In short, it's a new web series that is true to TOS. But unlike most productions of this type, this one has good actors and production quality to back it up. Looks very promising. And of course the best part is that it ignores the new abrams-verse. It is true to the original timeline and it extends that timeline.

It starts principal shooting in October 2012.

I need to watch TOS again to brush up. My trek is mostly grounded in TNG.
 
Ha! That's awesome...they have Grant Imahara as the new Sulu.

Any clue as to when it will hit the general public audience?
 
Ok, seeing that someone influenced me to watch every single episode from tng - voyager (missed a couple when falling asleep and restarting the playlist an episode late I think.), I am going to start watching the movies. Seeing that I just did a marathon starting from TNG ....what should be the first movie I watch ?

I would kind of like to completely catch up with the entire series before I go watching any of the new stuff and with movies and series coming up, pushing is coming to shoving here.

In that article they say it is being previewed at a convention in phoenix...

did some searching....

I wonder if that is the convention? That would mean releasing would be sometime after May if that is indeed the case...which reminds me....maybe I should tell one of my trekkie uncles who lives in phoenix about this...I am sure he would get a kick out of going.

RED SHIRT!! We all know if a Star Trek crew member is wearing a red uniform, he or she will be the first to be phasered, engulfed by a deadly cloud creature, take a plasma blast head on, or otherwise be killed in a horrible manner. So, why not YOU? Or a friend, or a not-so-friend. Not real phasers or clouds or plasma blasts of course, but in our film. Yes, you can be the one redshirt that dies dramatically on screen. Though our characters will not be wearing the TOS era red uniforms, everyone will know the redshirt when he or she appears. Some good screen time, high drama, intense emotion - you get the idea. You must be available for specific shooting dates in the LA area (TBD Spring 2013) and transportation and lodging is not included. Redshirt role is a STAND ALONE REWARD. Plus it comes with all the other goodies above.

Wow that was an excellent episode! Great production quality, and it carried the true spirit of star trek with a depth of moral teaching that is completely lost in the latest movies.

If you liked the latest movies then you should watch this episode to understand what you are missing.
