Celebrating 25 years of the Federation’s bravest crew, Star Trek: VoyagerA Celebration is available now here at Amazon, from Hero Collector. Voyager comes across a Krenim timeship that's wiping whole species from existence to change the existing timeline.After blasting well past the $1 Million mark in their month-long fundraiser, the team from 455 Films behind the Star Trek: Voyager documentary project — To the Journey: Looking back at Star Trek: Voyager — now have the daunting task of shooting, editing, completing post-production, and more for the film before fans will see what their donations have paid for.It’s the ultimate celebration for Star Trek: Voyager fans, and the very best behind the scenes account ever created for the series. With Kate Mulgrew, Robert Beltran, Roxann Dawson, Robert Duncan McNeill. Seeds for Voyager ' s backstory, including the development of the Maquis , were placed in several The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine episodes.Year Of Hell: Directed by Allan Kroeker. Initial work on Star Trek: Voyager began in 1993, when the seventh and final season of Star Trek: The Next Generation and the second season of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine were in production.
The final episode of Star Trek: Voyager aired on May 23, 2001. Now awake in the 24th century, he is amazed to see that the Borg control a vast. S7, Ep21With the largest hurdle behind them, we spoke with To the Journey director David Zappone, who also produced For the Love of Spock, Chaos on the Bridge, William Shatner’s The Captains, and of course, the much-loved Deep Space Nine documentary What We Left Behind, which he also co-directed.In the later episode of Star Trek: Voyager, 'Dragons Teeth', Gedrin, of the race the Vaadwaur, says that before he and his people were put into suspended animation 892 years earlier (1482 A.D.), the Borg had assimilated only a few colonies in the Delta Quadrant and were considered essentially a minor nuisance.
What Year Is The Series Voyager Star Trek Full Discussion Between
The difference between this campaign and Deep Space Nine is that we have a guy named Ryan Husk, one of the hosts on The 7th Rule podcast, as campaign manager.His advice immediately was, “Let’s build up the anticipation!” because in the previous campaigns, For the Love of Spock and What We Left Behind, we waited until the day of the launch to start building up awareness.He wisely advised us to take the two months to build up that. Were you expecting that outpouring of support from fans?DAVID ZAPPONE: No! I always thought that we would do as well as the Deep Space Nine documentary, but I believe what’s happened here is we built upon the Deep Space Nine audience, and we were savvy enough to make them all aware that this was coming. In our discussion, we spoke about the surprise of raising so much money so quickly, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on production, the challenge of remastering Voyager footage for high-definition use, and more.While the interview below has been edited and condensed for clarity, you can hear the full discussion between our Alex Perry and To the Journey director/producer David Zappone on this special edition of the WeeklyTrek podcast.TREKCORE: First of all, $1.3 million in fundraising is a colossal achievement.
Garrett has been such a supporter, and helped us with the launch immensely, as you’ve probably seen on social media and in our pitch video, and Tim Russ (Tuvok) and Robbie McNeill (Tom Paris), and Ethan Phillips (Neelix), Alice Krige (Borg Queen), everyone, and let’s not forget Connor! That’s actually my favorite part of the– Just when Connor Trinneer ( Enterprise’s Trip Tucker). I have to say we also couldn’t have done it without Garrett Wang (Harry Kim). It beat out the Deep Space Nine campaign within the first two days!ZAPPONE: I just want to be very clear in that this would not have happened without Deep Space Nine and the fact that I think all of our work has been embraced going back to The Captains.We’ve really done some very affectionate pieces on Star Trek but I think it’s the overwhelming love of What We Left Behind that is responsible for this success, and the fact that Voyager is a terrific show and people love these characters.Look at the situation we’re in, where we have Kate Mulgrew (Janeway) back in Prodigy, Jeri Ryan (Seven) and John de Lancie (Q) back now for Picard — so it seems like a great time to be doing something for Voyager.TREKCORE: What stage is the Voyager documentary at now, with your first interviews coming just before pandemic lockdowns started happening throughout the world — and what are your current priorities for the project?ZAPPONE: We didn’t stop totally during COVID.
I intend to do what we did with What We Left Behind. We might need multiple stages. Our priority now is really logistics, figuring out where to shoot.The difference here is this cast is a bit spread out over the country. We went into the crowdfunding with a good amount of it under our belt but this allows us to now do this right.We are now looking at studios, we are hopefully going to be able to build a set to film in-person interviews like we did with What We Left Behind. We have done some interviews but now it’s akin to Deep Space Nine. Others too, like Brannon Braga and Andre Bormanis.I did not want to stop totally during the pandemic, and lose our momentum.
Yes, you hit it right there. A January 1995 Entertainment Weekly article covering VOYAGER’s debut.TREKCORE: You’re still early in to the ‘story’ development for the film, but do you have particular parts of Voyager’s history that you’re already eager to dive into — like Mulgrew’s turn as the first lead-role female captain?ZAPPONE: Absolutely. Rick Berman has already said yes.We intend to go hopefully as deep into the production side and the writing side, as we did in What We Left Behind.
I knew the show was quality. I didn’t believe any of that. I was a fan from the jump, from 1995. I will say, though, that we’re hoping to do something with the actors themselves, which will take a lot of negotiation and approval.TREKCORE: What’s the most surprising thing you’ve learned about Voyager from the work you’ve done so far for the documentary?ZAPPONE: Well, certainly, I’d heard what everybody else heard which is, “Oh, Voyager was not that great.” “The cast doesn’t get along.” I heard all these rumors. We need something more than that, and for What We Left Behind, the “DS9 Season 8 Writers’ Room” segment gave us that.For Voyager, the truth is, we’re not sure yet exactly what kind of ‘surprise’ we are going to do — because we don’t own Star Trek.
That’s where I realized that Voyager fandom really runs deem — and it’s got a lot of younger people in it, tooIt’s not just people my age who watched it the first time around, it’s garnered an entire fandom, just like Deep Space Nine, an entirely new fan base from streaming. We just invited fans to come in and just tell us about what Voyager meant to you. We were working 18 hour days, and happily. I can’t tell you how fortunate we are to have been on that last year — it was the only physical reunion that the Voyager cast had, since everything else was cancelled by the pandemic. More than that, the company that runs the Star Trek cruise let us use their Broadway-quality theater that they have on the ship.The days on that ship were some of the longest days I’ve ever had in production.
People will want that mug!”TREKCORE: I’ve got to ask about your plans to remaster Voyager footage into high definition. He said to me, “You know, Dave, I know the company that made that coffee mug they used in Voyager, and we can get them recreated. I mean did you see that terrific animated Janeway in the First Contact Day panels?And what is she holding? That iconic coffee cup, which is proven to be one of our most popular Indiegogo perks — the demand for that coffee cup replica was one of the biggest surprises of the fundraiser.I wish I could take credit for that — but that came from Paul Camuso who runs the William Shatner store. I’m not going to limit it and just stop at “Endgame,” because the story doesn’t stop there. Now I get it.TREKCORE: Will the film touch on the “continuing voyages” of the Voyager crew — like Jeri Ryan coming back for Picard and Kate Mulgrew returning for Prodigy?ZAPPONE: Oh, absolutely — I can’t imagine that we would not cover that. Yes, the metric that I’ve heard and everybody’s heard is that I think six out of the top 10 streamed Star Trek episodes on Netflix are Voyager.
