In 2016, Steven L. Fawcette wrote and directed a Star Trek parody film called Unbelievable! It starred Snoop Dogg, obviously, along with 43 former Star Trek actors from both film and television, as well as a marionette that looks like William Shatner, aptly named Kirk Stillwood.
The film languished in obscurity until recently, when Indie Rights acquired it and began plans for a new release, according to Deadline.
The movie follows a team of astronauts who go to the moon to investigate the disappearance of a couple of colleagues. what happened to two members of their organization, when they uncover a plot by an alien race to invade earth. When they get back to Earth, they “find everyone has been transformed into an exotic killer plant-alien lead by Captain LeGrande Bushe. The astronauts must find a way to save humanity.”
Snoop plays Bushe.

I’ve got to say, this movie looks nuts and I’ll probably give it a chance. With a marionette as one of its stars, it has that Team America: World Police feel to it.
Unbelievable! will be released at some point later this year.
