New Star Trek Series Pitched
Not related to Abrams sequel
What Culture have got hold of some exciting Star Trek news, as they have gained word from TV producer David Foster that he is pitching a new series of the long-running science fiction to CBS.
Although J.J Abrams is gearing up for the second installment of his big screen Trek reboot, that is said to be unrelated to this concept, with 1947 Entertainment currently looking for an exeutive producer to take this pitch to CBS. They are keen to stay true to the canon of the original Gene Rodenberry world, and claim to have gathered support from various names attached to the previous incarnations of the show.
Below is a short extract from the interview, which sheds a little light on what Trekkies can expect to see should this project get off the ground;
The series is highly energized with a much younger cast, and uses cutting-edge future technologies with newly envisioned special effects and designs. It includes Klingons, Ferengi, Andorians, Vulcans, Trill, and many more. The Klingons are getting very restless since the Praxis incident forced them to come to the peace tables, and are tired of having to rely on the Federation for support. The Ferengi have discovered a vast new resource that has propelled them towards instant riches and power beyond anything they have previously experienced.
It sounds like this creative team have done a lot of homework, and we are hopeful that something positive can come of this. Watch this space for more news.
