By the way, based on the date of Marian’s (and now Lisa’s!) Reisner manuscript of Oct 31, 1983, and the fact that it says “Shooting Script” on the cover, I’d conclude that this document is indeed the final production script. I’d could be wrong, they all could say “Shooting Script,” but since the movie was released in 1984, it’s likely that’s the one.

Subject: Re: [SN] I have Starman the tv script for sale
I was curious of what Dean Reisner’s role in the movie was, since I thought the original creators of Starman were Bruce Evans and Raynold Gideon, and then Mike Grey and John Mason credited as the developers for the TV series. Turns out Reisner did 7 rewrites, working with 6 directors, but was uncredited by the Writers Guild. That means Marian’s movie script by Reisner is a rare gem indeed. Do you happen to know which of the 7 rewrites you have, Marian? And what, if any, differences from the production version are in the script? Or is yours the final production version?
The background to Reisner’s role that I was able to find is at this link: https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1985-01-18-8501040368-story.html
Incidentally, it was refreshing to finally see something appear in Starmanet. I’m aware there is a discussion group on Facebook, where it seems just about all of the Starman TV commentary and most of the SSI fandom have migrated. For those of us not on Facebook, I hope some dedicated soul remembers that this is supposed to be the “Official SSI Discussion List” (or so it says in the “To” block above), and resends at least significant discussion items onto Starmanet.
And for anyone new to this list, be aware that our official Starman Fan Fiction Archive still exists at https://archiveofourown.org/users/HowNovel/works?fandom_id=27155, under the “How Novel” Banner, which features 128 high quality works written by Spotlight Starman International (SSI) members. A number of other Starman stories also are published on the larger archive.
Regards to all,
Chuck S.
