STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT
Guest: Writer Brannon Braga and Show Runner of the television series “Enterprise”<br>
Hollywood’s Master Storytellers, the prestigious film series based at ArcLight Hollywood, celebrates the world of “Star Trek” on Tuesday, June 15 at 7:30 PM with a presentation of the feature film STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT. In 1966, the late Gene Roddenberry first introduced a television series that would ultimately become a billion dollar industry with the words, “Space – the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise...” A mediocre performer with the Nielsen ratings during its initial three year network run, STAR TREK’s fans proved to be exceptionally passionate.
As a result, Mr. Roddenberry’s creation, initially described as “Wagon Train to the Stars,” would ultimately become a global phenomenon, spurring five hit television series and nine dozen feature films based on both Classic “Star Trek” and “Star Trek: The Next Generation” (ST:TNG) which successfully re-invented a television classic, becoming one of the crown jewels of Paramount’s television library. For many fans, STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT is the best film to date based on ST:TNG, thanks largely to a screenplay by veteran ST:TNG writers/producers Rick Berman and Brannon Braga that showcases all the qualities that made ST:TNG a solid hit for seven seasons.
STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT’s writer, Brannon Braga joins HMS host Dennis Michael for a lively post-film Q&A. Braga began as a writer on ST:TNG and rose through the ranks, writing and producing subsequent STAR TREK series, including “Deep Space Nine,” “Voyager” and “Enterprise,” which was recently renewed for a fourth season on UPN.
Tickets are now on sale for STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT and other HMS events both online at www.arclightcinemas.com and at the ArcLight box office. ArcLight Hollywood is located at 6360 Sunset Blvd. at Vine. (323) 464-4226
