    STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN was released 43 years ago this week. Acclaimed as the best entry in the Star Trek film series, and featuring one of the biggest movie deaths, the story behind the scenes doesn’t believe in no-win scenarios… 1/59

    Books to Films 📚=🎞️ Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982) by Vonda N. McIntyre is a novelization of the film. The book adds much depth including making Saavik a Vulcan-Romulan hybrid, giving Scotty a nephew onboard, & elevating Joachim a Khan follower inner monologues. 🖖🏻💫👨‍🚀 #filmsky #booksky

    I know Jaws is my #1 film of all time but I could quote Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan by heart. And James Horner’s score is just perfection.

    Went to a vintage film convention over the weekend and nabbed this early Star Trek II script—with Spock actually dying, no Khan recognizing Chekov, etc. It's readily available online, but still kinda fun to have! (Bonus: Pebbles the one-eyed cat appearance.)

    In 1982, STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN jump-started both the TREK franchise and Horner's career as a film composer. His swashbuckling score gave director Nicholas Meyer exactly what he wanted. One of my all-time favorite James Horner cues👇 A fantastic scene and score. 2/5 #filmsky #moviesky #BOTD

    Tonight was the first time I've ever seen the Director's Cut of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan in the theater, and it was great. It's nice to be able to see the film and *not* be able to recite virtually every single word. (Also, even though the tweaks are small, I love what they add to the film.)

    Yeah, it’s anything but random. All the episodes chosen have elements and themes shared with the movie they’re paired with. In particular, *Star Trek II* is a sequel to *Space Seed*, the episode that introduces Khan.

    This movie was when I first became conscious that film composers had unique styles, because James Horner’s Krull score sounded exactly like his Star Trek II score, but cranked up to eleven.

    2. Star Trek II: the Wrath of Khan Speaking of tightly plotted movies: this is an example of what a savvy producer can achieve on a shoestring budget. It's a fantastic film even beyond its genre trappings, weaving in themes of aging, obsession, and the consequences of our actions.
