Producer Robert Sallin Talks Navigating Paramount, Roddenberry, And Nimoy To Produce ‘ST2: The Wrath Of Khan’

Interesting to read what the producer does. He finished it on budget ($13M), unlike TMP. There is also interview with director Nick Meyer on that site.

What were some of your findings on how the first Star Trek movie didn’t work?
Nick Meyer wasn’t on your original list?
Another hurdle you had was convincing Leonard Nimoy to appear.
Another new thing you did was to use video instead of film for bridge monitors and some CGI, which was pretty new at the time. Were these creative choices, or more cost savings?
You were asked to stay on and produce more Star Trek films but declined. Do you regret that?
