CBS Chief Says Star Trek Remains A Priority For Paramount, Answers Why ‘Legacy’ Has Not Been Greenlit
Some interesting quotes herein.
I kinda hope that “Legacy” does get off the ground, if for no other reason than that all the folks champing at the bit for it will be confronted by the fact that once you take out the TNG cast, what you’re left with is show created by the same dude who was showrunner for season two of PIC and who thinks owning a BttF DeLorean is a personality trait, featuring the Scrappy Doo of Star Trek.
But what about all the interesting ideas they’ve pitched for Legacy? Like…the ideas that were come up with. That involved things. You know the ones.
Yeah, right now the idea seems to begin and end with more Trek by Terry Matalas, and if that’s all they’re bringing to the table…I’m good.
Even though I do like Seven, Raffi, and Crash LaForge, the ongoing adventures of Jack Crusher does not appeal to me in the slightest.
Thank you. It was getting stuffy in here.
Why are you so mad at this guy?
Who’s angry? I just don’t think he’s a particularly good showrunner, and if not for people being blinded by his over reliance on fan service and nostalgia, it wouldn’t even be a question.
The question mentioned “Legacy,” but the answer didn’t even reference that project indirectly.
@ValueSubtracted @startrek Yeah, just general talk of spacing out future projects. But since it’s the only potential future project we know of (I think?) it’s a straw to grab. 😂
Personally I wouldn’t be shocked if the idea dies because people move on to other projects and then if/when Paramount decided to do it you suddenly can’t get the band back together on the timeline they want.
Here’s hoping, I need captain seven
Actually, TrekMovie makes the case that the references in the reply to the need to ‘time things out’ for the franchise was the answer. I would parse that as their having other Star Trek franchise products ahead in the queue.
The person asking really let Cheeks off the hook though with their final question being, “Is Trek still a priority for the company?”.
No matter how specific the preceding preamble was to Legacy, the question they got to was super general and let Cheeks take it wherever he wanted.
