Join professors John and Maria Jose Tenuto, authors of the best-selling, officially licensed book, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan: The Making of the Classic Film" as they share this multimedia virtual presentation. More than 100 rare photographs paint the incredible picture of a company of artists whose talents combined to create one of science fiction's most critically acclaimed films. In addition to the photographs, the presentation shares trivia and little known facts about the making of the film. A special thank you to writer/director Nicholas Meyer for his permission to share these photographs and the University of Iowa Library
