Confirman nueva serie para TV de Star Trek

Prepárate para regresar al espacio, la última frontera; CSB confirmó finalmente los rumores de que por ahí viene una nueva serie de televisión en el universo de Star Trek, programada para estrenar en el 2017.

Sin embargo, este nuevo proyecto será el primer programa original de CBS All Access, un servicio de streaming del canal:

El nuevo programa será la primera serie original desarrollada específicamente para las audiencias estadounidenses de CBS All Access, un servicio de streaming multiplataforma que trae a los espectadores miles de episodios de las actuales y pasadas temporadas de la CBS, además de la capacidad para transmitir su estación local de CBS Televisión en directo por $ 5.99 al mes. CBS All Access ya ofrece todos los episodios de todas las anteriores series de televisión de “Star Trek”.

El comunicado de prensa no específica pero, si menciona que no estará relacionado a Star Trek Beyond, la nueva película en camino en el 2016:

El nuevo “Star Trek” introducirá nuevos personajes en busca de nuevos mundos imaginativos y nuevas civilizaciones, mientras que la exploración de temas contemporáneos dramáticos que han sido una firma de la franquicia desde su creación en 1966.

Como el recomienzo del 2009 dirigido por J.J. Abrams básicamente produjo un nuevo universo alterno, habrá que esperar si este programa ocurre en esta nueva línea temporal o es un regreso a la conocida.

57cf9434-328e-461f-9790-f3fd9e9ec432Ahora la noticia menos buena: Alex Kurtzman producirá esta iteración televisiva. Para los que no lo conozcan, Kurtzman es un controversial productor al que muchos le adjudican las peores decisiones creativas de otros proyectos, incluyendo recientemente Star Trek Into Darkness, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, y unas cuantas más.

Por otro lado, se trata de algo a lo que le van a meter mucho cuidado y cariño pues CBS se monto en el juego de los servicios streaming asi que estoy seguro que harán todo lo posible por que sea a la par con el legado de Roddenberry.

¿Qué dicen ustedes?

Este es el comunicado de prensa (vía collider) de CBS:
