- Vom Umschlagtext:
„… Certainly for students of film and television as well as for Star Trek fans - of which there are legions - this is a sought-after look at the screenwriting process from concept to final film script through the inclusion of treatments, story meetings, storyboards, and the moving of the Trek characters on the resultant creative chessboard. Fans, hungry for this kind of rare access, may well be thoroughly engrossed in and entertained by the book; whereas students of writing for television and film will definitly benefit from this textbook as not only reference material but also as a bona fide annotated resource on this particular film and/or on the entire Star Trek oeuvre, in general.
… (Michael) Piller can make a story meeting downright suspenseful, even exciting, after all, considering the enormity of the franchise, it is welcome „inside stuff“, it is entertaining stuff, it's stuff that dreams are made on! (at least to a Trekker and/or a screenwriting student). It is such an intimate look at meetings, the writing processes, the conversations, and the thought processes that the reader is brought directly into the room and into the moment. Piller brings such "inside" material into this that, at a few points, even Patrick Stewart himself (and to a lesser extent Brent Spiner) weighs in with his input, which is fascinating… Also, and this is an extremely welcome bonus, the sketched Storyboards are included in the textbook… this will appeal to films students as well as the Star Trek nerd/fan in all of us - all of those Sheldons and Leonards and Howards and Rajeshes out there, in University film programs or not, will absolutely benefit from and relish this!“
