Still, considering all the other Star Trek fan films that have been made before, it’s interesting that they’re going full steam ahead against Star Trek: Axanar.
Despite Star Trek: Axanar (and its prequel, Prelude to Axanar) receiving support from Star Trek: Axanar director Justin Lin and director of the first two Star Trek reboot movies, J.J. Abrams, Trek News reported that this past Wednesday, Paramount and CBS made it clear to a California federal judge that they are continuing with the case.
It may be a while until this fan film situation is settled, but meanwhile, Star Trek Beyond will fly into theaters on July 22.
This will certainly force other creative teams to be more cautious about their own fan Star Trek projects, if not outright scrap them.
