers aren’t supporting Star Trek arise. The first place before we move on Let’s dive into that for a moment the core issue facing both the rebooted bad robot Star Trek movies, Star Trek Discovery and the upcoming Picard series and all of their merchandising struggles is that they are all made under the terms of an alternate Star Trek copyright issued to Paramount and not the original Star Trek license, which is owned byNK] Midnight Edge has previously revealed a detailed history leading up to the division of the Star Trek rights and practical consequences of this division, but to bring new viewers up to speed we will do a quick recap following the Viacom corporate split back in 2005 traditional Star Trek custodian Paramount were deprived of not just their ability to make any new Star Trek productions on either UK or film, but also of the reliable and sizeable revenue stream brought.

Brought In By Star Trek Merchandise That

third-party licensees had provided them in the past.NK] had been awarded the Star Trek rights in the Viacom split, but they had never been involved with the production of any Star Trek series in the past. Outside of sitting back and passively collecting the tens of millions of dollars in yearly revenue that Star Trek Merchandise from third-party licensees brought in for them. They had no plans for Star Trek on the big or small screen paramount on the other hand were at this time very much interested in not just reviving the Star Trek franchise, but to get the revenue from Third-party merchandise flowing again, this point cannot be overstated. The reason why every studio is chasing franchises isn’t just for reliable box office before the additional revenue from Third-party Merchandise, which not only has the potential to revive the box.

To Provide The Brand Income With A

revenue stream when there is no new movie in theaters or no new series on UK few franchises oh so much of their total earnings to license Third-party merchandise as Star Trek case in point, while UK were willing to license Star Trek film rights to Paramount in return for a hefty fee.NK] were not willing to do anything that would undercut their own revenue stream from third-party merchandise. The solution then was to issue paramount with an alternate Star Trek copyright, which for all intents and purposes meant allowing Paramount to create another legally separate Star Trek that totally and visually had to be sufficiently different from the original Star Trek so that both could be separately and independently licensed the third-party licensees. This way UK could continue to profit from the merchandise based on the character likenesses uniforms and ship. with all the original Star Trek released from 1996 to 2005, while Paramount would profit from all the merchandise based on the likenesses of the alternate characters in uniforms and ship designs associated with the alternate Star Trek released from 2009 and onwards for complex legal issues.

Not Just The Bad Robot Produced

featured films, but also the UK all access series. Star Trek Discovery and the upcoming Picard series are made under this alternate Star Trek license, not the original Star Trek for practical purposes. This means that the original designs and footage such as the triple and Star Trek into darkness. The picture of the original crew and Star Trek beyond and the footage from the cage in Star Trek Discovery can all be separately licensed and put on screen, but these separately licensed items associated with the original Star Trek copyright cannot be further monetized for third-party. In order to be able to monetize the designs used in this alternate Star Trek.

They Have To Differ From The

original designs by a certain factor. This factor is believed to be 25% where the uniforms are concerned. The uniform scene in Star Trek beyond represent the bare minimum of redesign required to be able to further license the alternate designs to third-party merchandise manufacturers in Star Trek discovery they made a creative decision to go far beyond the legally required minimum redesigns. It would appear they have done so in the upcoming Picard series as well. The existence of two separate Star Trek’s does have legal implications for what is and what is not canon, Although the producers try to obfuscate this fact as much as possible.

The Term Prime Timeline Was Coined Exclusively

to this end in conjunction with the 2009 movie and audiences were conditioned to. It referred to the original canon Star Trek made between 1966 and 2005. In reality, the term is a product of the alternate Star Trek license, which is the only place where it has been used, and it only refers to the alternate Star Trek’s interpretation of the original Star Trek canon to further the impression at the prime timeline in the Canon of Star Trek are one in the same then as we already have mentioned the makers of Star Trek Discovery can separately license any design from the original Canon even original footage as was done in the case of the cage, but from a legal point of view. The original and current Alternate Star Trek are to legally different entities made under legally different copyrights.

While The Makers Of Star Trek

Discovery and the Picard series may proclaim the original Star Trek canon to be in the. same continuity as their series from the point of view of the original Canon of Star Trek Discovery and the Picard series are but pastiche just like bad robots feature films. Even if they feature some of the cast in alternate prime versions of characters they previously played in Star Trek Canon. Even with that limitation great new Star Trek can be made under the terms of the alternate copyright as long as there is a will to do so from the producers with Star Trek Discovery.

The Producers In Charge Forged Ahead With

their designs, which went far beyond the legally required minimum redesign the price they paid in terms of unrealized licensing revenue, as well as the eventual lack of goodwill and willingness to pay for more subsequent spin-offs from international distributors like Netflix first and foremost reportedly hit them hard ever since UK had to increase their. expenditure from season 2 onwards. Star Trek Discovery is no longer a profitable series for them.
