Imagine Plans Pilot Based on Series Idea by ‘Star Trek’ Creator

Jan 22, 2010  •  Post A Comment

Imagine Entertainment will develop a pilot based on an unproduced series idea by "Star Trek" creator Gene Roddenberry, reports The Hollywood Reporter.

The late Roddenberry concocted another sci-fi series in the early ’70s called "The Questor Tapes," telling the story of an android in search of its creator to learn the meaning of its existence.

Son Rod Roddenberry, who is behind the project, told THR, "My father always felt that ‘Questor’ was the one that got away. He believed that the show had the potential to be bigger than ‘Star Trek.’"

"Questor" was turned into a TV movie with Robert Foxworth in 1974.

  1. The pilot has been in the works for years. One of the writers on Star Trek: The Next Generation, Herbert Wright, was working on it before he died in 2005. He was the 1st husband of a dear friend of mine and not getting this done before he was near death was a massive disappointment to him.

    Data, anyone?

  3. This is the same one.

  4. There was a tv movie on around 74 with Mike Farrell and Robert Foxworth as the android I liked the movie and was disapointed it didn’t get made into a series. But with the way sci-fi was in the 70’s on tv it would have ended up being bad because no money would have been spent on it.
