Rare Behind the Scenes Photos From STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN
Titan Books is releasing a new book that will offer an in-depth behind-the-scenes look at the fan-favorite 1982 Star Trek movie Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
The book is titled Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan - The Making of the Classic Film, and it offers rare photos, unpublished production art, and exclusive interviews with those who were involved in the making of the film. Thanks to Gizmodo, we have some of those photos and art to share with you here, and it’s so cool to get a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the making of the movie.
The description of the book reads: “Just over 40 years ago, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan saw Kirk and the U.S.S. Enterprise crew face one of the greatest foes in Star Trek history, Khan Noonien Singh, as well as the death of Spock. Celebrate this landmark anniversary by taking a deep dive into the stories behind this iconic science fiction classic. This beautiful coffee-table book is full to the brim with rare and previously unpublished archival material, behind-the-scenes photography, production art, cut scenes, script extracts, and much more, alongside new and exclusive interviews with the creatives, including director Nicholas Meyer.”
The book was written by John Tenuto and Maria Jose Tenuto, and this is their joint author biography: “John first saw Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan at the Esquire Theatre in Chicago on opening night with his late father Vincent. When John and Maria Jose were married, their wedding song was the theme to Star Trek: Voyager ... They have been featured in the Netflix TV show The Toys That Made Us and the History Channel’s The Center Seat: 55 Years of Star Trek docuseries, and have been invited to speak at the Official Star Trek Convention, the St. Louis Science Center, and by the future birthplace of James T. Kirk, Riverside, Iowa, and the town of Vulcan, Alberta, Canada.”
The book will be released on September 5, but you can check out the preview images below!
