Synopsis

The sequel to the bestselling Star Trek Memories, documenting in deliciously lurid and candid detail all the behind-the-scenes shenanigans in the making of the six Star Trek movies, with on-the-scene reporting from the set of the seventh in which...Kirk dies!Star Trek Movie Memories recounts all the chaos, creative turmoil, backstage politics, power plays and production nightmares that permeated every one of the six Star Trek movies, including the accumulated grudges that haven't yet mellowed with the passage of time. And the stories... Nicholas Meyer writing the script for Star Trek II in twelve days... Kirstie Alley doing her Leonard Nimoy imitation in an audition... How Kirk's love interest in Star Trek IV began as a role for Eddie Murphy, and you can imagine the rest (or maybe not).With stories and quotes from the principles that have never before been uttered in public, this will deliver a truly unprecedented behind-the-scenes view of the Trek films that will amaze even the most avid Trekker. And on top of it all, the hardcover will be published in time for the seventh film, which will present the perfect opportunity to tie the old crew and stars including Robert Wise, Ricardo Montalban, Christopher Lloyd, Christopher Plummer, Christian Slater to Patrick Stewart and the cast of The Next Generation. The torch will be passed, and William Shatner will tell us all about how it feels as his character is killed off in the film's finale.

Having recently read Star Trek Memories, I decided to complete Shatner’s run with the series by reading the sequel, Star Trek Movie Memories.

Goodreads review by Kieran on September 13, 2023

"Memory is a strange thing. It's very personal, remembering the best of times in some instances and the worst in others." William Shatner (again assisted by Chris Kreski) writes his memories of the movie era of 'Star Trek'. Interesting, funny and more pragmatic than the previous volume, this is worth......more

Goodreads review by Lily on August 28, 2016

I think one thing this book did was show that Star Trek has always been a challenge to make. It's always faced huge hurdles. From the beginning when getting a good script together and budget fights with the studios (and of course fights with the network over things like their timeslot) You'd think b......more

In the mid-90s, shortly before Chris Berman and Brannon Braga completely bled the franchise of all human interest, William Shatner authored (with Chris Kreski) two volumes of “Star Trek memories.” The first volume, which focuses exclusively on the 60s television series, remains in print and continue......more
