The interview was a fun read, thanks for posting. My fingers are crossed for FE2.

I'm beginning to think of FE2 as a little brother of "The Last Dangerous Visions".

Don't know if you all heard, but FE2 looks to start shooting next week. And the Shat is Back on Board...
shareOkay, hutt359 inspired me to Google the question.

Shatner: Free Enterprise...remember the film? Well we are doing a sequel, Free Enterprise 2. So they have got me involved in some fun stuff. And I will be shooting that in the next month or so.The report with some editorial comments here:
...The Shat tells Trekmovie.com, "Free Enterprise...remember the film? Well we are doing a sequel, Free Enterprise 2. So they have got me involved in some fun stuff. And I will be shooting that in the next month or so."Of course, in the movie biz, everybody makes everything sound like a done deal even when it's nothing more than a hope and dream. I'll believe it when I see it. You notice there's no IMDB entry, at least not as I write this. But good luck! share
Yep, first we'd heard of it too. Sure you haven't got your dates mixed up, Bill? If not, way to keep a secret, Rob!
I mean, Burnett had mentioned that with the bravura success of J.J Abrams' Star Trek last year that he expected there might be renewed interest in his Trek-ode Free Enterprise 2 - but since we hadn't heard anything in a while ("Trek" was a good 12 months ago now), I personally assumed the "FE" ship had been docked. Not so, it seems. And we can only speculate that it's indeed that film, and the resurgence of the "Trek" brand, that's led to the writer/director finding the coin to do said film. Personally, can't wait! (Can only imagine they've written some great gags in there about Shatner being left out of Abrams' "Trek" reboot!)...
Alicia Witt and Old Spice commercial actor Isaiah Mustafa have both confirmed that they are in FE2, and Eliza Dushku randomly sent out a tweet about free enterprise last week and spoke about doing research by watching eps of TOS, which was responded to by Mustafa.
shareJust listened to Mustafa's recent NPR interview online, where he said he's excited to be doing FE2.

Float the curser around and you'll see some links.
By the by, I was at Comic Con this year and was looking forward to the panel, but it was cancelled a week prior for some reason. Pretty bummed, but hopefully it's because they were all busy shooting the film.

That website would seem to be the property of "Free Enterprise 2, LLC" ("Limited Liability Company"), with offices at a media center near downtown L.A. If you click to the site and move the cursor around, you'll find a couple of links to bits and pieces of media reports.

Most current projects:...

Rob's in NOLA filming this week. I'll be seeing Shatner in 2 weeks and ask him about the movie!

According to William Shatner speaking at the Dallas Trek convention on October 23,2010, there WILL NOT BE a Free Enterprise 2. Apparently the money for the project fell through. He was not pleased with the way the project was handled...
shareAnything new on this? I was really looking forward to FE2, and was bummed when I heard it fell through.
shareThey're trying to get a series off the ground.
