Star Trek Producer Works For Trek Fans?

It's just getting weirder and weirder.

From Sci-Fi Wire:

Producer Works For Trek Fans?

Trek Today reported that a Canadian producer lobbied on behalf of the fan group Trek United with an unnamed Paramount executive to revive UPN's canceled Star Trek: Enterprise for a fifth season. The report was based on unverified assertions by Trek United; Paramount has consistently denied that it is in talks with anyone and has said that the decision to cancel Enterprise is final. Trek United, for its part, continues to insist it is in secret talks with unnamed Paramount officials as it solicits funds from Trek fans.

The SyFy Portal Web site, meanwhile, identified the Canadian producer as Al Vinci, who said he is a former child actor who purportedly made the pitch to Paramount on behalf of Trek United. The site was unable to verify Vinci's claims or his resume.

Meanwhile, Tim Brazeal, the leader of Trek United, admitted to a criminal background in an unusual posting on Trek United's own message boards on April 14. Among other things, Brazeal admitted to a Texas conviction for auto theft based on an incident in 1983, for which he said he was placed on 10 years of probation and ordered to pay $10,000 in restitution. Brazeal also admitted to a 1979 arrest for marijuana possession. "I have not been in trouble since this time," Brazeal wrote, adding: "I was young and stupid, and I learned from my mistakes."

Trek United said it has raised more than $3.14 million in pledges and contributions from fans eager to finance a fifth season of Enterprise and has also said that donors are promised their money back if the show doesn't come back, minus handling fees to cover the cost of banks and Paypal.

$3.14 million in pledges and contributions for buying some marijuana?

There's too many links to reprint here, but we have a lively thread on this at CA as well:

(The Lee Goldberg comments are both predictable and laughable)

Syfyportal has been investing some time into the mystery of "Al Vinci", former child-actor turned producer. This is a great ongoing story!
