Let us explain what is new:</span></div><div><br></div><div><ol><li><span class="fs14.6667 ff1">New shorter url: With the change from</span><span class="fs14.6667 ff1">&nbsp;</span><b><span class="fs14.6667 ff1">startrekphase2.de</span></b><span class="fs14.6667 ff1">&nbsp;</span><span class="fs14.6667 ff1">to</span><span class="fs14.6667 ff1">&nbsp;</span><b><span class="fs14.6667 ff1">startreknewvoyages.de</span></b><span class="fs14.6667 ff1">, our domain name was just getting even longer.

It was time to improve things and we radically changed the colour scheme and made the website "responsive."</span><br><span class="fs14.6667 ff1">Responsive websites automatically adjust themselves to different screen widths. This allows the website to be both readable and useable on a variety of devices from desttop, to tablet and smartphone without having to change the url. As the screen size gets smaller, graphics and pictures are automatically removed to take account of lower bandwidth and screen space.</span><br><br></li><li><span class="fs14.6667 ff1">Updated web standards: By switching from flash to the html5 standard, we can insure our new website will work well on all portable devices.</span><br><span class="fs14.6667 ff1">Pictures, videos, graphics should all now work on any device.</span><br><br></li><li><span class="fs14.6667 ff1">Mobile app available for even faster access to the latest news. This supports Apple and Android standards as well as providing an RSS feed for all other platforms. We keep you infomed when something is new.</span><br></li></ol></div><div><br></div><div><span class="fs14.6667 ff1">The new look website applies to the English language pages at first. French, German and Spanish will follow during November.</span><br></div><div><br></div><div><span class="fs14.6667 ff1">We have put a lot of work into this new updated website and we hope you like it.</span><br><br></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span class="fs16 cf1 ff1">The Adventure Continues...</span></b></div></div>]]></description>

Kirk and the crew of the USS Enterprise, investigate.</span><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="fs16 ff1">Those of you who donated to the Kickstarter were able to see the rough cut of ‘The Holiest Thing”, in the original shoot we were unable to film scenes with our elder Scotty (Carl Sheldon) as scripted. Mr. Scott (Carl Sheldon) Has completed all his work on “The Holiest Thing” and we are working on finalizing all the new VFX, so the episode will be presented as we originally intended! Thanks to all of you for your friendship and support! The episode will be warping your way in the near future! As soon as we complete the edit, we will announce the release date on all of our social media platforms.</span></div><div><br></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><b><span class="fs18.6667 cf1 ff1">Torment of Destiny</span></b></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="fs16 ff1">Synopsis: High Priestess Natira and her husband Doctor Leonard McCoy are held captive, meanwhile after a bombing at the Federation Embassy on Lazulia Prime has left both Admiral Withrow and the mediation negotiations between the Natives and the Fabrini in critical condition, Captain Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise needs to get to the bottom of the bombing and find their missing officer.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="fs16 ff1">As soon as “The Holiest Thing” is out of post-production, work can approach warp speed on “Torment of Destiny”.

			<title><![CDATA[Torment of Destiny in post production!]]></title>
			<link>http://www.stnv.de/fr/news-torment.php</link>
			<description><![CDATA[<div id="imRSSArticle_7g1p9a6n"><div><span class="fs16 ff1">“Torment of Destiny” is the thirteenth episode of Star Trek New Voyages and is written by Rick Chambers. This episode is a sequel to the original series episode “For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky”. Rivkah Raven Wood guest stars as Natira, the High Priestess of Yonada, Clay Sayre as President Ro’Kail, Rebecca Larken as To’Rya, and special guest star Richard Hatch (Captain Apollo from the original Battlestar Galactica) as Orthros.&nbsp; The crew painstakingly recreated the Oracle Room set from the original episode. Natira’s wig and dress were also recreated to near perfection.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span class="fs16 ff1">Production of this latest episode began July 10th and ended July 24th on location and at the Desilu Studios in Ticonderoga, New York.&nbsp;</span></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><b><span class="fs18.6667 cf1 ff1">Here is a quick synopsis of the episode:</span></b><br></div><div><br></div><div><span class="fs16 ff1">Slightly over a year ago, Doctor McCoy was healed by the ancient medical knowledge of the Fabrini, a long awaited reunion between McCoy and his wife Natira is interrupted, as negotiations with the local government are in process there is a bomb, McCoy missing… Can the crew of the Enterprise solve this mystery and locate McCoy and Natira before it’s too late?</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><b>Director's Comments:</b></div><div><span class="fs16 ff1">Hey folks. So the stats are in: we shot for 14.5 days and a total of 230 hours of a 68 page script which means we did, roughly 4.86 pages a day. A strong contrast to last year which was 11 days (with one entire day lost waiting on wardrobe/sets) on a 72 page script with 175 hours for roughly 6.5 pages a day.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span class="fs16 ff1">From the minutes after we printed the first shot on the 9th of Kirk’s communicator sliding to a stop in that crazy narrow depth of field shot on the Red One, this shoot was an uphill battle. Brutal. Exhilarating. Filled with victories and horrific defeats. So very different to me than last year…which, while brutal, was victory after victory – BUILDING on victory. Yet, still, I want to declare that with the exception of some simple b-roll bits which can easily be shot anywhere any time, we HAVE THIS IN THE CAN and you’re going to love it!! I also think that it may very well be the best episode yet.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span class="fs16 ff1">To all of you who were there for any length of time adding your assets, resources, time and efforts to this production, I salute you, and thank you from the bottom of my heart. From PA, interns, assistants, builders, makeup, hair, lighting, electric, camera and producers, you were all valiant heroes.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span class="fs16 ff1">I now move back to finishing ‘The Holiest Thing,’ and the telling of that story. Thank you all.</span></div><div><span class="fs16 ff1">Let’s shoot…again soon.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span class="fs16 ff1">– Mark Edward Lewis</span></div><div><span class="fs16 ff1">Director, “Torment of Destiny”</span></div></div>]]></description>

			<link>http://www.stnv.de/fr/news-newvoyages.php</link>
			<description><![CDATA[<div id="imRSSArticle_qj92qzw2"><span class="fs16">Return to the original "New Voyages" name on June 9, 2015</span><div><br></div><div><span class="fs16">As a bit of an homage to that old Star Trek: The New Voyages book, we decided to release “Mind-Sifter” under our "Star Trek: New Voyages" moniker, rather than our "Star Trek: Phase II" moniker. Further, for a variety of reasons, this episode plays better as an episode that takes place during the The Original Series (TOS) era–back during the first three years of Captain Kirk’s five-year mission, rather than during the two later years of his mission.  </span></div><div><br></div><div><span class="fs16">On 9 June 2015, James Cawley announced on Trekbbs that "We are officially NEW VOYAGES and the Phase II moniker has been dropped." As many fans had commented that they actually preferred the name "New Voyages," we have reverted back to that name and all future apisodes will now be released under the "New Voyages" name.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span class="fs16">Two new logos are now used to represent our series. The first one is used to just represent New Voyages on new episodes, etc. The second logo combines both the New Voyages and Phase II in order to represent that both names have been used by us.</span></div></div>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<div id="imRSSArticle_gx542xj0"><p style="text-align: left;"><span class="fs20"><span class="ff1 cf0">As <a href="http://www.startrekphase2.de/" target="_blank" class="imCssLink">www.startrekphase2.de</a> is the official download mirror for the United Kingdom and Germany, all downloads offered are hosted on a high-speed server based in Strassbourg (France) run by Server4you. When Kitumba was released for download on New Year's day, many American visitors complained about long download times of up to four hours.<br /><br />These long times were mainly due to the fact that hundreds of people were trying to download Kitumba at the same time, but also the long distances played a role. <br /><br />We have therefore setup new download links that allow visitors to select a download location of either America or Europe. This is currently only available on the English language version of our website.<br /><br />We hope this allows our American friends to be able to download our episodes even faster.<br /><br />We have also setup a special page (experimental) where our American friends can watch Kitumba online, where the video stream comes from a US-server, too.</span></span><span class="ff0 fs20"><br /></span></p></div>]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Beaming to The Enterprise… An interview with Pony Horton]]></title>
			<link>http://www.stnv.de/fr/index.php</link>
			<description><![CDATA[<div id="imRSSArticle_88uhe1gd">Hello, fellow Trek fans… I am very proud to say that this new interview with a dear friend is up… Pony Horton, VFX Artist and Extra for Star Trek: Phase 2 and Back to the Wild Wild West. This is from an interview I did with Pony in 2011, with some revisions for 2013<div><br></div><div><br></div><div><span class="fs16">1.What is it that you do for your “day job”, if you can talk about it.</span><br></div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>Pony Horton: Not as much as I used to. I am in the process of getting Disability, due to some old, bad neck injuries, as well as dealing with having advanced AIDS. However, I still do my video editing, and some VFX work, and the occasional acting job, and I’m slowly trying to build a resume as an actor.</div><div><br></div><div>But, recently, for example, I’ve had the great pleasure of editing and creating VFX for a number of adventure documentaries and smaller videos for adventure companies and groups that do kayak safaris in Tanzania, or the Day Of Adventure in Chiapas, Mexico. I also am re-doing some of my original VFX work on an award-winning documentary film titled RESCUE MEN: THE STORY OF THE PEA ISLAND LIFE-SAVERS. I am thrilled that this film has just been made required viewing in one of our local school districts! The U.S. Coast Guard even christened a new vessel the RICHARD ETHERIDGE, after the main subject of RESCUE MEN. I’m really honored to have done something that people can refer-to and learn from for, hopefully, generations to come!</div><div>  </div><div> </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>2. What is your connection to Star Trek? and how has it affected your life?</div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>PH: I started watching STAR TREK during its original run in the late 1960′s. I was eight years old when the show premiered. By 1970 I had all the model kits, by 1973 I had the books by David Gerrold and Stephen Whitfield, and was a full-blown fan. My mom was a science fiction fan, and in our home we also loved LOST IN SPACE, VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA, U.F.O., TWILIGHT ZONE, OUTER LIMITS, GENESIS II/QUESTOR, THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN, SPACE 1999, etc.</div><div><br></div><div>By 1979 I was an apprentice/janitor at Van der Veer Photo Effects, one of the great old optical houses that created many of STAR TREK’s VFX. So, for me STAR TREK has always been a major factor in my life. My grandma Katherine made me my first Command uniform when I was 16, out of real velour. And I still have the Lincoln Enterprises Command Delta patch I got for that uniform in 1974.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>3. How did you first hear of Star Trek: New Voyages/Phase 2?</div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>PH: I had just completed an Indiana Jones-styled short film, and after I posted it on the web, I saw reference links to other “fan films,” as they were called. I had never heard of this before. I started hunting around the web for more, and very quickly came across STAR TREK NEW VOYAGES. They had only just finished TO SERVE ALL MY DAYS, and a few months later it hit the web. Walter Koenig was my college acting teacher, and we had stayed friends, so I was really blown away by the quality of the work, and wanted to get involved. They brought me in to do VFX on BLOOD &amp; FIRE, and I was invited to come out for the shooting of KITUMBA, to play the part of K’Sia, the Klingon professor.</div><div> </div><div>  </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>4. “Kitumba” was your first go around at a shoot, what was it like, and what have you done for P2</div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>PH: KITUMBA was a trial by fire. It was kinda fun, but I was very intimidated. It was not my first shoot by a longshot as I had done a LOT of directing over the years, but here I was the new kid in this already-established family, and I felt really out of my element. Everyone was very nice (with only one or two exceptions whom I won’t name, and they’re no longer part of the group anyway) but I have to thank Doc John, James Cawley, Charles Root, and Gil Gerard for noticing that I was in some distress and taking the time to help me work through the feelings of inadequacy I was experiencing.</div><div><br></div><div>I also noticed that there were none of the images or paintings I had seen on some of the walls of the original Enterprise, like the starscape image in the Transporter Room, so I offered to paint them, and that seemed to endear me to the group. So far I’ve created most of the non-spaceship VFX on the show since THE CHILD, like set extension matte paintings, graphics on computer screens, phaser beams, and of course my Transporter effects, which was originally my main job on PHASE II.</div><div> </div><div><br></div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>5. What is your favorite memory of being on set or just hanging around with the crew?</div><div><br></div><div>PH: There are a lot of great memories. Making fun BTS videos with my friend Chris LaRoche and his son, Matthew. Chris and I and Matt and Mike Stearn have a habit of wearing fedora hats to the shoots, so we have become The Hat Squad. Freaking people out with my bullwhip skills is always fun. Wandering around Port Henry is always delightful. One time I walked into the Green Room to find a bit of a hubbub going on. Turns out a Little Brown bat (which are very common in most of the U.S.) had managed to fly into the room, and could not find its way out. The rest of the group was rather stunned when I simply grabbed my T-shirt and used it as a glove to grab the bat, who was clinging to a wall. I showed him around a little (he WAS kinda cute with his turned-up little snout and his pointy-sharp teeth) and I let him go outside. Getting to become friends with these people is one of the best general memories. I remember once, I had taken a Coke out of the freezer in the Green Room, and without knowing it had been shaken-up before I grabbed it, I cracked it open and a second later it became a gusher! Well, without any rags or towels around, the first thing I did, as fast as possible, was to shove the bottle into my mouth! Well, the gusher kept gushing, and my cheeks began to fill up with ever-expanding Coca-Cola. James just happened to be walking toward me, and he sees what is, essentially, a live-action cartoon moment happening right in front of him, and starts laughing uncontrollably! By now I’m looking like Louis Armstrong with his cheeks all puffed-out while blowing the trumpet, and the stuff is almost erupting out of my ears! All I could do was keep gulping, while trying to give James my Patented Death Glare (TM). Needless to say, it was very funny.</div><div> </div><div>One thing that I love to remember is how great and strange it felt to FINALLY be standing at the actual Transporter control console. The Transporter effect is one of the things that attracted me to TREK in the first place. The magic of being able to BEAM somewhere! And here I was, finally, LIVING it! I will admit, I would go into that set when nobody else was around, and pretend (complete with mouth-made sound effects) that I was beaming people places. Since I create the Transporter Effect for the show, I jokingly refer to the Transporter Room as My Office. The rest of the group has dubbed it The Pony Express!</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>6. In your own words, how would you describe both the atmosphere on set and the realization of a dream that many dream but few can say they have experienced</div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>PH: The atmosphere on-set is hectic and professional, but also fun. We have a new director, Mark Burchett, and he keeps the work going and keeps the fun quotient up. To me the realization of the dream is both kinda magical, and a bit of cold water in the face. It’s a set, like most other movie sets, so in that respect it’s all cardboard and MDF and plywood and masonite. You realize, with a bit of a letdown, that none of it’s real. BUT, with that in mind, the first time I stepped onto the Bridge, I sat down at Chekov’s station and casually hit a button on the console, and the whole console suddenly LIT-UP and CAME TO LIFE! A was really startled by that, and quite delighted! Same thing at Spock’s Science station, Uhura’s Communications, Kirk’s chair, etc. So in that respect, there was little need to pretend. The Bridge set really WORKS!</div><div><br></div><div>The fact that I’ve been officially stationed there as Navigator during one or two episodes, in full Starfleet uniform, is literally living a 45-year dream!</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><span class="fs16">7. Is it really a “family” as some people have described?</span><br></div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>PH: Yes, very much so, with all of the positive and negative aspects implied. We all like, and even love, each other, and tend to get along quite well, but like any family there are occasional conflicts. But we all stay in touch on the phone and on-line, and honestly I think they may have saved my life. I lost most of the people closest to me, all in just the last two years, to death. Two of them were brutally murdered, another was allowed to die in a coma due to a lack of financial resources. I am still having a very hard time with this, and if it had not been for this group that has become a new family to me, I don’t think I’d be here now.</div><div> </div><div> </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>8. What is it about the original Star Trek that carries on even today in your opinion?</div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>PH: That’s hard to say, as today’s youth have not “gotten it’ when it comes to Roddenberry’s idea of a hopeful future. The new TREK movie, for example, is a fun ride with nicely-realized characters. But it was devoid of the hopeful message that Roddenberry was trying to convey. It was all about the coolness, the fights, and the VFX. Of course, Leonard Nimoy was top-notch as always, and I liked his take on Spock in the film. But it doesn’t really make-up for the lack of a proper story. Great VFX and dazzling moments do not a great film make, it has to come down to great STORY. I think PHASE II is much closer to what Roddenberry intended, storywise and moralistically, than the 2009 movie was.</div><div><br></div><div>So, that message does carry on with me, but I really fear it has been lost on the younger ones today. They’re too cynical, too inured to the harsh realities of life today to accept such a positive message without a lot of skepticism.</div><div> </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>9. Are you amazed at the volume and quality if the Trek episodes that RFS produces? And do you see an end in sight for the 5-year mission?</div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>PH: I am not amazed at either. We don’t put out as many episodes as we would like simply due to the practicalities and difficulties of doing an expensive, all-volunteer production. The quality is top-notch as far as I’m concerned. I hope there’s no end to the mission. There should not be, as long as we get great stories to tell.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>10. What part did you play in “No-Win Scenario” coming back from the dead</div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>PH: John Carrigan asked me if I would like to create the VFX on the film, and I said YES! That’s basically it, I created all the VFX you see, as well as the DVD cover art. Tobias Richter, who handles a lot of our VFX, was kind enough to help me on some shots as well.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>11. Are there any other projects you are working on? Whether it is Star Trek or Something else</div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>PH: Yes, I’ve just finished a fan film of my own, a vignette based on STAR TREK: PHASE II !! It’s a comedy short (Comedy similar to TROUBLE WITH TRIBBLES or A PIECE OF THE ACTION, only a bit crazier) that will be hitting the web on Christmas Eve, 2011. It has been put up on the PHASE II website. It’s titled “1701 PENNSYLVANIA AV.” So, it’s basically a fan film based on a fan production!</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>12. Any other thoughts you’d like to share with our readers? If you’d like to promote something you are in or are interested in here.</div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>PH: I’d like to thank you for the chance to discuss PHASE II and my work, and I want to express my great good feelings for everyone involved in PHASE II ! </div><div>Well, my website is new to the Phase II crowd, so it’s…</div><div>www.gravityarchmedia.com</div><div><br></div><div>And I’m doing high-end book trailers if any authors or publishers need one.</div><div> </div><div>Here is an aside: Here are two podcasts that Pony was on:</div><div>http://www.blogtalkradio.com/wams/2013/06/18/hollywood-filmaker-pony-horton</div><div>http://visionary-entertainment.blogspot.com/2009/03/best-friends-special-effects-and.html</div><div><br></div><div>——————————END TRANSMISSION———————————-</div><div><br></div><div>All right Ladies and Gents, that will do it for today… I want to Thank Pony for the pleasure of interviewing him. Second, please watch 1701 Pennsylvania Ave, And see Pony guest starring as K’Sia in “Kitumba” and the upcoming episode “Bread and Savagery” as Justinus Casius… not to mention his VFX shots in all the upcoming episodes… Until Next Time Trek fans</div></div>]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Bridge to Engineering… Mr. Scott? An interview with Charles Root]]></title>
			<link>http://www.stnv.de/fr/news-charlesroot.php</link>
			<description><![CDATA[<div id="imRSSArticle_nk611720">Today I am honored to say that I have Charles Root here to talk to the blog:<div> </div><div><br></div><div>1.What is it that you do for your “day job”, if you can talk about it</div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>I am the Director of Technology for an Intellectual Property company called IPCG, in Williston Vermont. We consult with large corporations on patents, trade secrets, that sort of stuff. I’ve been here for 11+ years.</div><div> </div><div> </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>2. What is your connection to Star Trek? and how has it affected your life?</div><div> </div><div>This will probably come as sacrilege to many a Trekker that look at Trek as almost a religion, but for me my only connection to Star Trek, is that it is enjoyable science fiction. I never bought in to Roddenberry’s humanism or the whole “The future will be a better place” aspect of Trek. I liked Star Trek because of the Enterprise and the power of her weapons ripping Romulan warbirds apart, and Kirk kicking ass, and Spock being so smart.</div><div><br></div><div>I would say though that Star Trek has pronouncedly affected my life, in that had I never enjoyed the TV show, I probably wouldn’t have been introduced to other Sci-Fi and fantasy properties, that exposure got me involved with computers in the 80’s and that is how I now make a living. Plus of course I never would be part of Phase 2 if Star Trek wasn’t part of my life.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>3. How did you first hear of Star Trek: New Voyages/Phase 2?</div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>Randomly found it on the Internet one day while searching for information on Star Trek: TNG, didn’t even know it was being filmed an hour from my house. Started following it on the web, and then saw a local news story discussing the project and that it was in Ticonderoga. Dropped the production an e-mail, turns out I had actually met James Cawley a decade earlier.</div><div> </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>4. “In Harm’s Way” was your first go around as Scotty, how hard is it to be the character and do you think you have gotten better with each performance?</div><div><br></div><div>Scotty was always one of my favorite characters, as I said Trek for me was the Enterprise 1701, so I gravitated towards Scotty as he “owns” the Enterprise, regardless of what Kirk or Starfleet thinks!</div><div> </div><div>Acting the part of Scotty which was made particularly iconic with James Doohan’s “Scottish” accent has to say the least been a challenge. You don’t want to come off as mimicking Doohan, but if you stray too far away his original interpretation then you really don’t have the Scotty character any longer, you just have an engineer from Scotland.</div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>Then of course there’s the issue with accent, where everyone on the planet seems to think they’re a master linguist, and can give you pointers on how to sound more “Scottish”, that can get old after a while.</div><div> </div><div> </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>5. What is your favorite memory of being on set or just hanging around with the crew?</div><div><br></div><div>There has been many times I’ve been in tears laughing from interaction on the set with my friends, that is always enjoyable and memorable. There’s the times working with Trek alum like George Takei when it’s almost surreal, but there is one specific time that stands out in my mind.</div><div> </div><div>The 360 degree bridge set was being prepped for shooting a scene, it was cleaned up, freshly painted, and all the internal lights were on, but no other lighting equipment had been set up yet. The consoles were powered up and blinking away, the helm glowed softly. Overhead the large light diffuser covered most set. I was the only person there. If there was one single time during all my shooting with Phase 2 that I was transported to the 23rd century it was then. It really felt like I was walking on to the bridge of an operational Starship.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><span class="fs11">6. In your own words, how would you describe both the atmosphere on set and the realization of a dream that many dream but few can say they have experienced</span><br></div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>Honestly, it’s hectic. We shoot with almost no money, in a cramped, somewhat rundown space, it’s hot, or cold, there’s always one more set to work on, or technical issue to deal with, the days are long, and if you’re not shooting it can be very boring just sitting quietly while the camera’s roll, BUT it’s the final product that makes that all worth it. When you watch something like “World Enough and Time” or “Kitumba” you really get the satisfaction of seeing the sacrifice turned in to entertainment.</div><div> </div><div>As far as living the dream, I am truly blessed in many, many ways. It humbles me to know that I experience what others can only imagine.</div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>7. Is it really a “family” as some people have described it? And has anyone pulled a prank on you?</div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>It’s a very interesting dynamic on the set. As we’ve grown, we bring in people that may only be there for one shoot, and there may be 100+ people at the studio, so I can’t honestly say everyone feels like “family”. Are there friends that I would do anything for? Absolutely, that’s your family core.Are there friends that are like drinking buddies? There sure are. Are there people that are more like work colleagues? Certainly. Are there people that I can’t stand? Sadly there are, but that’s just the nature of having some many diverse people around. I challenge anyone to bring as many people together as we do and have them feel the same about every single person.</div><div><br></div><div>Yes there has been pranks, one involving the “Scotty” voodoo doll stands out, I think we need to go no further there, LOL!</div><div> </div><div> </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>8. What is it about the original Star Trek that carries on even today in your opinion?</div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>Classic science fiction for some, the positive message for others. There’s also part of becoming a cultural icon that keeps Star Trek in the collective memory of society.</div><div> </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>9. Are you amazed at the volume and quality if the Trek episodes that RFS produces? And do you see an end in sight for the 5-year mission?</div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>Given the talent that is involved with our production, no the quality doesn’t amaze me, that should be given. As we approach 10 episodes either done or in some point of production, you do have to be amazed that we have pumped out that many based completely on the generosity of others and our own hard labor.</div><div><br></div><div>I only see an end to our efforts if financially we simply cannot go on. It’s sad to think that if we could simply charge 99 cents for a download of the episodes, or sell a DVD box set of the episodes for say $14.99 given our download numbers we would literally make millions for CBS and for RFS. I could then give a core group of actors and crew good paying jobs and make 12 episodes are year no problem, ah but likely only a dream….</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>10. Are there any other projects you are working on? Whether it is Star Trek or Something else</div><div><br></div><div>There is quite a few things that I’ve got going on. In the entertainment industry you really need a lot of “pokers in the fire”. Under the RFS banner, regardless of talk to the contrary, Buck Rogers is not dead, we hope to move on that soon. There is also a completely independent and new Science Fiction franchise that RFS has begun discussing with the author to bring to life. You may also see a peak of me in the Wild Wild West episode that RFS is producing.</div><div><br></div><div>I’m also involved with a film company in Atlanta, GA called Digital New Age Entertainment, and a film I worked on 4 or 5 years ago called “Operation Dead 1” has had some discussion on being rewritten with the sequel and made in to a new film called “Vector” , the premise of Zombies and computers is very, very cool.</div><div> </div><div>I’m also working on a graphic novel with Bill Lutz called “Mars Vs Earth – The Solar War Chronicles” It is set in the year 2262 A.D. and a war between an Earth and newly independent and colonized Mars, really heats up when alien technology is found.</div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>Plus, on a totally different entertainment track, I’m designing a very large Casino for construction in Las Vegas, that I hope to pitch to some associates I have in the gaming industry</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>11. Any other thoughts you’d like to share with our readers? If you’d like to promote something you are in or are interested in here.</div><div><br></div><div>Yes, I’ve been working to merge my two worlds of Intellectual Property and the Entertainment Industry, in that effort I have written a piece on how each can benefit from the other, more information and links to the article are here:&nbsp;<span class="fs11">http://www.ipcg.com/?file=Hollywood_IP</span></div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>Thank you!</div></div>]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[An interview with Captain Kirk… Brian Gross]]></title>
			<link>http://www.stnv.de/fr/news-briangross.php</link>
			<description><![CDATA[<div id="imRSSArticle_6m20229b">This article and interview with Brian were written on the last day of filming of his first episode of Star Trek: Phase II, “Bread and Savagery” in June 2012:<div><br></div><div><span class="fs11">While at the shoot we had the re-launch that James Cawley has been hinting at… and no I will not tell you all the itty bitty details. One of the surprises that was revealed and I am now allowed to tell you is… James has cast Brian Gross as the legendary Captain James T. Kirk.</span><br></div><div> </div><div>Having worked with James, I was skeptical at first about a new Captain taking the center seat, after-all besides William Shatner, James has been MY Captain Kirk. But after 2 weeks of hanging out and working with Brian, I can tell you not only does he act like Captain Kirk, but he looks like Captain Kirk. And so direct from the set… I give you Brian Gross</div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>1. Brian, thank you for joining me, let’s get into it… Are you a Star Trek fan?</div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>I was not a Star Trek fan, I have seen several episodes and now have an appreciation for it. But I am not a Star Trek fan to the level of fan we have here at the studio.</div><div><br></div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>2. How is it you are coming to Phase 2?</div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>James was working really hard behind the scenes to find someone to replace him as Jim Kirk, Mark Burchett who directed this particular episode had me in mind for the part called Bill Devers who got in contact with me. And the rest as they say is history.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>3. How does it feel now that you have stepped into the role that William Shatner, James Cawley and Chris Pine have made famous?</div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>It was pretty nerve racking, knowing the great actors that have gone before in the role and knowing that Star Trek fans are very critical of every aspect of a Production whether it is done by CBS/Paramount or done by fans. But, as the experience started I was welcomed into a family, not knowing what to expect and now I am completely comfortable with the cast and crew that we have because not only are we there to work but we have fun.</div><div><br></div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>4. Have you seen any of the Phase 2 episodes?</div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>I saw the one with George Takei (World Enough and Time), and was impressed by the level of story telling and acting that went on during the episode. I have also seen a bunch of the Original Series episodes to prepare for the role of Captain Kirk.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><span class="fs11">5. Who did you have fun/ enjoyed working with during the episode?</span><br></div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>I enjoyed all the personalities that were on the set but I think my favorite parts would have to be the stuff with Brandon Stacy (Spock) and Doc John (Dr. McCoy). Especially the beam down stuff, because it shows the bond between the characters.</div><div><br></div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>6. What do you think of James and the Production re-creating the Original Star Trek?</div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>It’s great! Everyone is very detail oriented…with lines, sets, costumes. It is refreshing to have a bunch of people who care so much about the product that they are producing and want to make it the best it can be.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>7. What can you say about your experience so far?</div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>It was really important to bond with the crew, we were filming both an episode and a vignette during the shoot. The Vignette it was very important that the whole crew be present for the speech I was giving, because it is about change and family. And, this group whether you are new or old is a family. And besides being greeted with applause when I came into the studio and was introduced, this was the moment that I felt I was a part of this family, because even though I was not there for the losses that they had, I felt that I experienced them too.</div><div> </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>8. Any Last Thoughts?</div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>I really hope that there is more to come, I hope the fans enjoy my performance and the episodes overall. As we go further and do more episodes I feel I will get better and more comfortable in time, and we will raise the bar each time as James has decreed, and I can’t wait for that!</div><div><br></div><div><span class="fs11">—————END TRANSMISSION———————–</span><br></div><div> </div><div>I want to thank Brian and the whole Star Trek Phase 2 production for everyone’s time. Look for Brian’s episodic debut as Captain Kirk in “The Holiest Thing” written by Rick Chambers, Release Date: TBA, on November 22… Stay Tuned!</div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>Until next time my friends… Live Long and Prosper, Look for the next post from the crew of Star Trek: Phase II</div><div><br></div></div>]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Details and pictures from The Child]]></title>

			<description><![CDATA[<div id="imRSSArticle_rmabcdef"><p style="text-align: left;"><span class="ff0 fs20">The Phase II team has struck up quite a relationship with Jon Povill, the writer of &quot;The Child.&quot; Jon was never really happy with how his story got revised and realized on TNG. So this is an opportunity to get the story made the way Jon originally wanted it--and he's even directing it.<br /><br />So, in this case, it's not that we'll get James and Company's unique spin; it's that we'll get the unique spin that Jon Povill the writer had intended in the first place. So how will the story be different? What is it that Jon wanted to say that didn't get said back in TNG? Wait and see....<br /><br />We are also showing some exclusive pictures from the filming of The Child, courtesy of James Cawley.<br /></span></p></div>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<div id="imRSSArticle_opabcdef"><p style="text-align: left;"><span class="ff0 fs20">Star Trek: Phase II's sixth episode launched into production in June, with principle photography taking place from June 15-June 25th at Retro Film Studios in upstate New York. Veteran actress and Star Trek alumni Barbara Luna (&quot;Marlena Moreau&quot; of &quot;Mirror, Mirror&quot;) joined the cast of &quot;Enemy: Starfleet&quot; as as a space terrorist that steals a starship and retro-engineers it to create a marauding fleet. &quot;Luna&quot; had this to say about her experience: &quot;...my discovery was that your special love and devotion for Star Trek with a loyalty that lives in your hearts, which gives you a very deep connection to each other, allowing everyone in your presence to feel that joy. ...it is an experience worth treasuring forever...&quot;<br /><br />The production of the episode, written by prolific Trek novelist Dave Galanter and award winning fanfic writer Patty Wright, was hampered by acts of nature, but Senior Executive Producer James Cawley is thrilled with what was accomplished. &quot;What I'm seeing is flawless: the best we've ever done&quot;<br /></span></p></div>]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[New Teaser Trailer for Blood and Fire]]></title>
			<link>http://www.stnv.de/fr/4x04-5_blood_and_fire.php</link>
			<description><![CDATA[<div id="imRSSArticle_ooabcdef"><p style="text-align: left;"><span class="ff0 fs20">A new 3:44 minute teaser trailer has just been released for the upcoming Star Trek Phase II (aka New Voyages) fan film episode &quot;Blood and Fire&quot; by David Gerrold.<br /><br />This episode was an original script for season 1 of TNG, and approved by Gene Roddenberry, but the studios did not make it as the portrayal of gay crew members and AIDS was seen to be too controversial. The story has been rewritten for the Star Trek New Voyages, now renamed to Phase II, fan film series and has received excellent reviews at its preliminary showing at the Shore Leave convention in the USA.<br /><br />The first episode of this two part story is due to be released online on 20 December 2008.<br /></span></p></div>]]></description>
