| I am honestly a bit dubious about this. For starters, your crew has quite a long list of characters- an ensemble cast is difficult enough, but the more characters you have, the harder it becomes. I highly doubt that CBS or any other major network would want to take on such an unweildy project (and, point in fact, they dropped "Jericho", possibly for other reasons, but it can't have been easy to manage such a large cast).
Also, the very idea of a new Trek series starting up on CBS is... well... senseless. Paramount owns the rights to the Trek franchise and Paramount/Viacom isn't beholden to CBS anymore. Neverminding the fact that Paramount has its own television network.
THEN there's the fact that Paramount/Viacom, just two years ago, made it fairly clear that there will be absolutely NO moves toward starting up a new series. Conventional wisdom, these days, is that Trek needs to take a break from TV for a while. Make a few movies here and there, sure, but let America kinda-sorta "detox" from Trek saturation.
And, finally, if this were a project with actual backing from CBS, does ANYONE really believe that the official website would be hosted at Freewebs.Com?!? And even if you're simply trying to convince CBS to give you some backing (which seems unlikely), don't you think that having a more cohesive website might be helpful? Everything you share there is text- no images, no conceptual drawings, no meat. Not many CBS execs are gonna be willing to wade through a few thousand words of text on each page- they want everything to be concise and pointed because, hey, time is money.
So, no, I'm highly skeptical about this project- its viability, its potential and even its name just don't have the ring of truth to me. Does this individual WANT to make it into a full series? Undoubtedly. Has he talked with a few CBS employees and tried to pitch the series? Probably. But his ability to pay for ANY work done on this kind of project is, IMHO, doubtful.
Just remember when you're left with nothing to show for any work you might do on this project: I've told you so. |
