     Filming  started  just a few days  ago,  on  Feburary  24th.  
Expected compleation date is May 12th, 1986.  One can only guess, 
at this point,  on the complete story idea.  But based on discus-
sion and other items discovered the story looks as follows:

                  WARNING - STORY RUMORS FOLLOW

     With  the cast selected and some set descriptions it appears 
as though the fabled crew of the Enterprise arrive on earth after 
some negotiations on the Planet Vulcan and arrive on Earth, poss-
ibly still in the Klingon Bird-of-Prey.  In fact, that looks very 
likely.   The  Earth they arrive at is,  Now.   Not listed in the 
above cast call ars a number of current age characters including, 
the ever-popular  FBI agent.   This is beginning to look,  very 
much like a remake of the Gary Seven episode.
     Other  tidbits  of  information disclose assistance  in  the 
Special Effects department by Industrial Light and  Magic.   Some 
additional  footage has been shot here in San Diego using the USS 
Ranger on North Island.   In addition some location work was done 
at Will Rodgers State Park,  including the inital landing.   Some 
joggers are included as atmosphere.
     Well that about raps up what can be said now.  Much of what 
I  know  is old by now.   But this little  scrap  of  information 
should  feed  the rumor mills for some time,  as we  discuss  the 
possible future of Paramont film production #31797.
