星际迷航:联邦星舰进取号完全图解
“宇宙——最后的边疆。这是星舰进取号的旅程,她所肩负的五年任务她所肩负的使命,是去探索陌生的新世界,去寻找新的生命和新的文明,勇敢地航向前人未至之境!” 1966年首播,六大系列共726集电视剧和电视动画,1979年首部电影上映,2013年第12部电影即将登上大银幕。这些令人震惊的数字让你想起了什么?这不是脑筋急转弯,甚至不用搜肠刮肚,每一位科幻迷都应该能够直截了当地道出答案——《星际迷航》(Star Trek)。 如果这个世上还有一部电视剧可以称得上伟大,那么《星际迷航》系列是当之无愧的,它代表了人类历史上迄今无法超越的科幻巅峰!《星际迷航》已经成为一部历史,人们关心着舰长们的前途,为星舰上的乘员身陷困境而揪心,没有哪部电视剧集能够如此深刻地影响好几代人。 当乔治•卢卡斯的绝地武士挥舞着光剑把美国人从越战后的低迷中拯救出来时,更早的《星际迷航》已将人们带到了另一个美好的世界——那时人类已经学会如何彼此和平相处,他们向着前人未至之境勇往直前,和来自不同星球的智慧生命组成了星际联邦,并且不断地探索着新的世界。 还记得2009年号称“不再是你父辈的《星际迷航》”的第11部电影上映后,不但翘首以待多年的Trekker们夙愿得偿,狂轰滥炸的媒体报道同时也将千千万万的新影迷们吸引进了影院。但几乎所有的媒体报道和评论都忽略了支撑起这个科幻世界的另一块重要基石,即《星际迷航》系列的相关文字作品——电影、电视剧集以及文字作品相辅相成缺一不可,它们一同精致而系统地构建出了这个数百年后的美好新世界。 《星际迷航》系列的相关文字作品的数量和剧集数量同样惊人。当《星际迷航》迎来它的46岁(1966-2012)生日时,这个庞大的系列已经拥有了不计其数的衍生周边产品,其中包括上千部小说和漫画。国内出版社分别于1980年和1983年推出了以首部电影剧情为基础的电影小说译本和连环画。这应该是国人第一次真正意义上接触《星际迷航》这个系列了。不少Trekker当时还只是学生,就是通过这本小说了解了《星际迷航》,被它探索未知世界的进取精神和乌托邦式的未来构想所吸引,幻想着自己有一天也能翱翔星空。时至今日,在许多学校和社会图书馆中依然能找到它的身影,这“第一次接触”让《星际迷航》开始了它的中国之旅。遗憾的是,从那以后三十年来国内便再未正式翻译出版过《星际迷航》的任何文字作品。但民间自发的译介工作从未停止过,飞翔网(http://bbs.flyine.net)作为国内最著名的科幻论坛之一,便长期致力于《星际迷航》系列作品的推广,培养团结了相当数量的Trekker。 从进取号NX-01到柯克舰长的进取号NCC-1701再到皮卡德舰长的进取号NCC-1701-D——海恩斯公司出版的这本指南详细剖析了这些卓越的星舰。本书不但回顾了每一艘星舰的历史,还介绍了星舰各系统的技术细节,对关键的技术,例如传送装置技术和曲速航行技术还做了深入的讨论。从这些内容中,您对这些星舰的能量来源、武器装备和运作原理都能有所了解。 本书插图内容丰富,不但每一艘进取号都配上了全舰剖视图,舰上的关键系统、内部空间也都配有剖视图。不仅如此,为外部视角也配有更新更详细的视图,这些图片均出自一位原《星际迷航》视觉效果设计师之手。 海恩斯公司出版的这本指南已获哥伦比亚广播公司以及技术顾问迈克•奥田的完全授权。迈克•奥田曾为《星际迷航》影视系列的制作奉献了二十年光阴。 -
I Am Not Spock
WHO IS THIS MAN? To a watching world he is the logical, powerful, stalwart first officer of the Starship Enterprise-the adored object of millions of Star Trek fans. For 3 years, 12 hours a day, 5 days a week, he functioned as the half-human, half-Vulcan Mr. Spock, an extraterrestrial. He is not. He is Leonard Nimoy. An actor. A teacher, A writer. A father. A husband. A real flesh-and-blood human being. Now while the phenomenal popularity of Star Trek still grows, Nimoy doffs the pointy ears and placid face and reveals himself totally-his relationship with fellow actors; the backstage frenzies; the near cancellation of Star Trek; the lean years; the loneliness, the battles and the ultimate struggle to survive his own success! IF HE IS NOT SPOCK, WHO IS? IF HE IS NOT SPOCK, WHO IS HE? WHAT IS THE LOGICAL ANSWER? -
Star Trek Memories
Fans of TV's 1960s science fiction series Star Trek will go into orbit over lead player Shatner's candid, captivating reminiscence, packed with stellar anecdotes and backstage lore. Writing with help from MTV editorial director Kreski, Shatner reveals details of day-to-day work--and some of the fights with nervous studio executives who were not quite ready for the future. Problematic were writer/producer Gene Roddenberry's proposal that the starship's strong, efficient first officer, "Number One," be played by a woman, namely Majel Barrett who later became the softer, secondary character Nurse Chapel; the casting of Leonard Nimoy as the pointy-eared alien Dr. Spock; and the interracial kiss scripted for Shatner and Nichelle Nichols. We learn that every episode was filmed in the "ridiculously inadequate timespan" of six days, with one week for preproduction, creating excessive pressure on many actors and members of the film crew. Aided by recollections of other cast members, Shatner's memoir covers everything from turf wars to special effects in an appealing, humorous tone. Illustrations include stills, photos and drawings of sets. Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. -
From Sawdust to Stardust
In the forty-year history of Star Trek ®, none of the television show's actors are more beloved than DeForest Kelley. His portrayal of Leonard "Bones" McCoy, the southern physician aboard the Starship Enterprise ™, brought an unaffected humanity to the groundbreaking space frontier series. Jackson DeForest Kelley came of age in Depression-era Georgia. He was raised on the sawdust trail, a preacher's kid steeped in his father's literal faith and judgment. But De's natural artistic gifts called him to a different way, and a visit to California at seventeen showed a bright new world. Theater and radio defined his early career -- but it was a World War II training film he made while serving in the Army Air Corps that led to his first Paramount Studios contract. After years of struggle, his lean, weathered look became well known in notable westerns and television programs such as You Are There and Bonanza. But his work on several pilots for writer-producer Gene Roddenberry changed his destiny and the course of cultural history. This thoroughly researched actor's life is about hard work and luck, loyalty and love. It is a journey that takes us all...from sawdust to stardust. -
