20 Things You Didn't Know About Star Trek Generations

Generations was actually shot in conjunction with the final episodes of The Next Generation, resulting in a hectic production where principal photography was completed in just 51 days - a frankly impossibly short length of time for a modern Star Trek film.

To add to the stress, filming began less than eight months before the movie was due to hit cinemas, which again for any contemporary blockbuster is an absurd turnaround time.

The scenes that didn't require The Next Generation's cast members were filmed first while they wrapped up production on the series, and just four days after wrapping the show, they headed over to a separate soundstage to start filming the movie.

From the moment TNG's cast finished working on the series, there was a mere six months to go until Generations was due to release. That's what you call pressure.
