** The original tentative plans would have seen the Borg going back in time to the time of the Renaissance, but it was decided that such a trip would make the film too much like a historical documentary, so the time travel was instead shifted to take the Borg back to a point in the past of ''Star Trek'' without making it the past of the present day.
** Picard and Riker's roles were to be switched, and more emphasis was going to be placed on the Earth storyline. Part of the reasons for the switch were apparently because Patrick Stewart felt Picard should have more of an active role in defending the ''Enterprise'', while Jonathan Frakes wanted to have more time to focus on directing. Picard was also the one who had been assimilated by the Borg, so it made more sense for him to be the one to confront them. According to Braga and Moore's commentary, the ''Enterprise'' plot was mostly unchanged but the Earth-based story was completely altered. Also Lily (who was called Ruby in the early script) would have stayed on Earth with Picard in the original story.
** The earlier drafts of the script were also quite different tonally, and more of a time-travel comedy in the same vein as ''Film/StarTrekIVTheVoyageHome''. When Picard and Riker's roles were swapped, the main storyline became much DarkerAndEdgier, with the Cochrane scenes instead used to provide moments of relief.
** The Borg Queen wasn't in the early drafts of the script. They started to formulate the character when [[ExecutiveMeddling executive]] [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools script notes remarked]] that they were just cyber-zombies and the movie needed a more tangible villain.
** The ''Defiant'' was outright destroyed in one draft of the script. Unsurprisingly, the ''[=DS9=]'' staff objected to what effects this would create for their show, so it was changed. (Incidentally, the ship would be destroyed on ''[=DS9=]'', but not for another 2 and a half years, and would be replaced by a look-alike with the same name.)
** Although the role of Zefram Cochrane was written with Creator/JamesCromwell in mind, Creator/TomHanks, a big fan of ''Star Trek'', was approached for the role by Paramount first, but he had already committed to ''Film/ThatThingYouDo'' and had to reject the part.

* TroubledProduction: Filming only really had trouble early on, due to Rick Berman's demands that it involve popular recurring villains the Borg, while also being a time-travel comedy in the vein of ''The Voyage Home''. Moore and Braga were re-hired as screenwriters, and initially produced an outright comedic screenplay named ''Star Trek: Renaissance'', showing the Borg taking over a castle in renaissance Italy, and the ''Enterprise'' crew foiling them with the help of Creator/LeonardoDaVinci; this screenplay was regarded by just about everyone as far too silly, and Patrick Stewart killed it altogether by insisting that he wasn't going to wear tights. Moore and Braga's second attempt, ''Star Trek: Resurrection'' was nearer the mark, but relegated the Borg to an action sub-plot aboard the ''Enterprise'' and focused mostly on Picard's time-travel shenanigans while impersonating the inventor of warp drive, with Picard never even finding out about the Borg's involvement. Finally, the people involved decided to make the film a proper follow-up to the events of the acclaimed "[[{{Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS3E26S4E1TheBestOfBothWorlds}} The Best of Both Worlds]]" two-parter from the series and have Picard confront the Borg head-on, resulting in the film that was released.
