Lemme translate that a little: Chris Hemsworth and Chris Pine are both currently abandoning talks with Paramount over the fourth installment of the Star Trek reboot. Hemsworth is, of course, currently Thor in the MCU; and Pine plays Wonder Woman’s love interest somehow-in-the-sequel Steve Trevor in the DCEU. Paramount would prefer not to pay out accordingly, particularly since Star Trek Reboot 3 didn’t do so hot. To be honest? I didn’t see it, so I don’t know whether or not it was any good.

Watch me commit heresy over Paramount’s new Star Trek fan film rules.
There’s nothing particularly unusual about them. To sum them up: there’s a half hour limit on productions, the work has to be studiously non-commercial and amateur (for example: no more cameos from people who were in a previous Star Trek production), stick disclaimers anywhere and keep it clean*. And, oh, yeah: if you buy Star Trek uniforms or gear for your movie, use the official stuff. Continue reading Watch me commit heresy over Paramount’s new Star Trek fan film rules.
