Erm, Houston, we mightn't have a series after all (more $)

Having an office in New York allows me to obtain US casting information. <P>"I'm afraid to say that all the information you have received about the next 'Star Trek' project is incorrect. The official information about the new show was given out a few weeks ago and the steps have been taken to ensure that information is kept confidential. <P>"I truely believe that this is someone's idea of a practical joke. Even though the party in question went to extreme lengths to make the character info as a real document, it's a fake. <P>"I hope you listen to my advice as it would be silly to promote something that wasn't real." <P>The sender of this email revealed their name to TrekWeb and other sites, lending at least some credibility to the statements. Also, if true, at least it would seem to confirm that indeed casting information HAS gone out; though I am surprised that Paramount would be able to maintain such an astonishing level of confidentiality among the various casting agencies that may have received this. <BR><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>What's really interesting it that when I initially rationalized posting this I recalled the MikeJonas summary of Insurrection. It was first hailed as the truth then everyone dove at it claiming it was too fannish and the already-known plot points could be counted off one by one.<P>And in the end, a lot of rather loudmouted bigshots at TrekWeb, Deus among them IIRC, had to insert their feet frimly into their mouth when it turned out the summary was accurate.<P>Of course, now, this is more analagous to the MikeJonas First Contact summary, which was a rather clever doctoring-job that was fairly readily accepted while being a work of fiction. Of course, Jonas had some info to base his summary on so it wasn't so bad.<P>In any case, let's have a big salt fight.
