Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (project)
After the "Unleashed" franchise was discontinued following Disney's decision to refresh the "Star Wars" canon in favor of producing a sequel trilogy, Sam Witwer, Marek's voice actor, revealed that Dave Filoni, the creator of the "Star Wars Rebels" animated series, considered bringing Marek back into the new canon and having him appear in that series, but ultimately decided against it because he could not find a way to do so without compromising either the new canon's quality or the character's unique distinctions.
Star Trek: The Motion Picture
On March 28, 1978, Paramount assembled the largest press conference held at the studio since Cecil B. DeMille announced he was making "The Ten Commandments". Eisner announced that Academy Award-winning director Robert Wise would direct a film adaptation of the television series titled "Star Trek—The Motion Picture". Wise had seen only a few "Star Trek" episodes, so Paramount gave him about a dozen to watch. The budget was projected at $15 million. Dennis Clark ("Comes a Horseman") was invited to rewrite the script and to include Spock, but he disliked Roddenberry, who demanded sole credit. Livingston returned as writer, and though he also found Roddenberry unreasonable, Wise and Katzenberg convinced him to continue rewriting the script throughout production.
