Back in May, Abrams made comments that led fans to believe the case had been dropped, but  in fact, litigation continues. The Axamonitor site ran an in-depth analysis of the studios’ latest filing with the court.

This is the SECOND of THREE exclusive teaser trailers for AXANAR, concentrating on the Klingon side of the conflict. Richard Hatch, in character as the Klingon Warlord “Kharn the Undying,” provides the voice over.

Director Robert Meyer Burnett created this trailer from visual effects and voice-overs produced in December before the lawsuit was filed. He declined to answer legal questions about the production but said he hopes the story can move forward soon.

After the fan-made production raised $600,000 on Kickstarter and was planned to be released in 2016, production was halted after CBS and Paramount Pictures filed suit in California in December 2015. The suit alleges that the production violates several “Star Trek” copyrights, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

“We are continuing settlement talks, and the discovery process is well underway,” Erin Ranahan, a Winston & Strawn attorney representing filmmaker Axanar Productions, wrote in an email to Space.com. “We hope that the lawsuit will be resolved before the need to file any further motions with the court.”
