Star Trek: The God Thing
''Star Trek: The God Thing'' is an unproduced film written by ''Star Trek'' series creator Gene Roddenberry that reached the script phases of production. Following the success of ''Star Trek'' in broadcast syndication during the early 1970s, Paramount Studios sought to produce a feature film based on the property. The film's plot follows the ''Enterprise'' crew after the events of ''The Original Series'': when an alien entity declares itself God and begins travel to Earth, Admiral James T. Kirk reunites the crew, who send it back to its own dimension. Roddenberry completed the story on June 30, 1976, but Paramount rejected the script for reasons Roddenberry attributed to the religious views of company executives. The story was rewritten as ''In Thy Image'' for the proposed television series ''Star Trek: Phase II'' and then as ''Star Trek: The Motion Picture''.
After Paramount rejected the film, Roddenberry sought to produce ''The God Thing'' as a novel in the late 1970s. He signed a deal with Bantam Books to publish it, but was given extensions because of his work; first on ''Phase II'' and then ''The Motion Picture''. During this period, ''Star Trek'' actor Walter Koenig helped Roddenberry expand the novel. In 1991, shortly before Roddenberry's death, his assistant Susan Sackett rediscovered the work on the novel. She contacted Pocket Books, which wanted to publish it; discussions to hire Sackett and Fred Bronson to expand it to novel length were held, but negotiations stopped after Roddenberry's death and Sackett's dismissal from ''Star Trek: The Next Generation''. Michael Jan Friedman was later engaged to expand the work but it went unpublished. ''The God Thing'' has been compared to the film ''Star Trek V: The Final Frontier'' that dealt with similar religious concepts.
==Background==
NBC canceled ''Star Trek'' following the third season in 1969, but the episodes were released into broadcast syndication where they were successful. Because of this success and fans' responses at science fiction conventions held in honor of the series, Paramount Pictures soon sought to create a movie based on the series. By March 1972, series creator Gene Roddenberry said there was interest in a ''Star Trek'' feature film, and that the series could return to television on NBC.〔Reeves-Stevens & Reeves-Stevens (1997): p. 12〕
