Will ST Continues to half hour episodes now? Axanar

Paramount, CBS Settle ‘Star Trek’ Fan Film Lawsuit http://www.thewrap.com/paramount-cbs-settle-star-trek-fan-film-lawsuit/

As part of the settlement, Peters has agreed to make “substantial changes” to “Axanar” and also affirmed that future “Star Trek” fan films produced by him or his company will follow the “Guidelines for Fan Films” distributed by CBS and Paramount in June 2016.

Axanar Productions released a statement of its own, saying the settlement allowed the company to continue to show its “Axanar” prequel, “Prelude to Axanar,” commercial-free on YouTube and that it would be permitted to produce its “Axanar” feature film as two 15-minute segments that could be distributed on YouTube without ads.

Half hour-- ok--

Sure they'll make a half hour version.

But I'm pretty sure they'll make the whole thing as planned. So when the time comes, they will have the whole movie to release down the road when hopefully things change.

THey will just keep the all the extra/additional footage in a file cabinet somewhere.

Axanar no longer has the time or funds left or resources to make more then their half hour film. I would be surprised if they even have *that* much left....

Prelude to Axanar (2014) was released two and half years ago! Axanar must have finished filming in the mean time, the sets were already built.
