As folks might know, we've started shooting our next episode earlier this week: "Bread and Savagery"--a follow-up to the Original Series episode "Bread and Circuses." We return to the "Magna Roma" planet to see how things are going. (Hint: If things were going extremely well, this would be a very short episode.) We have our first couple of pictures available: That's our line producer Mr. Andy Grieb in a "Magna Roma" police officer costume. Star Trek Phase II was able to lay our hands on many of the original costumes from "Bread and Circuses." As comparison, here's a shot of the late Mr. William Bramley as the Roman Policeman from "Bread and Circuses," with the orange dickey, helmet with lion's head insignia, gladius sword, etc. (Note: Mr. Bramley's other claim to fame, of course, was playing a different police officer, "Officer Krupke," in both the original Broadway version and the motion picture version of West Side Story.) Comments are welcome.
Definately looking forward to this one. TOS never really did much 'following up', except for Wrath of Khan, so this will be interesting to see.
