According to the LA Times 6/24/90: "Harve Bennett won't be at the controls of Star Trek VI" "Bennett's script for "VI, The First Adventure" was set at the academy where Kirk & Co. first get together. Gene Roddenberry and others were nervious about the premise" "After waiting the better part of a year" for a status report on the script, Bennett finally got the bad news. He then decided to leave producing chores to others..." "Paramount, meanwhile, is scurrying to come up with a script, hoping to release "VI" next summer-to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the series" I hope they don't "scurry" too much and end up with a sloppy script/production. It would be nice if they ended the movie series on a high note !! -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edited by Jim Griffith - the official scapegoat for r.a.s.i.
