On Episode 102 of the RETROZEST podcast, Curtis celebrates the 40th anniversary of STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN! This is the Star Trek film which saved the franchise in 1982, and is considered to be the best film of the franchise by many a Trekkie (including Curtis)! Assisting Curtis in this endeavor are two very special guests... First of all, there's LAURA BANKS, the actress who portrayed Khan's Navigator on the stolen USS Reliant. Laura shares a lot of great behind the scenes info on the making of the film, as well as her brief relationship will William Shatner; all of which is more intricately detailed in her upcoming book, Close Encounters With Captain Kirk: The Making of Star Trek II (and the Rest of It) as well as her Interview with Shatner on her Podcast! Also, legendary filmmaker STAN WOO chimes in and shares his fandom of the franchise, this film, and how all of it inspired him to make his own Star Trek fan film starring George Takei entitled YORKTOWN: A TIME TO HEAL! Back on Episode 090 of the RETROZEST podcast, Curtis celebrated this fan film with John Atkin, who first heard about the unfinished film in 1987 via Starlog Magazine Issue #119 and contacted Woo about it in 2010. Together they recruited a team of volunteer professionals to help finish the project. So the latter part of this episode serves as a bit of a part 2 to Episode 090! Additionally, Mr. Retrovere shares this week's Retro News segment. Incidentally, you may help the RetroZest podcast by purchasing a unique STAR TREK T-Shirt or two (many different designs and colors!) from our store at store.retrozest.com/startrek.

Henry Gibbens was part of the team that brought Yorktown to life, after decades of the live action 8mm film sitting stored on a shelf and while the Herculean editing efforts of John Atkin aren't to be ignored, the visual effects team pulled off an incredible stylistic challenge… The post Decades in the Making : The VFX of Yorktown: A Time to Heal appeared first on Trekzone.

On Episode 090 of the RETROZEST podcast, Curtis celebrates the upcoming release of the Star (Studded) Trek Fan Film YORKTOWN: A TIME TO HEAL! Production on this now legendary 8mm film featuring heavy-hitters George Takei and James Shigeta began in 1985 and abruptly stopped (unfinished) in 1987, 35 years ago as of the posting of this podcast episode in 2022. It centers around the activities of a sister ship of the USS Enterprise, the USS Yorktown, upon which Lt. Commander Hikaru Sulu serves as First Officer. For over 20 years, the unfinished film was put on hiatus. However, in 2010, a Trek fan named John Atkin (who first heard about the film in 1987 via Starlog Magazine Issue #119) contacted producer Stan Woo about the unfinished film, and together they recruited a team of volunteer professionals to help finish the project. The scenes which were never filmed in the 1980s, featuring an attack on the USS Yorktown, were filmed in Vancouver in 2013. Contributors include other Star Trek Fan Film creators like George Kayaian of Starship Antyllus and Todd Haberkorn of Star Trek Continues! So now, the film is FINALLY finished 35 years later! It will be released on YouTube and Vimeo on April 5 of this year, which in the ST universe is known as First Contact Day. The finished film also features a song by Canadian artist RAYNA entitled "Into the Unknown" during the end credits. So to celebrate, the man who teamed up with Stan Woo to complete the film, Mr. John Atkin, is Curtis' very special guest on this landmark 90th episode of the RetroZest podcast! John has a lot of fun info to share about the film and his involvement in its final completion. You're in for a big time treat if your a Trek fan! Incidentally, check out the Potemkin Pictures Star Trek Fan Film The Chronicles of Lanclos, in which Curtis briefly appeared!

For more than a decade, Bruce and Tiffany Halabisky have been travelling the world. Aboard their 1952, John Atkin-designed sailboat, Vixen, they’ve crossed the Atlantic three times, circumnavigated the globe, visited more than thirty countries, invited people of countless nationalities on board and, quite remarkably, welcomed two children into their lives. Daughters Soli-Anna and Seffa-Jane were born in New Zealand and Brazil respectively. Their amazing life is even the subject of a short documentary film, 'Vixen’s Voyage', which you can find at the Boat Radio website - go to www.boatradio.net and click 'video' on the main menu. Now, however, the Halabiskys are back on dry land, living on Orcas Island in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, just a few miles shy of the Canadian border. Their plan was to let the girls get to know grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins... But it seems the earth beneath their feet doesn’t quite agree with them. After just a few months, they’re already planning another passage. Mike McDowall spoke to this remarkable family a few weeks ago.

John Atkin Talks Yorktown: A Time to Heal. In 1985, Stan Woo began production on a Star Trek fan film that starred none other than George Takei. Yes, even as the Original Series cast were in the midst of making feature films, Sulu took to the screen in a fan production. That project was Yorktown: A Time to Heal. The only problem was that the film was never finished. But as Spock said, there are always possibilities; and that’s where John Atkin comes in. In this episode of the official Axanar podcast, hosts Robert Meyer Burnett and Alec Peters are joined by John to talk about his project to see Yorktown through to completion. John shares how he first learned about the fan film, why he decided to make sure it got completed, the progress being made, and much more.
