-The British-made fan film, //Star Trek: Temporal Anomaly//, was due to be released March 31, 2018, but concerns from [[CBS]] led producer Samuel Cockings to delay its release, as he explained in a post on the movie's Facebook page:+After months of reworking following a brush with CBS over violating its fan film guidelines, British fan film, //Star Trek: Temporal Anomaly//, finally debuted on January 31, 2019, attracting notice for the 51-minute running time granted dispensation by Star Trek's owner.

 +"//Temporal Anomaly// has a custom arrangement with CBS which allows for its release with its longer run time," explained producer Samuel Cockings. "This project was started in 2013 and created long before the fan film guidelines; to allow its release we got a separate arrangement with CBS."(([[yout>DdmU2IprGVg|Temporal Anomaly - A Star Trek Fan Production (Part 1) (2019),]] Power543 Fan Films channel, YouTube, 1/31/19.))

 +Originally scheduled  to be released March 31, 2018, Cockings ran into trouble when he posted his trailer:
