He also wrote the adapted screenplay for the film version of ''Solution'' (for which he earned a 1977 Academy Award nomination), whose cast included [[Georgia Brown]], [[Joel Grey]], [[Samantha Eggar]] and [[Jeremy Kemp]]. |

Prior to his involvement with the Trek films, Meyer was best known for adapting and directing the 1979 time-travel film, Time After Time (starring Malcolm McDowell and David Warner), and for writing the Sherlock Holmes pastiche novels The Seven-Per-Cent Solution and The West End Horror (in 1993, he wrote a third, The Canary Trainer).
