Sadly, Gene Roddenberry died decades ago, so we only have Nicholas Meyer’s side of this particular story. Recently, the director admitted that his own memory sometimes plays tricks on him and that he would have once agreed with the fans who thought that he and Roddenberry had a decent relationship. At least, whenever fans asked about said relationship, Meyer would claim that he met the other man and “had to shake his hand … but he wasn’t part of making the movie.”
This describes a cool but professional and rather impersonal relationship between Gene Roddenberry and Nicholas Meyer. According to The Wrath of Khan director, he believed that relationship to be mostly pleasant until he visited the University of Iowa; this was his alma mater, and the school’s library had many of his old papers and correspondence. This included an “exchange of memoranda between me and Gene Roddenberry” that revealed something surprising: their relationship was very personal and in all the wrong ways.
