Kirk Vs. Christ, The Star Trek movie that never was.

An early draft of 1979's Star Trek: The Motion Picture had Captain James T. Kirk brawling with Jesus H. Christ.
This revelation was revealed in the forthcoming book "The Fifty-Year Mission: The Complete, Uncensored, Unauthorized Oral History of Star Trek: The First 25 Years".
Though the script was penned by SciFi legend and Star Trek creator, Gene Roddenberry the original script didn't live up to the franchise's standards.
Director Richard Colla said in an interview in the book that Roddenberry's script was severely odd, "Kirk, Spock and McCoy didn’t seem anything like themselves. There was some mildly erotic, midlife-crisis stuff in there that didn’t serve any real purpose. In the climactic scene, Kirk had a fistfight with an alien who had assumed the image of Jesus Christ … So Kirk was slugging it out on the bridge. With Jesus."
"The Fifty-Year Mission: The Complete, Uncensored, Unauthorized Oral History of Star Trek: The First 25 Years" is the first of two books that detail the rise of the classic SciFi franchise from cult TV serial to pop-culture icon and is released a head of Star Trek: Beyond the final of the modern block buster remakes of the classic series.

Star Trek: Beyond is in cinemas July 22
