Filming started just a few days ago, on Feburary 24th.
Expected compleation date is May 12th, 1986. One can only guess,
at this point, on the complete story idea. But based on discus-
sion and other items discovered the story looks as follows:
WARNING - STORY RUMORS FOLLOW
With the cast selected and some set descriptions it appears
as though the fabled crew of the Enterprise arrive on earth after
some negotiations on the Planet Vulcan and arrive on Earth, poss-
ibly still in the Klingon Bird-of-Prey. In fact, that looks very
likely. The Earth they arrive at is, Now. Not listed in the
above cast call ars a number of current age characters including,
the ever-popular FBI agent. This is beginning to look, very
much like a remake of the Gary Seven episode.
Other tidbits of information disclose assistance in the
Special Effects department by Industrial Light and Magic. Some
additional footage has been shot here in San Diego using the USS
Ranger on North Island. In addition some location work was done
at Will Rodgers State Park, including the inital landing. Some
joggers are included as atmosphere.
Well that about raps up what can be said now. Much of what
I know is old by now. But this little scrap of information
should feed the rumor mills for some time, as we discuss the
possible future of Paramont film production #31797.

You mean "now" like 1986? Wait a second...*that* doesn't make any
sense...
I think it should be called "Star Trek 4: The Court Martial".

It should not be called "Star Trek 4: The Court Martial", because
Kirk is not going to court martialed by Star Fleet. This aspect of the reper-
cussions of Star Trek III have already been covered in DC's Star Trek comic.
You may not like it, but it all stories are approved by Gene R. and Paramount.
DC cannot print any story that does not fit into the official Star Trek uni-
verse.
By the way, you should read the Star Trek Annual #1 and see what a
jerk Kirk can really be!

They were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Naturally they became heroes.

the Enterprise warped back into the 60's by accident? perhaps
something like that happens again.

Well, I heard something like Kirk et. al. zip back in time to mess
around with Kahn's kind of people...
You know: no superhuman race, no suspended animation, no Seti Alpha 5,
no Genesis Machine but mostly *NO DESTRUCTION OF THE ENTERPRISE!!*
I wondered how they were going to get it back!

were succesfull, you could never believe any of the stories again. Imagine:
The new enterprise and the Klingons go into fierce battle. The Enterprise
is (gasp!) DESTROYED. BUT WAIT- Here goes Admiral Kirk back in time. No
problem - if at first you dont succeed, hit the old restart button by going
back in time and try again. No, the writers would be doing themselves a
great injustice if they took the easy way out. Now - if they discovered that
Kahn had gone back in time because of some control he found on
Alpha Ceti 6 and reworked things, they could perhaps (perhaps?) justify
the cheap way out. Either way, should be interesting.

Absolutely. But here's another possibility: go back in time with the Klingon
scout ship, after Khan and his people have gone into suspended animation. Blow
the Botany Bay out of space ("We are Klingons!") and go forward in time. Then
(1) Enterprise would never have encountered Botany Bay, so that none of the
havoc caused by Khan and crew would have happened, (2) this would restore Lt.
McGivers to the Enterprise crew [who cares?], and (3) Reliant never would have
found Khan and survivors on Ceti Alpha V. Of course, that probably means that
the Federation would have tested Genesis in a controlled environment (that
planet), no one would die testing it, and they would then discard Genesis when
the experiment proves it has some major flaws. Basically, none of the events
from ST2 and ST3 would have happened.

Partly because she was so beat up after battling Khan.

You're probably right.
