Star Trek Continues
In association with Farragut Films and Dracogen Investments, Vic Mignogna (a Farragut Films principal), is set to direct this new web series based on the original (and still the best) Star Trek series.
The premise of the series is based on the original 5-year voyage. The original series ended three years into the journey. Vic and his team are starting this new series right where the original left off.
This new series is being brought to you in partnership with Farragut Films and DracoGen Investments – creators of the award-winning web series, Starship Farragut. The series is being shot in the original 4:3 format to keep the authenticity of the framing of the original series. It is very important to us that we provide a quality show and ancillary products, such as our website. Website development is provided in association with Stupidcat.com.

Boring as dirt. It was literally putting me to sleep listening to this nonsense. Vic Mignogna doesn’t sound ANYTHING at all like Jim Kirk. Michael Bednar is as boring and wooden as ever. And Chris Doohan…well, God knows what he is doing involved with these toxic narcicisst! No doubt his father is looking down on him in disappointment and utter sadness.
Definitely not creative and professional
Scott December 7, 2012 — Post Author
Well, the fan film circuit is not for everyone, that is for sure. There are certainly Star Trek fans who are satisfied with what is out there produced by Paramount and so forth. But then there are also those who want more stories, who want to see the characters they’ve loved continue, and I believe this is where fan films most notably work. They fill the void of not having trek on the air.
Not all of them work, but all of them are done by fans like yourself that love the franchise. And of the fan films, Star Trek Continue pays the best homage to the original series.
But fan films are not for everyone. Thanks for sharing!
