Unproduced Star Trek script discovered

A long lost script for an unproduced episode of Star Trek is now available as an eBook.

A long lost script for an unproduced episode of Star Trek has emerged -45 years after it was penned.

The original unproduced script by author Norman Spinrad for “He Walked Among Us” was intended as a vehicle for comedian Milton Berle to debut as a serious actor.

But the script was rewritten, with line producer Gene Cook adding in humourous lines that turned it into ‘an unfunny comedy’.

Spinrad complained to producer Gene Roddenberry about the changes and asked him not to have it shot, and Roddenberry agreed.

Spinrad thought his original script had been lost before a fan recently presented him with a copy to autograph. He has now made it available on Amazon’s Kindle Store for $9 US.
