[QUOTE]Originally posted by MrNeutron: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [qb] I could be wrong about this, but wasn't "Phase II" already in the works when [i]Star Wars[/i] happened? Didn't SW simply cause them to make it into a movie, rather than a TV show? [/qb][/QUOTE]Phase II appears to have died because Paramount couldn't sign up enough stations to make it's 4th network work. Star Wars just proved that science fiction movies could make a boatload of money. That being the case, given the money spent on Star Trek up to that point, it's no surprise Eisner decided to take "In Thy Image" and make it into ST:TMP. It was really the only possible chance they had to recoup their investment. (And despite its budget overruns and Paramount counting all the previous failed attempts to bring Trek back as part of the budget, TMP still made money...making over 2.5 times is official budget.) I don't buy this "prequels" nonsense. It would be a really stupid move to make films about big events that would lead up to Star Trek, as only hardcore Trekkies would give rats ass. Yeah, maybe if they were great movies on their own, but in that case it seems the Star Trek name seems more like baggage than an asset. [/QB][/QUOTE]
