DIRECTOR Robert Burnett (Free Enterprise) says Axanar has to wait.

Under pressure from a copyright infringement lawsuit, production on the Star Trek film, Axanar, has come to a halt, its director said February 19.

In a Facebook post on Friday, director Robert Burnett wrote:

No one has given up. But we’ve agreed to halt all production on the film until a resolution to the suit is reached.¹⁾

Burnett’s revelation came just ahead of the Monday, February 22, filing deadline for Axanar’s answer to the legal complaint filed two months before by CBS and Paramount Pictures.

While Burnett himself is not named in the suit, as director of the feature film he is widely expected believed to be one of the unnamed 'John Doe’ defendants described CBS/Paramount’s legal complaint.²⁾
