After Star Trek (1966) proved a success in syndication, Paramount Studios became interested in making a Star Trek film. Writers who contributed ideas or draft scripts in 1975-77 included Gene Roddenberry, Jon Povill, Robert Silverberg, John D.F. Black, Harlan Ellison, Theodore Sturgeon and Ray Bradbury. A story called "Star Trek: Planet of the Titans" was selected; Chris Bryant and Allan Scott wrote a script, which was then rewritten by Philip Kaufman. At this point, Guerre stellari (1977) burst upon the world, and Paramount Studios reacted by canceling "Star Trek: Planet of the Titans" before pre-production started. Allegedly, they thought there was not a sufficient market for another huge science-fiction film.
