Behind-The-Scenes

Twin Peaks

Após seis séries de tv, treze longas e cinco décadas como ícone da cultura pop, Jornada nas estrelas se tornou uma das franquias mais duradouras e rentáveis de Hollywood. Na mesma época da estreia no Brasil de Star Trek: Sem fronteiras, nova adaptação para os cinemas, a Globo Livros lança o primeiro volume de 50 anos de Jornada nas estrelas. A coleção reúne histórias de bastidores narradas por pessoas diretamente ligadas à série, como seu criador Gene Roddenberry. Repleto de revelações surpreendentes, cartas, roteiros alterados e memorandos trocados entre a equipe, este primeiro volume aborda o período que vai da criação do conceito da série original estrelada por William Shatner e Leonard Nimoy até os anos seguintes ao seu cancelamento. Jornada nas Estrelas foi uma das primeiras séries a debater questões como política e injustiça social e foi também uma das primeiras a apresentar um elenco multicultural e multirracial. Talvez por isso a série tenha conquistado uma legião de fãs apaixonados, que inclui nomes que vão de Martin Luther King Jr. a Barack Obama, de Angelina Jolie a Eddie Murphy. Para mostrar como o lendário piloto lendário criado por Roddenberry vendera há cinco décadas viria a se tornar uma franquia que impactou o mundo, dois dos maiores especialistas mundiais em ficção científica, Edward Gross e Mark A. Altman, conversaram com profissionais e personalidades que tornaram esse fenômeno possível. Além do genial criador de Jornada nas estrelas, a dupla ouviu produtores de cinema e tv, executivos de emissoras de televisão, roteiristas, diretores como J. J. Abrams Philip Kaufman e Robert Wise, e membros do elenco, como William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy e Nichelle Nichols, que interpretaram respectivamente os lendários capitão Kirk, sr. Spock e tenente Uhura. Dedicado tanto aos fãs da franquia e aos apaixonados pela cultura pop quanto àqueles que querem conhecer um pouco mais sobre os surpreendentes bastidores das produções hollywoodianas, 50 anos de Jornada nas estrelas é a coleção definitiva sobre uma série que se tornou objeto de culto e um verdadeiro mito contemporâneo.
