Michael Dorn's Update on Capt. Worf

Post by Williamsto »

Did anyone else see Michael Dorn's AMA on Reddit? He shared some info on Star Trek: The Worf Chornicles. I put some quotes below that I thought was pertinent to the show. What's everyone's thoughts? Is the show doable? Do you think Michael Dorn could get it off the ground? Should we do another show in the Prime Universe?

Where we will know very quickly, probably Jan or Feb, if Paramount is interested Which means we will be getting a no or a yes. And that's where we are right now. Everything is set to go, in terms of the package, we've done our homework on the other projects that are out there, we also realized that a lot of other interests are doing sizzle reel. So we decided not to do a sizzle reel. It was my call, but I didn't want our sizzle reel sitting in the corner with five other ones. I also realized that how ever good they may be, Paramount still has their own ideas with what they want to do with this. We don't believe that a sizzle reel will make a difference, we believe a content will make more of a difference.

They are a violent, in a way, society, it's Shakespearian in its tone, which - there are coups, assasinations, intrigue, going on all the time. But we'll still have TNG/TOS theme, which is about: people, not special effects. Worf will be on a ship, going out in space, as TOS was/had at the forefront. We're taking the initial theme of the show, and just adding to it, this Klingon culture, which is - oh very interesting. Even when I wasn't playing Worf, I thought they were very interesting.

The proposal definitely has potential for a great series. Happy that Dorn has the energy to do it. It seems that there should be lots of broadcasters to which Paramount could sell this, now that Amazon, Netflix, etc., are all trying to create their own content. I am not sure whether any of the old networks still has a claim on the IP that could cause problems.
