Another Star Trek<\/em> fan film has been advised to stop production by CBS Corporation.<\/em><\/p>\n

Star Trek: Axanar<\/em>‘s fundraising surely caught the attention of CBS Corporation <\/em>and Paramount Pictures Inc<\/em>. and a court case is currently winding its way through the courts. As feared by many fans, this action now seems to be affecting other Star Trek<\/em> fan films with the word from Star Trek: Horizon<\/em> that they were advised to cease production of their Federation Rising<\/em> film.<\/p>\n

“Earlier today, executives from CBS<\/em> reached out to me and advised me that their legal team strongly suggested that we do not move forward with plans to create a sequel to Horizon<\/em>,” said Star Trek Horizon<\/em> Creator Tommy Kraft<\/strong>. “While this is a sign of the current climate that we find ourselves in with Star Trek<\/em> fan films, I want to personally thank CBS<\/em> for reaching out to me, rather than including us in their ongoing lawsuit against Axanar<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“It was conveyed that the reason CBS<\/em> was reaching out to me was due to the legal troubles stemming from the Axanar<\/em> case. Again, CBS<\/em> did not have to reach out personally. The message I received felt more like they were giving me a heads up before we got too involved in another project, rather than a group of angry executives swinging a hammer.”<\/p>\n

As a result, a proposed Federation Rising Kickstarter<\/em> due to start on Saturday will not take place. Instead, Kraft and Co-Writer\/Producer Ryan Webber<\/strong> will turn their attentions to an original project, which they will announce on Saturday.<\/p>\n

“On behalf of myself and Ryan Webber, my co-writer and co-producer on Federation Rising,<\/em> we appreciate your initial support and are saddened that we cannot bring you what we believe was a fantastic feature film.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
