Star Trek: Phase II: the First Professional Fan Film?
Fan produced Star Trek series Phase II may not be as fannish as it first
seemed. A new statement suggests a level of professional involvement in
the "franchise" that was previously unsuspected

Karl Hodge

. . . .

The latest entry, World Enough and Time stars George Takei reprising his
role as helmsman Sulu and was written by former DS9 scribes Marc Zicree
and Michael Reeves. The episode was so well received that it won a TV
Guide award for best web based media – up against Lost and Battlestar
Galactica. The screenplay has been nominated for the Science Fiction and
Fantasy Writer’s of America’s highest trinket – the Nebula, in the same
category as the Doctor Who episode Blink and dark fantasy Pan’s Labyrinth.

And there the controversy begins.

Well, Cawley *certainly* did not get both Takei and Koenig without *some*
level of studio intervention. You just can't walk up to a
professionally-paid actor and say "Will you be in my production that happens
to use and revise your [copyrighted] characters...and you'll be playing
them?"

Does not work like that.
