Star Trek Luminaries Behind the Fastest Funded Film Project On Kickstarter

An anonymous reader writes "Legendary sci-fi writer Marc Zicree (Star Trek, Babylon 5, Sliders) and special effects wizard Doug Drexler (Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica) are behind the fastest funded film project on Kickstarter. They're using crowd-funding website kickstarter to directly communicate with and enlist the support of fans for their latest project Space Command. Maybe with direct communication, sci-fi fans can rest easy and not have to worry about their favorite shows being cancelled like FireFly."

    Agreed. "Space Command Ninja Cops" would have been better.

    I won't contribute to his next Kickstarter project. (Unless the Kickstarter project was for funding hookers and blow, of course.)

    I may have an exciting investment opportunity for you.

    If Marc Zicree is standing in front of a cabinet full of Emmys, he better move out of the way, because he's blocking the view of the person who actually won them.
