[QUOTE]Originally posted by Triton: [QB] Yep, Eddie Murphy said that he was a Trek fan and wanted a part in the next "Star Trek" film, which at this time was the yet unproduced Trek IV. This was when he was at the zenith of his career with the recently released [i]Beverly Hills Cop[/i] and [i]48 Hours[/i]. A time when his films actually made the studio money before flops like [i]Pluto Nash[/i]. (By the way, was that film ever released? Saw a coming attraction documentary about it, and then heard of it again.) The idea of Eddie Murphy in a Trek film was quickly torpedoed by fans who vehemently opposed it in a letter writing campaign. Paramount relented. So one of things that I would like to determine is was the Eddie Murphy role serious or comedic? I would also like to determine if the Eddie Murphy-included script is substantially different from the shooting script of [i]Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home[/i]. PS-- I would also be interested if anyone had access to unproduced material from any of the Trek iterations, I don't intend to be exclusive to the TOS cast. I just know a little bit more about the unproduced TOS material. A few years later we heard rumors that Christian Slater was a huge Trek fan and wanted a role in Trek VI, which he got, although small. [/QB][/QUOTE]
