GalaxyCon, the largest independently owned consumer fan engagement company, is thrilled to announce a special 35th-anniversary screening of “Star Trek V: The Final Frontier,” hosted by the legendary William Shatner who will provide a live running commentary about the making of this classic Star Trek film to picture. This unique once-in-a-lifetime event will occur on Sunday, August 18, 2024, at the San Jose Convention Center’s Main Theater.
William Shatner, who directed and starred as Captain James T. Kirk in “Star Trek V: The Final Frontier,” will provide live commentary during the screening and reveal for the first time what he loves and loathes about the film. This will offer fans an exclusive, behind-the-scenes perspective on making the critically underrated motion picture and marks Shatner’s first foray into live commentary. It will not be a traditional Q&A but rather a continuing dialogue with the audience along with the film as he reveals for the first time the challenges and triumphs of directing his first big-budget movie.
This special event will be moderated by Mark A. Altman, the acclaimed writer/producer of the beloved cult classic “Free Enterprise” starring Shatner himself and Eric McCormack, along with his Inglorious Treksperts podcast co-hosts Daren Dochterman (associate producer, Star Trek: The Motion Picture – Director’s Edition) and Ashley E. Miller (writer, Thor, X-Men: First Class). He is also the author of the bestselling two-volume book “The 50 Year Mission: The Complete Oral History of Star Trek” from St. Martin’s Press and a respected TV showrunner.
