Book Description: The history of Star Trek'sÂ resurrection, between the 1969Â cancellation of the originalÂ series and the 1979 release ofÂ Star Trekâ€•The Motion Picture, has become legend.Â LikeÂ many legends, it tends to get printed instead of the facts. Drawing onÂ hundreds of contemporary news articles and primary sources not seen in decades, this book tells theÂ true story of the first Star Trek reboot.After several attempts to revive the franchise, Robert Wise's STâ€•TMP was released on a wave of prestige promotion, hype and public frenzy unheard for a film based on a television show. Controversy surrounded its troubled production and $44M budget, earning it a reputation at the time as the most expensive movie ever made. After a black-tie premiere in Washington, D.C., its opening in 856 North American theaters broke multiple box-office recordsâ€•a harbinger of the modern blockbuster era. Despite instantÂ financial success, the film was panned byÂ critics, leaving thisÂ enterpriseÂ nowhere to boldly go but down.
