Crowd-funded
film with Star Trek cast promises thrilling ride.
This
past weekend at the Space City Comic Con, attendees were treated to the first look at 5th Passenger,
an indie science fiction, thriller that was crowdfunded last year through Kickstarter.
The film features a strong female lead, played by co-writer and producer Morgan Lariah, and
stars numerous actors from the Star Trek universe.
“I’m
really overwhelmed by the support we have received from the Star
Trek, science fiction and horror communities,” commented Scott Baker, the film’s
director and co-writer, “ so many people trusted us with their donations; we
feel incredible pressure to not only spend the money wisely but also
to create a fantastic film. Peoples’ reaction to the trailer so far has
been nothing short of extraordinary.”
Not
to be confused with the collection of quality Star Trek fan films out there,
like Renegades and Axanarthat were funded through
Kickstarter and IndieGoGo,5th Passenger is an original
story idea that takes its cues from such sci-fi classics as Alien, The
Thing, Event Horizon, and Moon. It does star many notable cast members
from Star Trek and other genre films:
•
Tim Russ: Tuvok
