Music, Humor and Words

Not necessarily in that order. Michael Wright chimes in on his life, his interests and the occasional bolt of inspiration that mortals tend to gain from time to time.

Robert Wise Passes


One of my favorite directors, Robert Wise was best known for his thought provoking sci-fi classic 'The Day the Earth Stood Still' plus the Oscar winning film versions of 'West Side Story and 'The Sound of Music.' As many Trekkers will recall, another of Mr. Wise's movies was 1979's 'Star Trek: The Motion Picture.'

His IMDB filmography can be found here.

If they don't spend a significant amount of time paying tribute to this man at next year's oscars (coming in March, 2006), it will be a crime.

I don't think the AP story mentioned Star Trek motion picture. Didn't he also have some hand in Wrath of Khan? Maybe he was consulted on it. I can't 'member.
