From the back cover of the insert found inside the DVD of Star Trek: The Motion Picture - The Director's Edition: "Thanks once again to Paramount's support, we have been able to complete the film as 'The Director's Edition'. In addition to finding a new, and I feel, proper editorial balance for...

Don't give me too much credit. I caught a typo on one of those pages now. :) Neil

The scene was restructured . You can read more detail about it on pages 582 and 586 in Return to Tomorrow.

Nope. There is talk of it maybe happening down the road but no confirmation that it ever did. Neil

"Director's Edition" producer David C. Fein responded to that thread about this very comment. He said, "I've had many discussions with Bob about the film and the final days of Post, and I can not see how any of this statement could have happened under those extreme circumstances." You can read...

That's in regards to the original release. @Carabimero has stated that Wise wanted the V'Ger stuff cut down further for "The Director's Edition" but wasn't allowed. I'm asking for a source for that. I've never heard it before. Neil

It's not called "Director's Cut". It's "The Director's Edition". What's your source for the information for Wise wanting this cut down further but the studio denied it? Are you confusing this with the idea of re-cutting shortly after the movie was released in 1979? Neil

I just realized this ad also says TMP is PG. I don't trust it. Neil

That runs the gamut of the rating system. Both were distributed by Paramount, too! Neil

Split surrounds? I'll have to listen out for this the next time it plays in 70mm. Neil

I want an answer one way or another so this conversation can end. All evidence that I've seen points to "no" on 70mm. Neil

FULL DISCLOSURE: I was a fact checker on that book. Page 604 states that were plans for 70mm prints but then goes on to say they never happened. Page 651 - Richard M. Rubin states a 70mm print was never shown. Page 655 - director Robert Wise and editor Todd Ramsay talk about possible 70mm...

I'm also not going to trust the IMDB. As for the 70mm frames that were sold in the mid 90s, please note that they were not mag striped. They never had any sound on them. Neil

I'm not convinced that 70mm prints were ever made of TMP, despite a theater chains ad. Where's the studio print campaign for this? Are we supposed to believe they took the time and expense to make 70mm prints for a re-issue? 70mm prints were expensive and time consuming to manufacture. Would...

It was encoded and released in Dolby Stereo ("Dolby Surround" is the home version) from a multi-track print master. I don't know what the configuration was on that print master but it was certainly more than 2 channels. The music alone was mixed to 3-track (LCR). Neil
