The Synopsis –
STAR TREK: CAPTAIN PIKE will be a (45 MIN) Pilot film that will lead into, and act as the prequel to, the feature length “STAR TREK: ENCOUNTER AT RIGEL
If you saw the original series Star Trek Pilot “The Cage”, then you remember Captain Pike discussing his previous mission with the ships doctor and seeing many flashbacks throughout the episode.
At the beginning of The Cage, set in the year 2254, Pike and his crew are recuperating from a mission to Rigel VII during which several members of the landing party were killed by the inhabitants. The incident filled Pike with so much guilt that he is considering resigning his commission.
In Encounter at Rigel, you will see this story. The original series never showed us what happened, only quick flashbacks, but never the whole story.
“Star Trek: Captain Pike” has already begun to attract media attention as well as interest from many actors and studio executives who are interested in seeing this innovative new project.
Captain Pike has the one of the best visual effects artists in the world! Tobias Richter. He will be creating all our ships and visual effects.
