	Harve Bennett: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com - All about Harve Bennett
		Harve Bennett (b August 17, 1930) is an American TV and film producer and scriptwriter, perhaps best known for being the producer on the second through to fifth Star Trek films[?].
		Bennett was bought on as producer of the as-then unnamed Star Trek II in mid-late 1980, primarily because Paramount rated his ability to manage production budgets (the film ended up using a third to a quarter of the budget of the first).
		During the making of the fourth however, Bennett's relationship with Leonard Nimoy, the director, and Paramount deteriorated, and Bennett decided to leave, due to the fact that it looked inevitable that Nimoy would direct the fifth film.

		The film was a huge success, and Bennett was retained as producer for the successful (but poorly received) third film, and the hugely successful fourth.
		Reshoots meant that the film had to be released in a similar timeframe to Batman, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Ghostbusters 2, and despite a strong opening weekend, the film's box-office collapsed and ended up making barely half that of the previous entry.
		Bennett believed the problem was that the crew had become stagnant, and pitched an idea which would show the early days of the crew at Starfleet Academy.

	Ex Machina (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Bennett's novel, set directly after the events of the less loved first Trek movie, takes the earnest, grey-and-earth-toned era of that first motion picture and saturates it with the kind of color and character richness that made the original series such a delight.
		In Bennett's follow-up, the world-ship, Yonada, has arrived at its promised land — a clement planet in the same system as the inhabited word it nearly clobbered in the TV episode — and the young colony that has sprung up is already rife with division and the backlash that accompanies sweeping social change.
		Bennett regards this moment in Trek lore as a reinvention of the concept and the characters, and he creates all the old names and ideas afresh.

		Harve Bennett: "I also realized that as a whole, I liked Star Trek’; a lot, because it was optimistic and because it made an inordinate contribution to science fiction by daring to state that human beings would not change a great deal over time.
		Harve Bennett: "The main thing that rang false about the first film was that the characters had gone 20 years and hadn’t aged which, to my way of thinking, was totally unbelievable.
		Bennett’s first one-page outline for the new film was Star Trek: The War Of The Generations, which included the return of Khan Noonian Singh – the villain from the episode " Space Seed," who would eventually became a central focus of the film.

		But NBC and Bennett claimed to detect a heartbeat in the invisible bosom, and they are trying again this season with Ben Murphy as Gemini Man.
		As befits the man who is perhaps the most successful creator of humanoids since Frankenstein, Bennett sees the problem of constructing a new Invisible Man as primarily one of design.
		A one-time Quiz Kid on the old radio series, Bennett has an analytical turn of mind and he ticked off the problems of the old version the way an experienced pilot goes through a preflight checklist.

	Needcoffee.com DVD Review: Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989)
		Cooked up by Shatner (with help from Harve Bennett), the tale is at the very least out of keeping with Roddenberry's steadfastly atheist universe and at worst impossibly lame and goofy.
		Harve Bennett could have stopped this mess at any point, but enthusiastically followed Shatner over the cliff.
		Likewise, screenwriter Loughery was a nearly untested talent to be given the scripting reins on such a storied and valuable franchise, and doesn't seem to have been able to correct the excesses of the story's concept (or he simply got over-ruled as the "new guy" in the franchise).

		It was a movie about how Kirk, Spock, and the 30 year old McCoy met one another at "Starfleet Academy" (which would have also been the movie's title), and tells the story of their first adventure together.
		Bennett said that we would have seen the relationship between Kirk and Carol and the time Kirk re-programmed the Kobyashi Maru training simiulation, to name only a few of the story points.
		Harve Bennett would get story credit of course, but bring in Nick Meyer as screenwriter and director, Ralph Winter as producer, and Bill Shatner and Leonard Nimoy as Executive Producers (who would also probably contribute to the story...they're advice will be invaluble).

		Having been credited simply for "story" before, this was producer Harve Bennett's first solo screenplay, and his inexperience shows time and again.
		Nimoy and Bennett are the main attractions here, and their reminiscences about the conception and making of Search for Spock are authoritative, insightful, and free of fluff and filler.
		Nimoy in particular is a wealth of fondly told anecdotes about his first-time directing job, the difficulties and triumphs preserved in the film, his relationship with Shatner, and his life as Spock.
