Stallion Cornell's Moist Board

I really wouldn't get your hopes up. CFF failed to capitalize on the new series, so right now Universal clearly has its doubts about the TOS franchise. The only way I could see it happening would be if Singer was able to get it financed independently of Universal, while still being able to insure Universal a cut of the profits.

Edit: Honestly, I think that's the real reason Kissinger killed the animated TOS series. Even with Cartoon Network showing interest, I don't think he wanted to invest any of Universal's money without Singer onboard.
