Star Trek: Of Gods and Men
Star Trek: Of Gods and Men is a three-part unofficial Star Trek fan mini-series which has been announced for release in December 2006. Because it is not endorsed by Paramount Television, it is not considered an official Star Trek production, although it includes many cast members from the original series and movies. It is described by its producers as a "40th Anniversary gift" from Star Trek actors to their fans. Principal photography began July 12 2006.
The series is directed by a team of Tim Russ and J. G. Hertzler. Russ, best known for playing Tuvok on Star Trek: Voyager, previously directed one episode of that series. Hertzler was a character actor who appeared in many roles across several Star Trek series, but whose only recurring role was as General Martok on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. According to the IMDB, he does not have any directing experience.
According to the press release, the mini-series stars Nichelle Nichols as Uhura, Walter Koenig as Pavel Chekov, and Grace Lee Whitney as Janice Rand. It also features Alan Ruck reprising his role as Captain John Harriman from Star Trek: Generations. Other Star Trek actors to appear (though not necessarily in the roles that they originally played) include Garrett Wang (Ensign Harry Kim from Voyager), Chase Masterson ( Leeta from DS9), and Gary Graham (Ambassador Soval from Enterprise). The series was written by DS9 writers Jack Trevino and Ethan H. Calk. Douglas Knapp is the director of photography and previously worked on Voyager.
