Description

This film by Steven J. Boettcher and Michael J. Trinklein stars William Shatner and is narrated by Kelsey Grammer.  To be released on March 1, 2011.  Approximately 60 minutes.


On the small screen, classic science fiction programming entertains us, but it also challenges the limits of our humanity.


Storytellers Gene Roddenberry, Irwin Allen and Rod Sterling created the storylines and characters behind the best-loved futuristic television of their time.  But as Roddenberry's Star Trek competed for ratings with Allen's Lost in Space, each show's creator aimed for a very different direction.  This episode explores how Roddenberry and Sterling (of The Twilight Zone) used future as a stage for modern morality plays and William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, Nichelle Michols and other science-fiction stars describe how they prepared to interact on-camera with a malevolent alien force ... or, perhaps, a giant radish.
