SYNOPSIS:
PRELUDE TO AXANAR is
a 20 minute short film that will give viewers a historical look at the
events leading up to the Battle of Axanar, the central event of the film
Axanar, a 90 minute feature to be filmed later this year. Shot like a
History Channel special, Prelude to Axanar will be Star Trek like you have never seen it before, showing the central characters of Axanar giving
both a historical and personal account of the war. Set 20 years before
the time of James T. Kirk's command of the Enterprise, "Axanar"
is set in the last year of the Four Years War, the conflict with the
Klingons that almost saw the end of the Federation only 80 years after
its founding. How did Starfleet build its fleet? How did they hold off
a Klingon fleet that had been conquering star systems for centuries?
What role did the various founding planets play in Starfleet? Why were
the Constitution class ships so important to Starfleet? How did Garth of
Izar come to be regarded as the greatest Starfleet Captain of his time?
Set in the Star Trek universe Axanar is
a ground breaking independent film that proves the idea that a studio
doesn’t need to spend millions of dollars to produce a feature quality
production. Axanar will be the first non-CBS/Paramount produced Star Trek to look and feel like a true Star Trek movie.
The production boasts an impressive cast and crew, including Richard Hatch (Battlestar Galactica (1978 & 2004)), Tony Todd (Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Spance Nine, Candyman), Kate Vernon (Battlestar Galactica (2004)), JG Hertzler (General Martok, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine), and Gary Graham (reprising his role as Vulcan ambassador Soval (Star Trek: Enterprise)). The visual effects artist, Tobias Richter, really shows his chops in Prelude, evident in the nearly three minute trailer recently released.
The red carpet
premiere, taking place at the UA Horton Plaza 8 Movie Theater (just a 15
minute walk from the San Diego Convention Center) during the weekend of
San Diego Comicon, will be a showing of the short film "Prelude to Axanar"
followed by a 90 minute Q&A with Executive Producer/creator Alec
Peters, Director Christian Gossett and actors Richard Hatch, Gary Graham
and Kate Vernon. Tony Todd has yet to confirm.
