		Director Nicholas Meyer and "Khan" himself, Ricardo Montalban, were the honored guests of the night at the Paramount Theater, where the DVD was projected on the big screen for cast and crew members, Paramount employees, and other special guests including winners of a recent STARTREK.COM drawing (related story).
		Meyer thanked the people at Paramount along with all others responsible for bringing this DVD to fruition, but he regretted that certain key people could not be present — namely, the late Bibi Besch ("Carol Marcus"), Merritt Butrick ("David Marcus"), editor William P. Dornish, and art director Michael Minor.
		Meyer closed his remarks by saying, "The question I'm most often asked, which I will now answer, not for the first time: Yes, it is his real chest." With that, he introduced his personal "Maserati" — Ricardo Montalban, who received a thunderous standing ovation.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country" DVD review (1991) Nicholas Meyer, William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy
		So is it any wonder that both films were co-written and directed by the same man? Nicholas Meyer, who was a "Trek" novice before "Khan," helped shape "Trek's" future by lending this film the kind of gravitas that became a hallmark of every "Trek" that followed on the big screen and the small.
		The commentary with director Meyer and screenwriter Denny Martin Flinn is fascinating in its own right, as they talk about all the technical elements, money-saving tidbits and inspirations for the film, including Shakespeare and other classical literature, "The Manchurian Candidate," "Seven Days in May," Agatha Christie mysteries and several trial movies.
		There's a mini-doc about the history of Klingons, footage of Meyer's 1991 convention appearance at which he showed a sneak peek of the film, a short featurette on actors who have appeared in several "Trek" incarnations, another with the "Trek" props queen touring her toy box on the Paramount lot.

	STARTREK.COM : Article
		Writer/director Nicholas Meyer spoke about the movie — and his career in general — at a Borders bookstore Tuesday night in Los Angeles, as part of a promotion for the new Special Edition DVD of the sixth Trek movie, which went on sale that day.
		The main purpose of his appearance was to autograph DVD covers, but he drew such an audience — an overflow crowd of at least 60 — that he spoke for nearly an hour, taking questions from a very inquisitive and admiring group, before actually signing.
		A typical conversation Meyer had with people after the movie came out went like one he recalled having with his dentist ("Well, you talk to them sometimes") a few months after that historic time.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" DVD review (1982) Nicholas Meyer, William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, ...
		Ricardo Montalban chews scenery with style and conviction in the title role as he commandeers another Star Fleet vessel with his rag-tag followers and engages in visually spectacular, submarine-like combat to the death with the Enterprise inside a nebula.
		Surprisingly, the film was made on the cheap, and director Nicholas Meyer explains in great detail on his commentary track and in supplementary interviews how he cut costs and recycled sets while breathing new life into "Star Trek." Meyers comes across as being a bit egotistical, but what he has to say is fascinating.
		Meyer and the cast talk about it quite a bit in the interviews, and that ends up feeling like a tease.

	Amazon.ca: Video: Time After Time (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Nicholas Meyer's Time After Time is, in some respects, an extension of his idea for the novel The Seven Percent Solution; Meyer imagines that writer H. Wells and Jack The Ripper actually knew each other and that Wells' time machine really existed.
		Nicholas Meyer's gem of a film imaginatively catapults Victorian-era novelist H.G. Wells against the diabolical villainy of Jack the Ripper in San Francisco circa 1979.
		Mary Steenburgen (Back to the Future III) is remarkable as the innocent love interest for Wells, especially when one considers that the fireworks were both on-screen and off between her and co-star McDowell making the romantic chemistry between the two all the more credible.

		The other two pastiches by Meyer I'd probably recommend but not this one, there are better ones out there like The Whitechapel Horrors by Edward Hanna.
		Meyer continues his version of Sherlock Holmes with a tale of Holmes' lost years after the "Moriarty Problem." Holmes becomes a violinist for the Paris Opera and through the intervention of Irene Adler, becomes involved in the strange case of the "opera ghost." There are many problems with this novel.

		Meyer has a long association with Star Trek, co-writing both 'Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home' and 'Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country,' and directing 'The Undiscovered Country' and 'Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan.' However, even the addition of such a high-profile director failed to reverse Fox's decision.

		For the DVD release the film is presented so that it will fit the standard (1.78:1) 16 by 9 television width of widescreen TVs as Co-Writer and Director Nicholas Meyer intended.
		Co-Writer and Director Nicholas Meyer and Screenwriter Denny Martin Flinn share a feature length audio commentary that reiterates a few points noted on the featurettes on disc two, but also goes into great detail regarding the evolution of the screenplay and making of the film.
		At times Meyer can seem a bit subdued by tone of his voice, but overall this is an informative and interesting audio commentary track.

		Trek Vi is one of the better of the original crew films, along with IV and II, also involving Nick Meyer in a writing and/or directing capacity.
		By the way, Meyer attended university in Iowa, for its reputedly excellent writing program.
