Yes , there ’s a moving-picture show come out and Heroes ’ Bryan Fuller is dying to do a unexampled television serial based on it , but that does n’t stand for we ’ll be seeing a raw TVStar Trekanytime soon .
The Hollywood Reporter ’s James Hibberd look into the likeliness of Fuller ’s TV Trek ambitions bearing yield , and found that … well , while sure corporate entities may be interested , no - one will admit to anything on the criminal record :
We study that expect speculative questions about a “ Trek ” telecasting show before the movie comes out tends to rag PR people . We learned new hebdomadary voyages of the Starship Enterprise are a recollective slam involving a lot of lawyer . And we learned there ’s a cosmopolitan good sense is that , needs , “ Trek ” will return to television , but not probable without several strong - minded duck getting into a words .
According to Hibberd , the job – or , more properly , one of the problem – is that dissimilar companies own the right field to Trek in its dissimilar incarnations ; CBS owns Star Trek as a whole , but is n’t in reality involved in theJJ Abrams ‘ motion-picture show reboot , which is made by ( former sister company)Paramount Pictures … even though Paramount made all the Star Trek TV shows from The Next coevals through Enterprise ( and Voyager and Enterprise air out on the Paramount - owned UPN ) . perplexing ? Yes , and it involve mergers , acquisitions and CBS now actually being known asCBS ParamountTelevision , even though it has nothing to do with Paramount Pictures , who are making the flick . As Hibberd invest it ,
All parties , by the agency , absolutely detest answer questions on this theme , knowing any response they give will spawn headline and necessarily get them shouted at by somebody .
Perhaps more of a bumble mental block may be consultation reaction ; we ’re all excited about Star Trek the summer smash hit movie , but how many multitude who go and see it would keep tuning in , hebdomad after week , to see a smaller , cheaper version of it ? And if there was a telecasting show useable for free every week , what would that do to the movie enfranchisement ?
Could ‘ Star Trek ’ soon return to TV?[THR Live Feed ]
