The “Save Enterprise” campaign is taking a large leap in their efforts to
save the troubled television program. Eugene Rodenberry, the son of the
creator of Star Trek and Tim Brazeal of TrekUnited.com appeared last night
on GameSHOUT Radio’s popular Sci-Fi Thursday program.
The primary topic of discussion was the efforts of the team at
TrekUnited.com to save the Star Trek prequel “Star Trek: Enterprise”.
Earlier in February, the UPN announced the Enterprise cancellation after
the end of its fourth season, leaving Enterprise devotees facing the
prospect of network television devoid of a Star Trek series for the first
time in almost 20 years. As of Monday, worldwide Star Trek fans have
generously donated over $65,000 to TrekUnited in an attempt to save the
Trek Franchise. But yesterday, investors in commercial space flight
industry have anonymously contributed $3-million to the TrekUnited campaign
to support their goal to fund a fifth season of Star Trek: Enterprise!
TrekUnited.com has accomplished this in only two weeks of effort. They have
been coordinating a letter-writing campaign as well as their fund-raising
efforts. If the campaign fails to keep Enterprise on the airwaves, all
proceeds will be refunded to the donors, minus about 1-3% to cover the
expenses of the effort. Any other funds left over after all of the expenses
are paid will be donated to the tsunami relief effort. Brazeal further
stated that he does not want these efforts to deprive any charity of funds.
He stated that his wish is that people first donate to their favorite
charity, and then if there is any money left over, Brazeal hopes that Star
Trek fans will contribute to this effort.
In an exclusive announcement, Brazeal advised last night that they are in
discussions with Paramount Studios in efforts to save the program. Details
of the discussions are unavailable yet but will be released to GameSHOUT as
soon as details are available. This could mean that there is greater hope
of success in these efforts. Upon learning of this, Rodenberry became very
enthused that the efforts must be making some headway.
Along with these efforts, there is a letter circulating among the U.S.
Congress obtaining signatures of those also wishing to save the series.
That letter is quickly gaining a great deal of support and when it is
completed making their rounds, this letter will be destined for delivery to
Paramount. This effort is designed to show Paramount Studios that this
campaign is affecting a lot of different people throughout the world,
including members of Congress. Even Bill Gates is a big Trek fan.
Eugene Rodenberry also discussed his current project, a documentary showing
the wide range of people who have been big Trek fans. He stated that he has
talked to people from all walks of life including celebrities, civic
leaders, and bikers old and young. Rodenberry stated that this project
shows that his father’s work has touched more lives in a positive way than
he ever thought was possible. No release date has been announced but will
be made aware to GameSHOUT in a future follow-up interview.
The replay of last night’s interview will be played all day on Friday (3/4)
in the Radio section of
