The item listed here comes from the estate of my mother-in-law after she passed away in early 2024. We’re going through the items that she collected while she worked in the entertainment industry. She worked at the Paramount Pictures studio lot in Hollywood, California in the mid-1990s and then moved on to other companies in the entertainment industry. Over the years, she obtained an extensive collection of rare Hollywood items, especially from her favorite franchise “Star Trek”. Scripts, crew gifts, screen used props and much, much more. “Star Trek: The Next Generation: The Feature”. (AKA “Star Trek: Generations”). The initial Final Draft Script. From the writer’s offices of “Star Trek” in the Hart building on the Paramount Pictures studio lot in Hollywood. It is printed on white pages only. It is not a distribution style that was printed on the color coded pages, depending on the re-write. It was used as either a master copy to make the scanned/colored copies from (back in the day it was quicker and cheaper to use a photo-copier to create the colored pages from rather than using the printers to do so), or was for the Script Supervisor for continuity tracking as that position does not typically use the colored pages. The actual colored copies are typically distributed to the cast or other positions in the crew as needed. Another copy of the full script is kept in the writers office that uses ALL colored pages as a master reference to track which changes have been made as the script proceeded through the writing and re-writing process. For more detail about this, please refer to the web site for. It is in pristine condition as it has been stored in a plastic protection cover bag with a cardboard backing to prevent damage/tears/folds. This item is the real deal, not a copy of a copy of a copy like a lot of other auctions that you’ll run into. Always kept in a non-smokers house! NO stains or other damage! The script is 118 pages in length. Written on March 16, 1994. Released in theaters on November 18, 1994. This version of the script has the alternate opening sequence that was mostly filmed that has James T. Kirk completing an orbital sky-dive that ends with him meeting up with Scotty and Chekov. Most of the remaining story beats are fairly close to what was filmed and ended up in the movie when it was released with other differences sprinkled here and there throughout the story as it progresses. The original title for the movie was “Star Trek: The Next Generation: The Feature” to somewhat mimic the title of the first original series film “Star Trek: The Motion Picture” before the title was finally altered to “Star Trek: Generations”. The cover seen here was created based on the logo as it appeared on pre-production drawings. (See reference photo above). Story synopsis quoted from the Star Trek web site (for the film as it released). In 2293, retired Starfleet officers James T. Kirk, Montgomery Scott, and Pavel Chekov attend the maiden voyage of the USS Enterprise -B. In 2371, the crew of the USS Enterprise -D is in a holodeck computer simulation, celebrating the promotion of shipmate Worf to lieutenant commander. Captain Jean-Luc Picard learns his brother and nephew have been killed in a fire and is distraught that the Picard family line will end with him. Enterprise receives a distress call from a stellar observatory, where an El-Aurian, Dr. Tolian Soran, launches a probe at the nearby star. The probe causes the star to implode, creating a shockwave that destroys its planetary system. Soran kidnaps Enterprise engineer Geordi La Forge and is transported off the station by a Klingon Bird of Prey belonging to the Duras sisters. Enterprise crew member Guinan tells Picard that she and Soran were among the El-Aurians rescued in 2293. Soran-who lost his family when their homeworld was destroyed-is obsessed with returning to the energy ribbon to reach the “Nexus”, an extra-dimensional realm of wish fulfillment that exists outside of normal space-time. Soran plans to destroy another star to bring the ribbon to the planet Veridian III, consequently killing millions on a nearby inhabited planet. The Duras sisters attack, and Enterprise sustains critical damage before destroying the Bird of Prey by triggering their cloaking device and firing photon torpedoes. When La Forge reports that the starship is about to suffer a warp-core breach as a result of the attack, Commander William Riker evacuates everyone to the forward saucer-section of the starship, which separates from the engineering section just before the breach occurs. The resulting shockwave sends the saucer-section crashing onto the surface of Veridian III. Picard fails to stop Soran from launching another probe. The resulting destruction of the Veridian star alters the course of the ribbon and Picard and Soran enter the Nexus before the shockwave destroys Veridian III. Picard finds himself surrounded by an idealized family, but realizes it is an illusion. He is confronted by an “echo” of Guinan left behind in the Nexus. Guinan sends him to meet James T. Kirk, safe in the Nexus. Though Kirk is initially entranced by the opportunity the Nexus offers to atone for past regrets, he realizes it lacks danger and excitement. Having learned that they can travel whenever and wherever desired through the Nexus, Picard convinces Kirk to return with him to Veridian III, shortly before Soran launches the probe. Working together, Kirk and Picard distract Soran long enough for Picard to lock the probe in place; it explodes on the launchpad and kills Soran. Kirk is fatally injured in the effort and Picard buries him at the site. Three Federation starships arrive to retrieve the Enterprise survivors from Veridian III. As a special bonus, this package also contains copies of the drawings for the. Enterprise NCC-1701-B & the Solar Observatory. These are copies of the original drawings that were given to the licensing department. They are not the original pencil drawings from the art department.
