Description

While in final negotiations for the first Star Trek film, its creator complains “the studio keeps insisting that we…forgive and forget anything they may owe us from bad bookkeeping”

Television screenwriter and producer (1921–1991) best known for creating the science fiction series Star Trek. TLS signed “Gene,” one page, 8.5 x 11, illustrated Star Trek letterhead, April 29, 1976. Letter to Judy Thomases. In part: “I had promised you some news on the STAR TREK movie and kept waiting and hoping each day that the thing would somehow be solved. I guess I believe in miracles. However, I can now report that we do seem to be making progress…we are coming to an agreement with the principal actors and even a final agreement between the studio and myself…I’m afraid the fan attitude will be ‘Oh, come on fellows, don’t be picky; sign up and make us a Star Trek movie.’ It really isn’t that simple, not when the studio keeps insisting that we not only tie ourselves up with them for years but also agree to forgive and forget anything they may owe us from bad bookkeeping or even questionable bookkeeping in the past…I still believe we will ultimately win.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
