New Star Trek TV Show Could Draw On The Bryan Pool - Messrs. Fuller And Singer Talking About Collaborating

[Brendon Connelly]

Bryans Fuller and Singer have each, individually, attempted to develop new TV versions of Star Trek in the past - and once upon a time, Fuller wrote for Deep Space Nine and Voyager.

Now that they've been teamed up on the modern-day Munsters reboot, Mockingbird Lane, the chaps have apparently come to realise that two Bryans are better than one.

Aint It Cool have spoken with Fuller, and report that he and Singer have:

discussed the possibility of pooling their resources to take a new corner of Gene Roddenberry?s multiverse to the small screen. Hopefully J.J. Abrams and Les Moonves will give them the keys to Starfleet HQ.

Is it likely?

I don't see why it would be impossible. If they're set on charting a "new corner" of the 'verse, then there shouldn't be any clash with the Abrams movies. And don't these big integrated companies like brand synergy across different media? You know, from a helicopter blue sky view when they're thinking outside of the box (and other bullshit management speak).

The pilot for Mockingbird Lane has been written by Fuller and directed by Singer. I'd expect it to be pretty good - and if it's also a hit, it certainly won't hurt their chances of getting Trek back on the air.

Please be a Starfleet Academy series!!

If they do team up for STAR TREK, maybe we'll FINALLY get a gay character in the history of Star Trek. TRILL DON'T COUNT.

Like both these gentlemen, so I'd be for this.

Didn't know Singer is directing Not The Munsters pilot. So we know it'll look good, at least (Wasn't Singer the good luck charm for "House"? Well, that the American Idol bump...)

...I can see it now: the series gets greenlit, sets are built, casting is halfway finished on the pilot, then some Muslim terrorist group pulls another 9/11 stunt, a supposedly depressed Singer uses it as an excuse to go do some other project, and the whole thing collapses just like the first attempt to relaunch Battlestar Ponderosa. Hell, that bimbo Bonnie Hamner will probably be in the middle of it all, pushing her "Biodome Trek" alternative.

We're doomed, Data! Oh the pain, the pain!

And the details behind the proposal, by the man who actually wrote it (not Bryan Singer): @ POCKET FULL OF MUMBLES: REEL TALK: STAR TREK: FEDERATION: BRYAN SINGER &.... me?

[notthathard]

Eww, I don't like that proposal. Hopefully none of that makes it into this series.

Last I checked Bonnie Hammer still worked for Universal. She would have no involvement with a new Trek show from CBS/Paramount.

And I have at least some respect for her. She was the exec smart enough to realize USA Network needed to bring Raw back. /wrestling mark statements
