Brannon Braga Makes Seven-Figure Overall Deal With Fox TV

Features

By GustavoLeao / 07:55, 16 March 2010 / General Genre/SciFi

According to Variety, former Star Trek producer Brannon Braga is firming up his relationship with 20th Century Fox TV and has sealed a hefty seven-figure overall deal with the studio. Here are few excerpts of the article.

Under the new deal, Braga will develop projects for the studio, and will likely also work on a new or existing 20th show next season.


"Brannon quickly became integral to the success of the last couple seasons of '24,'" said 20th Century Fox TV chairman Gary Newman. "We thought it was a great idea to have someone as talented as he is here to develop."


Newman said 20th was especially interested in Braga's background in the sci-fi genre. Scribe's credits include all four of the modern "Star Trek" series -- "The Next Generation," "Deep Space Nine," "Voyager" and "Enterprise." He also exec produced "Threshold" for CBS.

"He's known for his ability to write genre programming, and as a studio, we love that programming," Newman said. "It takes advantage of all the new opportunities the digital world gives you to connect with your rabid fanbase."

He helped write with Michael Piller "The Maquis Part 1" and allowed DS9 to be made with an admitted terrorist as a protagonist.

Berman may have gotten corrupted along the way, but I HATE Brannon Braga. He always wrote crap. Always.

And he's good looking anyway and successful, so screw him.

I wish someone would pay me millions for what I put in my toilet on a daily basis - but I guess not everyone can be Brannon.

I am hopeful with the ending last night that some of the old Jack comes back - but from the preview they are still going to carry on with the horrible Dana Thrace hillbilly B-plot.

Outside of that B-story and the one with psycho Freckles, it just seems like this is a mishmash of old plotlines all jumbled into this season, and I wonder if by the end that somehow Palmer, Nina and Tony don't show up.

Sorry Variety, but I dont think Brannon ever wrote a single episode of DS9. Or am I wrong ?

One of the best career choices he made was to get away from Rick Berman. I know Braga is grateful to and speaks well of the affiliation; but for his own career, he had to get away from that man.

I am one of the few who actually enjoyed THRESHOLD. I wish someone had ran with it in some other medium, like a comic version, in book form, to complete the FOOTHOLD and STRANGLEHOLD premise.
