Star Trek Anthology

It is truly wonderful that fans’ fascination with Star Trek continues after fifty years, and we’re glad to be developing new stories for the timeline that follows the Original Series.

Anthology 2

We’d like to take a few minutes to tell you a little bit about what we think is a unique and exciting take on the world of Trek.  You may remember in the 1970’s, NBC had an interesting anthology series called the NBC Sunday Mystery Movie.  Each week, it would feature a different detective story.  There was “Macmillan and Wife” starring Rock Hudson and Susan Saint James, “Heck Ramsey” starring Richard Boone, “McCloud” starring Dennis Weaver, and who can forget “Columbo” starring Peter Falk.

Starship Challenger 300The concept for “Star Trek Anthology” will be very much the same.  Each segment of the series will take place primarily in the original Trek series period.  Our premier episode will feature our tent-pole production, “Starship Challenger,” the story of Captain JM Colt and the crew of the Challenger, a Miranda-Class Starship, as they explore the outer rim of the galaxy…

Assignment Earth 300…but that is where Trek canon ends.  Where Gene Roddenberry’s Star Trek was a “Wagon Train to the Stars,” Starship Challenger is more of an “Express Train to the Twilight Zone.”  Throw in a pinch of “Galaxy Quest” and “Outer Limits,” and well, you kind of get the idea.

The pilot is written and ready to shoot, as well as a second episode…and a very funny and moving Mother 300vignette.  Challenger may be a common thread that runs through our other planned series, such as “Assignment: Earth” and “Mother.”
