Star Trek series #5
Bryan Fuller, producer on Star Trek: Voyager, talked to Sci-Fi about the possibility of his joining the fifth Trek series. "Brannon [Braga] has told me a little bit about the next series, and everything that he's told me sounds really exciting," Fuller said.
He goes on to say, "I hate to sound like the same old interview that people have seen time and time again, but he's told me some things in confidence that I can't discuss. But I think it will be very exciting. They'll be able to do things with the characters that a lot of the other modern-day Star Treks haven't been able to do. The characters will be much more accessible in a fresh way that the audience will be very excited about. And the premise is just very cool."
Braga has inquired as to Fuller's interest in joining up as a writer. "Whether that comes to fruition remains to be seen. A part of me would love to be involved with Star Trek. ... Voyager was my first job in the industry, and I've been working on it for four years. And it will be odd to leave the show. But on another level, it would be good for my career to leave the show, ... to expand myself as a writer and continue to grow creatively. When you keep writing the same type of show over and over again, there is the danger of stagnating. But then again, ... when it's science fiction, the lid is blown off any sort of limits, because there's a broad variety of stories you can tell: romances, comedies, high-concept science fiction. You have a freedom in science fiction that you don't have in, say, NYPD Blue."
