• Production begins in October, Peters tells the 48 viewers who tuned into Monday night’s Axanar: Confidential//.
• Mission creep? What was once slated to be two, 15-minute films, relatively easy to shoot, on the order of Prelude to Axanar‘s two-day shoot, is evolving into a more sprawling, ambitious affair, comprising production across the country in multiple locations.
• Four shoots. Peters foresees the production will shoot in four phases and places:
• Atlanta for as many as two days in October for scenes involving Peters, veteran Trek actor J.G. Hertzler and other cast who don’t require alien makeup.
• Audio drama. Also planned during the Atlanta shoot: recording an audio version of the Axanar feature film forestalled by the CBS lawsuit.
• Los Angeles (no date announced) for as many as three days to shoot cast members playing aliens.
• An unnamed location serving as Starfleet Headquarters, date unknown. These larger crowd scenes will accommodate people whose donations qualified them to appear in the film.
• “Other sets” Peters didn’t name, though he said some footage to be shot there was for Axanar, other footage for unnamed other projects.
• Premiere. Peters hopes to rent the same off-site theater during San Diego Comic-Con in 2020 for premiere of the film. Of course, he confidently predicted in 2018 that Axanar Lite would premiere at Comic-Con 2019.
• Star Trek Las Vegas. Finally, he says 2020 attendees at STLV will get to see the films, too. Off-site, of course, since he’s not welcome at the official convention.
