So you've picked up this VIDIOT and want to know about the new movie that features both Darth Vader and the Starship Enterprise?
You mean you don't already know?
It's called The Jedi's Trek, and rumors are already circulating that it'll by the biggest moneymaker the world has even seen. Co-produced by George Lucas and Gene Roddenberry, and directed by Steven Spielberg, it's been an extremely hushed-up blockbuster very few have been privy to. And it's due to open on Christmas Day, 1 984.
The plan? Simple.
• Dual promotion by both Universal and 20th Century-Fox, who’ll publicize the film both in the States and overseas.
• Simultaneous publication of William Kotzwinkle's The Jedi Trek, adapted from the screenplay, as a hardbound by Simon & Schuster ($20 for the first run, excluding 500"special autographed editions" at $100 each) and a Bantam paperback, bearing a hefty $4.95 price tag.
• A two-hour PBS special, narrated by Carl Sagan and Richard Dreyfuss, titled "The Making Of The Jedi's Trek," to be aired on Easter Sunday, 1985.
