Project Hail Mary writer Andy Weir has revealed he had a Star Trek show pitch rejected, and fans really aren't happy.
‘s future remains somewhat without shape. We know Paramount has vowed to prioritize the franchise, and that there’s a brand new movie on the way, but aside from wrapping up a few seasons for already canceled shows, there are no, it feels a lot like the Alex Kurtzman era of Trek is over.
When the dust settles, the era might be more defined by discourse around the shows than the shows themselves. And a new update on a lost project has kicked off even more.– which will rank alongside the best sci-fis of the decade when it ends – author Andy Weir has just revealed incredibly frustrating news. He spoke on a podcast alongside the movie’s release and revealed that he had pitched a Star Trek show to Kurtzman and Paramount, and had been rejected:show to Paramount, and I was in Zoom with the showrunners with all the shows and spent a lot of time talking to . I don’t like a lot of the new. He, as a person, is a really nice guy. But at the same time, those shows are sh*t. He is a nice guy. But they didn’t accept my pitch so, you know, f*ck ’em.”Weir does seem to hold something of a grudge, as the quote above reveals, and a lot of the fandom conversation around his comments echo that sentiment. And that’s particularly interesting to consider when you realize his “those shows are sh*t” comments don’t align with his own praise of several Kurtzman-erathen? Weird is a fan, clearly, and his approach to making science accessible is absolutely something that could shepherd in a new era ofsays “Unless he can delegate writing a human woman to another writer, pass.” And another actually questions whether his style would suitBoth comments reflect wider discussions – a lot of which is focused on the perceived failure of Artemis to hit the heights ofAnd it’s important to consider these voices in the discussion, but I can’t help but worry that Star Trek failed its fans by not at least advancing the pitch to a pilot. Perhaps the new regime at Paramount might revisit?7 Cancelled Adult Animated Shows From the ’90s That Need a Reboot Now, RankedForget Darth Vader & Kylo Ren, Star Wars’ Best Villain Redemption Arc Is Hidden In Disney’s TV Show With 98% on RT This Classic 1970s TV Show With Over 200 Episodes Rewrote the Rules of Sitcoms 30 Years Ago Today, Friends Wrote Out 1 of Its Best Supporting Characters
