Description

Star Trek’s creator gets antsy waiting to start production on the feature film

TLS signed “Gene,” two pages, 8.5 x 11, neat Star Trek letterhead, June 3, 1976. Letter to Judy Thomases. In part: "I'm often in a 'Strangers in a Strange Land' attitude toward what is around me—in fact, I feel like a (benevolent) alien on this planet most of the time…You didn’t get an immediate answer as the film contract hassle seemed bogged down a bit…With luck the contracts should be resolved in the next week or so and we can get seriously into preproduction of the STAR TREK movie…I was finding it hard to keep up the enthusiasm as disappointment followed disappointment, month after month. Tough on the actors and others, of course, as they waited all that time too hoping it would come together and they’d receive the telephone call. But not nearly as tough as knowing that it’s over your desk that it will either come together or not." In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
