1978 - | A TALKSHOW ABOUT STAR TREK I |
... "Tell us what the title is."
LN:
"Star Trek – The Motion Picture," (laughing) "It is an odd title." (laughing
again)
)
"I read
that there are lining up theatres for the release of that picture. For
Christmas '79 – a year from now."
LN: "That's right."
)
"I've
never heard of that before."
LN: "I don't know how that works really. How the
distributors can decide or the theatres can decide about making a commitment
for a picture that far in advance. Apparently there is some formula by which
they figure what the picture is worth to them and they make deals, yeah."
"There
were bags of mails saying they were not seeing the picture if Spock does not
appear... Did you have them, did you have them with Spock?"
LN:
"Wellllll,... I certainly would not take advantage of a studio..."
)
LN: "... I
was doing Equus on Broadway. I had agreed that I go along with the movie and
then they decided they'll go ahead with a TV show instead. And for that I was not available. That was when all that talk
started.
And then
they changed their minds again and got back to the
movie. I am delighted.
We are having a great time. All the original cast is back..."
