Wanted to share this with Science Fiction Aficionados viewing here:

Space Command

Brainchild of Marc Scott Zicree Writer (“Star Trek”, “Sliders”, “Babylon 5”, “Forever Knight”, “Star Trek: “World Enough In Time”) he is producing a series of new independent movies (no movie mogul suits involved!)

Along with with Doug Drexler (Visual Effects) and Neil Johnson (Producer Director)
Many Star Trek, and other Sci-Fi stars have committed to do episodes with Marc and his team, such as George Takei, Armin Shimmerman, Doug Jones, Ethan Philips, Billy Mummy, Rachel Lutrell.

AniMajik Productions, (my company) is a proud backer of this project (you can too!)

I’m glad to hear Marc will “Get it Done!”  (The Space Command Motto!)

Looks interesting, thanks for the info. Kickstarter is such a great concept.

Looks interesting, thanks for the info. Kickstarter is such a great concept.

Yes, it allows producers to accomplish things without the middleman. So many ideas haven’t gotten off the ground because the major studios “just don’t get it”.

Since “Space Command” has exceeded it’s $75M goal (it’s currently over double that), production will start next month.

I look forward to more good Sci-Fi!

I’d like to see that show. There’s a lot of incredible talent involved.

Yes, and the best part is they are doing this for the love of the genre.  These are the same guys (and gals) that made all the great Sci-Fi shows we’ve all come to know and love.

I’ll post news to this thread as I get it, since I’m on the list.

Keeping an eye out…..

Got to say the promos on the kickstart page look great.  It’ll be interesting to see if they pull off a pilot episode.

Pre-Production has already started on Space Command.  I’ve enclosed some pre-productions images (more to come)
Set design, costume design has already begun and the Kickstarter Pledge drive still has less than 2 weeks (goal already met)

Had the first “Backer’s Meeting” yesterday here in the Valley (San Fernando Valley, LA Area where most of the TV screne writers live)

Going to do an online talent search for 2 pivotal characters for Space Command. Actors can submit a “screening” on YouTube and all the backers will vote on the best for the part(s).  That will be interesting!

Armin Shimmerman (Quark on DS9, the principal on Buffy) will have a major role in one of the first episodes of Space Command.

Here’s an interview with Marc Zicree by Film COurage, that sums up what Space Command (the whole raison d’être for Space Command.

Confirmed: Production of the first “Space Command” movie starts in October.

Space Command has reached it’s original goal of $75K in pledges, but the more that is contributed, the better production will be.
None of the principles of Space Command collect a salary and none of the money will be spent on frivolous expenses. All will be spent on sets, costuming and VFX.  If you’d like to contribute (even a $1) you still can at SpaceCommandMovie.com - your $$ will only help make this project even better.

While shows like Star Trek and Babylon 5 were written to span a 5 year story arc, Space Command will encompass a 600 year story arc of man’s reach to the stars.

Many more sci-fi stars have expressed their wish to participate in Space Command. More on this soon.

Doug Drexler, Andy Probert and Steve Neill are busy at work on the space helmets.
Here’s an image of the Space Helmet designed for Space Command (below)

Really excited about this project!

I’m a backer too.

I’m a backer too.

Very cool Norse Graphics!  Every little bit helps make this project better and better.

Just heard Seth McFarland (“Family Guy”, “American Dad”, “Ted”) endorses this. Seth is a huge Star Trek fan and if you’ve seen Family Guy or “American Dad” (Patrict Steward is the voice Stan’s Boss), you can readily tell in both shows.  He also appeared on 2 episodes of “Star Trek: Enterprise” as “Ensign Rivers”.
