Misinformation. Everyone knows the season will be shelved for a tax write-off and Kurtzman will be fired and Gene's Spirit will frown in disapproval.
Furthermore, he's already secured funding for three more Discovery seasons to be filmed and sneakily released on Paramount+ without informing the studio to keep the open secret it had actually been cancelled five years ago, at about the same time he was sacked.
Kurtzman is the one who is buying Paramount. After the deal is finalized, he will announce the launch of the Michael Burnham Cinematic Universe. You heard it first here, folks.
It’s a clever trick. So long as Kurtzman can sneak the “B” past audiences when they see “MCBU”, they’ll assume it’s Marvel and flock to theaters. If he also manages to trick everyone into believing it’s still 2019, he’ll even turn a sizable profit on the venture.
