Genesis II
Overview
On three occasions between 1973 and 1975, STAR TREK producer Gene Roddenberry attempted to launch a new science-fiction series. All three pilot films were predicated on the premise of a modern-day scientist awakening after nearly two centuries in suspended animation. The first of these feature-length pilots was GENESIS 2, which debuted March 23, 1973. Alex Cord stars as Dylan Hunt, who opens his eyes to discover that he now resides in a post-apocalyptic world. He is reluctantly recruited into a resistance movement, aimed at toppling the present despotic regime. The film's "money scene" involved leading lady Lyra-a (Mariette Hartley), who at a crucial plot juncture lifts her blouse to reveal that she has two navels. When GENESIS 2 failed to click as a series, Roddenberry and company tried again with PLANET EARTH (1974); when that didn't sell, the property was reworked as STRANGE NEW WORLD (1975).
