The article makes no mention of the proposed project helmed by Mariner herself, Tawny Newsome. Of course, the idea was floated some time before the merger was approved, so who knows. It'd be foolish to let her talents go to waste.
Not liking this doom and gloom surrounding the franchise. There's been a lull twice before before and it'll happen again. I should like to think it can return with some interesting ideas and predictably welcomed callbacks.
yeah, this is kind of a weird article. star trek is such a cultural touchstone it's always going to come back eventually. a break is a healthy thing unless you're toei, and frankly going into dormancy right now with paramount's new leadership (conspicuously absent from the article) is a mercy. and in the meantime, looney toons- no shade, it rules- isn't going to displace trek as a tentpole drama series
although speaking of looney tunes, that reminds me of another series paramount now owns https://youtu.be/kHRzuXkVIJE?is=w2jeIBd-DMJ-ZUfj
Thought it was already revealed that wasn’t going ahead. They’re aiming for a clear slate once Kurtzman’s contract expires at the end of the year. It’s considered bad form to lumber the next team with unwanted projects.
Wait, Kurtzman will no longer be in charge of Star Trek? This is the best new I've heard in ages!
Well, his contract is up for renewal in the winter, and all the shows on his slate have been cancelled…
