Department of Stupid Rumors[]
Is there any point in mentioning in this article that a) Bad Robot has no involvement in Star Trek: Discovery or any other Star Trek TV series, and b) Secret Hideout is not connected with Bad Robot in any way, except insofar as before Alex Kurtzman founded SH, he was employed by BR? These facts should be fairly obvious to any informed observer, but I’m running into more and more people online who are convinced (based on claims made in various YouTube videos) that Secret Hideout is really Bad Robot in a wig and fake mustache.
Can we do anything to stem the tide of misinformation on this subject, or is that just beyond the remit of MA? —Josiah Rowe (talk) 04:35, May 27, 2019 (UTC)
- As Kurtzman is fortuitously mentioned by name in the article, I dropped a note between parentheses behind his name to make the point...--Sennim (talk) 08:59, May 27, 2019 (UTC)
Well, every little bit helps, but as it stands that sentence with the parentheses is rather awkward.
Since Secret Hideout became associated with CBS in 2016, perhaps we could have a one-sentence paragraph after the Star Wars paragraph. I’ll give it a shot and if it seems too much, feel free to revert. —Josiah Rowe (talk) 23:14, May 27, 2019 (UTC)
- Tweaked it a little bit to improve the flow, but I'm good otherwise--Sennim (talk) 07:17, May 28, 2019 (UTC)
Looks good, thanks! —Josiah Rowe (talk) 13:47, May 28, 2019 (UTC)
Films under Secret Hideout?[]
The article currently states:
- "Furthermore, part of the reunification also entailed both film and television franchises being placed under the (production) end auspices of Secret Hideout, [1] meaning that Bad Robot would become subordinated, if involved. Considering Abrams' substantially revved-up ambitions with his 2019 Warner deal, a potentially undesirable outcome."
The linked TrekMovie article talks about the establishment of the Star Trek Global Franchise Group, which operates out of Secret Hideout, but doesn't mention anything about the films being placed under SH's control. Obviously, any licensed material related to the films would have to go through STGFG, but that's not the same as saying that the production of future films would be under SH. Is there a better source somewhere to support the claim that SH will control future Star Trek films? —Josiah Rowe (talk) 20:38, February 4, 2020 (UTC)
