The first panel I attended at last month’s San Diego Comic Con was “The Gene Roddenberry Legacy: Roddenberry in the 21st Century.” From the program – Building on his father’s legacy with Star Trek, Rod Roddenberry and Roddenberry Productions are bringing the Roddenberry philosophy into the 21st century, through their work on the forthcoming feature documentary Trek Nation, as well as the development of original content in webcomics such as Rod & Barry and Gene’s Journal. This panel features exclusive Comic-Con looks at new Roddenberry content and projects currently in development. Featuring Eugene “Rod” Roddenberry, Trevor Roth (COO of Roddenberry Productions), and Allen Holzman (Emmy Award winning editor).
During the panel, we were able to view a newly finished trailer of Trek Nation, which has been in development for several years now. As a life-long Trek fan, I found it extremely poignant. And I’m looking forward to seeing the film in its entirety, when it’s completed.
