Star Trek: Axanar

Here's a link to the trailer for a Kickstarter movie project with visual effects by a good friend over at Scifi-Meshes, Tobias Richter, he does phenomenal photo-realistic Star Trek starship meshes, from classic TOS, through the movies, to the Next Generation and beyond (basically think of any Trek ship and he's probably built one), going so far as to even develop indie designers' vessel designs to the same high level of polish he dedicates to his replicas of official canon starships. His work has also featured in Blu-Ray remastered Next Gen series on occasion when they had to fall back on CGI due to not having the original opticals in good nick or whatever. Anyhow, you get the message, the guy is talented.

However this new indie Star Trek movie project he's working on is insane. First you've got the premise, which unlike a lot of indie Trek shows isn't simply a continuation of a favourite series or era, but breaks new ground by detailing the Federation Klingon War, taking place I guess somewhere between Enterprise and TOS. In addition to that they have given it a unique history documentary style with the key players detailing their roles in the conflict. Even from this short trailer it makes for intriguing stuff, I'll let you watch it now and judge for yourself...

In addition to how cool the visual effects are (nice one Tobias ), and the cool concept for the show, you have this insane cast that are involved with it. I almost had a geekasm, Richard Hatch? Tony Todd? J.G. Herztler (Out of Klingon makeup for a change)? Gary Graham? Kate Vernon? Well from the look of this lot this show is not going to suffer the same weak link most indie/fan films do, that of substandard acting.

Keep your eye on this one, definitely looking forward to seeing more.
