The word is:  we're trying.

David Barron alerted me to this project at Paramount several months ago.  We 
knew about it even before Okrand did.  I'm pleased to say that Marc Okrand *is* 
now onboard this project, so we can expect more quality Klingon.

Last March I spoke with one of the authors of the script that will be used.  He 
expressed real concern that the Klingon be done properly.  I have spoken on 
several occasions with one of the Producers of the project, and she also seems 
genuine in her intent to do it up right.

I have also attempted to get the KLI involved via official Paramount channels.  
Faxes have been sent and circulated.  Right now we just get to sit and wait for 
a bit.

More news as it happens.
