hi there gang, as you've noticed paramount is in a financial panic right now. Paramount+ is an even bigger failure than CBS All Access. they've cancelled two star trek projects, will not be renewing a third and are scrambling to make cash right now. Seth MacFarlane has seen an opportunity and has taken it. here's the details
>disney/Hulu have not yet decided on renewing Orville, it might be dead
>Seth's deal with Peawiener will only cover his new comic book show, The Shrouded College, he will set it up then go
>paramount+ needs to sell most of its content library to stay afloat, it's even worse financial situation than WB too
>Seth, in a partnership with Netflix, has made an offer to buy the rights to the Star Trek IP for a $300 million sum
>this value is significantly below what many considered Star Trek to be worth, because of the panic
>Paramount originally put up Star Trek IP for sale at $1 billion too
>$300 million is the final offer from Seth & Netflix, probably will be accepted, the IP is toxic
>if Seth gets control of the franchise, he will cancel all current shows and all Trek material produced post-Enterprise will be an alt-timeline clusterfrick
>his plan is to do a new series with Patrick Stewart and several other legacy actors who are interested
>he will also look at hiring prominent fan directors and writers, nothing nu
>he is genuinely dismayed at the way the series has gone in discovery, they will get away from
>he actually hates alex kurtzman, says he's only known for bomb after bomb
Source?
Sauce or you made it up
Hi Seth, you should buy Stargate not Star Trek. good luck anyway
two more weeks!
As long as he doesn't try and write it
Very similar reporting happened 2-3 years ago, I guess he’s making another run at it?
>his plan is to do a new series with Patrick Stewart
DUMB
That clown is part of the problem.
they're good friends, its no surprise they'd work together, but stewart would likely listen to him
lower it to 180, seth
there's no way he can have a shatner/stewart series in production by the time the deal is done
the interest just isn't there beyond those two actors
Seth on the off-chance this is true FYI I will subscribe to whatever needs subscribing to, buy your merch and buy physical copies of all releases if available
ive worked with seth recently, afaik this is true although not a done deal yet, but anything that supports him helps (buying orville stuff, watching ted when its out)
I want to believe
wil wheaton is a b***h
>sell star trek for 300million
I'm sorry but this number is laughable.
>because of the panic
Corporations don't think this way, individuals, like someone making up some bullshit, do
That number seems realistic to me. Star Wars sold for $4 billion, and that's for a franchise that could support theme parks, hotels, etc. In comparison nuTrek has had five flop TV series, the last film lost money - it's in the worst financial state of its existence.
Will Seth involve Tarantino? Both are tight with Shitflix.
Tarantino's film script will never be produced, but I could see it being made into an episode or two-parter of Seth's TV show, adapted properly. it involved original characters, and had a few cameos from old characters that would likely be accomplished through archive recordings (nimoy, etc)
>That number seems realistic to me.
That's probably why you chose it.
Just let it die already. And this is coming from a trekkie.
>will not be renewing a third
Strange new worlds??
Prodigy.
Lrn 2 Google.
man, they cancelled Prodigy?
that was one of the only good things to come out of recent trek
I agree, anon. Apparently Season 2 is 90% fine, and the production team is going to carry on finishing it, they’ve been allowed to try to find a new home for it, so hopefully Amazon or Netflix may pick it up, if only to show the completed season 2. It’s been removed from Paramount+ though
I like Seth
I really like The Orville
>He buys the Star Trek IP
Does that mean he would have to adhere all of Roddenberry's bullshit? Frick that homosexual, it'll be the same shit regardless then
Patrick Stewart?. Dude is WAY too old. What the frick? They should just make a sixties style series with hot girls in blue and green makeup and string confident male astronauts facing wacky adventures. Just make a pulpy fun tv show with cool mysteries and artsy special effects. It’s really not that hard. Black mirror slapped together something awesome like this and it was 10x better than anything I’ve ever seen from Star Trek.
This is moronic. Reeks of that Doomwiener homosexual. Expect to see this "news" pop up on some chud clickbait site tomorrow morning.
Doomwiener lives in your head rent free
I love Harvey
>doomwiener dumb
DEVILISH
Fingers crossed
I'll get shredded here for admitting it, but I legit really like SNW. The cast, the look, and the stories so far have been enjoyable. Then again, the last Trek I liked was ENT. I've been out of it for years.
Nah it's legit great imo
