The following is excerpted from The Grapevine, From Marilyn Beck and Stacy Janel Smith in Hollywood, 8 Oct 1990, as it appeared in the San Jose Mercury News. `Star Trek VI' still far from take-off Looks like ``Star Trek VI'' could be stalled on the launching pad. It -- like all other projects at Paramount -- will have to await review by David Kirkpatrick, who's taken over the reins from Sid Ganis as president of the studio's motion picture group. But even if that weren't the case << note: at this point, any following line(s) was missing >> Though Paramount executives said months ago that the studio was charging ahead with the sixth installment of the big-screen series, William Shatner now reports there's still no completed script and that no one has any idea when ``Trek VI'' will roll. Shatner says he'll report for duty as Admiral [sic] Kirk whenever he is eventually called, but adds that neither he nor Leonard Nimoy will direct ``VI.'' While he waits to beam aboard the Starship Enterprise, Shatner plans to juggle hosting duties on ``Rescue 911'' with writing chores. ``Teklords,'' the follow-up to his ``Tekwar'' Putnam tome, is due on the stands this winter and he reveals the publisher ``has contracted me to do a third novel featuring the Jake Cardigan character.'' Also in the literary works for Shatner is ``Believe,'' now in the process of being edited at Putnam. He collaborated with Michael Tobias on the tome he describes as ``a book about the drama of spiritualism.'' David B.
