Paramount will continue to sue amateur Star Trek writers
Paramount Pictures does not intend to abandon its claims against the creators of the amateur movie set in the Star Trek universe. According to the Torrent Freak, this is evidenced by the legal steps taken by the studio at the end of September 2016. Thus, representatives of Paramount provided the court with documents disavowing the previous statement of the producer of the movie "Star Trek 3: Infinity" Jay Jay Abrams. "Neither Mr. Abrams, nor Mr. Lin are the legal representatives of the plaintiff in this case. The statements of the third parties on the merits of the claim have nothing to do with resolving the problem with the funds obtained by the defendants in an unlawful manner, nor do they have anything to do with any other damage caused to the plaintiff, "the studio said in a statement. As a reminder, at the end of 2015, Paramount and CBS Studios filed a joint lawsuit against the independent studio Axanar Productions, which announced its intention to shoot a movie called "Star Trek: Axanar". The authors of the project announced a fundraising by means of crowdfunding on the Kickstarter platform and raised more than a million dollars by the beginning of the legal battle. Star Trek fans were outraged by the studio's actions, and in the spring of 2016, JJ Abrams announced that Paramount had made the decision to withdraw its lawsuit, realizing that this was "not the best way to communicate with the fanbase" in the franchise's anniversary year. p> The Topic of Article: Paramount will continue to sue amateur Star Trek writers. |
