    Dave, Daren Dochterman actually said that the effects were ready to be rendered at HD. He and his colleagues just need the go ahead from Paramount to render the new effects shots for the new High Def master. We are discussing it here: http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htf/...ow-so-far.html

    I just realized today that next year is the 30th Anniversary of Star Trek The Motion Picture. The new JJ Abrams film will open in May 2009. So by then, or within 2009, perhaps Paramount will release a 30th Anniversary Remastered Edition of The Directors Cut of Star Trek TMP with the 2001 CGI...

    Nemesis had a lot of little things setting it up for failure, the biggest was Stuart Baird who the cast has stated had no affinity for the material. While John Logan appears to have the best affinity of the material and for some reason, chose to recreate one of his favorite films, The Wrath of...

    I'm guessing the "What the Huh?" comment was in reference to why JediFonger was posting the images? They look pretty good, but I'm sure they'll look even better once they're reworked for the new BD discs. Nicholas, its nice to hear your reaction to the Motion Picture. It is the most epic...

    Thanks Joel. Two threads also occurred for the Star Trek TOS season 1 set! Regarding The Motion Picture and getting a theatrical cut. It would be a nice extra or additional version to have, such as was done with Blade Runner. I have found that for me, I don't want to watch that version...

    Remastered Star Trek films anytime soon?

    Is the verdict in then for Blu Ray then? I thought there was a lingering chance of a mistrial given the recent announcements that Star Trek TOS Season 2 was still likely to continue on HD-DVD. (Star Trek TOS is released via CBS, which I realize may have a different policy to Paramount who could...

    Hey Lou, thanks! The new player certainly extends life on a lot of DVD's! The article at trekmovie reminded me of the anniversary. Thoughts go to the new movie too now that they are filming. Hard to believe that the day the film opened in 1979, I was in my second year at college. And I...

    Thought I'd post an update to this thread of sorts. It's December 7, 2007, 28 years to the day Star Trek The Motion Picture premiered. I am watching my DVD of the DC for the first time on my new Toshiba A35, so it's the first time I've seen this disc on an upconvert player on my plasma. As...

    JediFonger- As Travis pointed out, there is a thread that discusses the new Star Trek remasters. A quick overview: Essentially, CBS Paramount did not skimp, there are HD revs of each episode they've remastered. The new effects are done in both 16:9 and 4:3 so they've convered themselves for...

    Quick update, I posted a question for the man himself who supervised the visual effects for Star Trek The Motion Picture, DE. He very kindly answered. He's interested himself as to what Paramount will do for the HD transfer. For the Directors Edition, Paramount didn't budget the new CGI...

    Remastered Star Trek films anytime soon?

    I have been watching a lot of new remastered DVD's recently, including the new Bond UE's and just saw the first 3 Star Trek films. Since I got a new HD display last year, I can really appreciate how the transfers look. It was a surprise to me to see how Star Trek The Motion Picture looked. I...
