Patrick Stewart Says He Has a Complete Collection of Next Generation Scripts and Call Sheets and Wonder What to do with Them

Features

By GustavoLeao / 07:36, 4 October 2011 / General Star Trek

The Craven Herald posted a new interview with Star Trek The Next Generation star Patrick Stewart and here is an excerpt.

“[...] when I started filming Star Trek the Next Generation, at my first day of filming we were getting new pages every day… rewrites, rewrites. They came for seven years. Rewrites were the bane of my existence. And every new rewrite was a different coloured page. Sometimes we would work our way through all the colours and start again and work through them.

“I was sitting on the set next to an actor I’d only just met, Brett Spiner, who became one of my dearest friends – he played Data, the android.

“I was collating the scripts, getting new pages, taking the old pages out and tossing them in the recycling bin and Brett said: ‘Don’t do that. Throw nothing away. Save everything’.

“The end result is we have just finished collating my complete collection of 178 original scripts with all the different coloured pages, and the call sheets for every day and I’m deciding now what to do with them.”

Or does he not take his own advice?

I suppose they could replace the Sears and Roebuck in the 21st century outhouse...

For some huge charity, sell them on eBay or through Christies, that is after making copies for museums and direct sale.

Burn them onstage at a Star Trek convention. It would be priceless. ;-)

I would put them up for auction, and then donate the money to a charity...I highly doubt doubt Stewart needs the money.

Donate them to a museum | Report this post to moderator

Seriously, rather than scattering them to the 4 winds or relying on some fan with deep pockets to preserve them, The Paley Center for Media in Hollywood, for example, would be a fantastic place to store these for study (especially with the rewrites saved). Or, alternately, a university library (I'm sure Stewart's probably got an honorary doctorate from somewhere). I'm not aware of there being a serious Star Trek-based museum as yet.
