Hurley's TNG movie script
A draft of this never-produced 'first' TNG film was developed by Rick Berman and Maurice Hurley in 1993. A draft of this untitled film was writted by Hurley in October 1993, but the project never moved forward. Berman published an image on Twitter of the drafted script in August 2014.

Spoiler

I hope Berman is going to upload it somewhere...

I wonder if it's different enough from Star Trek Generations for an IDW Publishing comic?

With George Lucas 'The Star Wars', Harlan Ellison's Batman lost episode & 'City on the Edge of Forever' unmade scripts into comics seems to be quite hot right now!

... After getting the green light from Sherry Lansing ( the head of the studio's theatrical division who had just replaced Brandon Tartikoff), Berman decided to commission two screenplays for the project. One by former "TNG" writer-producer Maurice Hurley, who had been responsible for some of the show's early successes including the introduction of the Borg in the episode "Q Who?" and another by the hot young writing team of Ronald D. Moore and Brannon Braga, who were quickly becoming the show's star writers. Hurley's screenplay told the tale of a fold in space, through which alien creatures accidentally fall into our dimension. These creatures soon become a threat to the universe they are desperately trying to leave. The story was in essence a tale of survival at any cost by creatures who don't realize the amount of damage their attempts to return home is causing our universe. It's up to Picard and company to stop them. Hurley's tale featured the character of Captain Kirk in a series of scenes were Picard summons a holographic manifestation of the legendary Captain on the ship's holodeck in order to seek his advice.

They could use these ultimately unused uniform designs for Star Trek Generations:

Here's what Berman wrote:

“What prompted me was that I found the story of one version and the script of the other in a box. The studio wanted two scripts written. They and I chose the one to be produced (which, of course, was Star Trek Generations). No elements of it (the unused script) went into any film we made.”

As for a few details about the script’s storyline? “Nothing about the plot ...” Berman added. “Sorry.”

Well. It's too bad that Berman didn't share it with us...
