The View from the Bridge

Memories of Star Trek and a Life in Hollywood

De: Nicholas Meyer

Narrado por: Nicholas Meyer

When Nicholas Meyer was asked to direct the troubled second Star Trek film, he was something less than a true believer. A best-selling author and successful director, he had never been a fan of the TV series. But as he began to ponder the appeal of Kirk, Spock, et al., he realized that their story was a classical nautical adventure yarn transplanted into space and - armed with that insight - set out on his mission: to revitalize Trek.

Phenominal

I came to this book because I loved Star Trek II, The Wrath of Khan. That is but a small part in an amazing life. At various points he says things that I have to describe as words of wisdom that are things I plan on repeating when the time is right. Amazing book.

An engaging and breezy listen.

Finally, someone I can relate to, spoken in a very casual way. Must listen for film enthusiasts!

Great for fans of the original Star Trek films

Nick Meyer knows his subjects, and listening to him is a joy. Highly recommended, especially for Star Trek fans, or those who want a view of Hollywood from the '70s to the present.

A must-listen for filmmakers

f you are interested in screenwriting, directing, Hollywood, Sherlock Holmes, Star Trek or how smart people solve problems and recognize their mistakes, you will be hard-pressed to find a more thoughtful and entertaining memoir than Nicholas Meyer's The View from the Bridge.
