Limited Edition Script for the Original Star Trek Pilot Episode ‘The Cage’ Marks Launch of Publishing Endeavor to Include Scripts and Limited Edition Merchandise From the Entire Star Trek Television Franchise
Roddenberry.com and CafePress.com announced today a publishing partnership that will bring the original scripts for the Star Trek TV franchise, and limited edition merchandise to fans worldwide. The project, which plans to release limited edition volumes each month over the next three years, will include scripts for The Original Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, Enterprise, and The Animated Series.
The first book in the series is the script for the original Star Trek pilot episode “The Cage,” and is available now at www.cafepress.com/roddenberry . The book will retail for $24.99 and will only be available for sale until September 5th, 2006. Included in “The Cage” script book is a very special foreword by Eugene “Rod” Roddenberry, the only son of creator Gene Roddenberry, providing his thoughts on this historic episode.
“On Star Trek’s 40th birthday, we really want to show our gratitude to the fans. We realized that access to all of the original Star Trek scripts in a finished volume format was something really unique, but even that didn’t seem to match our level of appreciation,” explains Rod. “So, we came up with a new way to share my father with fans. We have inserted a different picture of him into each volume along with a memorable quote, reminding us of his spirit. Out of the over 2,000 Roddenberry.com products, previously we have only used one picture of my father. Authorizing the use of these pictures and quotes is something we have never done before.”
