Star Trek Renegades Trailer Debuts
1 min read
The official trailer for Star Trek: Renegades has been released.
In Star Trek: Renegades, “It is ten years after Voyager’s return from the Delta Quadrant, and the Federation is in a crisis. The Federation’s main suppliers of dilithium crystals are disappearing. Space and time have folded around several planets, effectively isolating them from any contact with outside worlds. And this phenomenon is not natural – someone or something is causing this to happen. This necessitates drastic measures; some of which are outside the Federation’s normal jurisdiction.”
Directed by Tim Russ, Star Trek: Renegades is being created with an eye to being picked up as a television pilot, and if that does not happen, being presented as a webseries.
The show includes some familiar Trek faces. Walter Koenig, Russ, Manu Intiraymi, Gary Graham, Robert Picardo and Richard Herd will all be seen in Star Trek: Renegades.
The pilot for Star Trek: Renegades focuses on Lexxa Singh (Adrienne Wilkinson), a “bastard daughter” of Khan Noonien Singh. She’s a “formidable warrior” and a “cunning commander” who will be in charge of investigating a newly-discovered planet that is “believed to be connected to a drastic disappearance of dilithium crystals.”
Star Trek: Renegades will debut this summer.
About The Author
Well its cool to see Chekov in the future but unfortunately it isn’t considered canon.
It LOOKS good, I’ll wait until I see the final product before I cast judgement. Looks like this may be the best thing we get for the 50th anniversary.
Not canon now, but potentially could become canon if picked up by CBS/Paramount.
I’ll admit I’m genuinely shocked at the quality of this trailer. I’ve seen major motion pictures that looked more like fan movies than this one, granted most of them are from the early 2000s when effects were harder to come by on the cheap.
How did they get permission?
I don’t understand how CBS aren’t suing their butts off.
Although I appreciate the effort that seems to have gone into it, I’m wondering where the essence of Trek is in all of this. Axanar also looks slickly done, but again, seems focused on the pew-pew and kaboom side of things. Anybody remember when we used to be explorers?
I would SOOOoooo much rather have something like this than the JJ universe that we’re getting now. Nu Trek sucks IMO. I miss the prime universe. 🙁
The crinkly skin is pretty convincing. I’d like to be 143 some day with medical advances pending, but will have to settle for half that much time.
Likely an informal understanding as I’m not aware Renegades has a licensing agreement with the rights holders. The fan-based material has been distributed free of charge and the studios seem to have chosen not to force the issue. That can be a strategy, as affluent fans are also good customers the studios may not wish to alienate.
I had something snarky and uncalled-for all ready to go but this actually does look pretty slick.
As long as they aren’t making money off of it its not illegal. Fan films have been going on for years and Paramount knows about it. Its nothing new.
I have to admit this looks pretty slick, and will probably be better that next year’s movie. And I vastly prefer the continuation of the prime universe. But I’m also getting tired of how dark Trek is becoming. What happened to the optimism for the future?
CBS doesn’t really seem to care who it alienates. . .Axing Enterprise just as it was getting half decent, giving the movie franchise to Abrams, Orci, Kurtzman, and some bloke only known for directing a Fast and Furious movie, charging $80 per season for TNG on Blu-ray so most fans couldn’t afford them, and doing such a piss poor job early on with the restorations that most future sales were lost from fans who could afford them, insisting on shipping season one without the slipcase when 2-7 have them, and all but refusing to remaster DS9 in HD.
As for Renegades, I have issues with Khan having a daughter who doesn’t look a day past 25 given the time frame of this series, but the visuals look stunning.
I wish they’d clear up some unresolved plots from the earlier series, such as “Conspiracy” from TNG. And whatever happened to that numbered species that was going to rip apart the fabric of the known universe?
It looks like 24th century Star Trek….aassuming it became a horrific wasteland.
I’d buy this as canon, but ONLY in an alternate reality like one Worf went to.
Utter horse shit.
I agree, the exploration element seems to be missing. But I would still prefer this (and Axanar) over the JJ-made travesty.
It doesn’t look bad. I’m actually pleasantly surprised. Though I’m disappointed with the camera. Why didn’t they use professional cameras like from other trek shows? Those of Star Trek Continues give much better picture quality we’re used to from star trek shows. This gives the impression as if it’s an amateur video. The trailer looks good, but let’s wait for the movie.
After JJ, I say cannon is whatever you want it to be. The current powers that be don’t care, so why should we?
ds9 was dark and very popular, enterprise was exploration nobody likes. and the episode that but they like to fans of enterprise was mirror.
for the human empire!!
The violence and evil characters are too distracting and way over-the-top. It’s not Star Trek, not even close. The next thing you know, the sound effects editor will dub in the stabbing of a 10 pound pork roast with a 12-inch bowie knife at frame 1:04.
