I thought it was implied that he did.

Could be decent but the acting wasn't terribly impressive. Plus where was Saul Tigh???

Wow, that video was incredible.

I think some of us misread that he was going to be in it. I think the quote was "Saul Tigh's wife from BSG" because she is in it.

Richard Hatch was in it too!

He was confirmed to actually be apart of it a while back:https://www.facebook.com/StarTrekAxa...146491/?type=1

That's for the next part, Axanar.

It's even from Axanar's page talking to him AFTER Prelude to Axanar had already been shot.

fucking awesome.

Could this be a return to real Star Trek? I can't say I'm excited, but certainly hopeful.

I don't want JJ Abrams fucking touching this.

I have to admit that at first it was kind of mehh, but it certainly got a lot better as the movie progressed. This looked miles better as a story than the last 2 movies were. There is a reason that "Wrath of Khan" is considered the best Star Trek movie. Combat strategy with great effects and good characters. You can tell in this 20 minute clip that the ship effects were done in quick short formats due to cost. I would love to see those screens extended out with full effect and time. Detail is key. Wrath of Khan even today still looks good because of the detail of the modeling.

I also think that given what computers can do now and what could be accomplished with a good budget that Star Trek in the right vehicle could shine as a new TV show

Hey, don't forget all the Paradise Lost and Moby Dick. Taking from the classics gives you legitimacy!

Khaaaaan!

Really good Kickstarter. They got 638k for a 100k goal. They discuss this as being a multiple part kickstarter with each part funding different portions of the movie. They stated that the full movie would need anywhere between 650-750k to make it. So unless they got extra backing outside of the Kickstarter, they will need to do at least one more. It would have been real nice if they had gotten the 750k, but something tells me even that might be an underestimate of what they actually need. If the 2nd one can generate 300k, that should cover everything including the unforeseen issues that I am sure crop up for movie budgets.

I think they touched on it with the first KS but- how are they dealing with the rights to startrek?

As far as I know CBS as fine with since it is from the canon that they are making of the prime universe (not the JJ verse) about an event that happened before TOS and after Enterprise. Since they are not making it to broadcast or release for sale that is. If they do either of those I am sure CBS would be all over them for the money quick.
