Thanks Neil for the post. I watched the podcast, but joined 17 minutes late. Good to see them talk about the work on the film! Too bad David Fein wasn’t able to give specific details on a blu ray release. He had to generalize. I found it interesting to hear Darin explain the shot of the...

As some of you have said, if the releases of Star Trek V and VI are separates as well as Star Trek TMP DE as a separate, I’ll likely pick them up as separates to add to the first 4 film box set. We’ll see what happens as we get closer to September.

It wasn’t clear if the new six film box set includes the Theatrical Cut of the Motion Picture. The images on The Digital Bits implies the six film box set only has the Directors Edition. Don’t sell it yet! It would be great if the DE set included the Theatrical Cut. I’m holding onto everything.

I wouldn’t get the pitchforks out just yet. We don’t have official release details yet for Star Trek V and VI and the Directors Edition of TMP as far as I have read. If those are indeed released as individuals and not in a box collection of the 3 titles as we all assumed, then it’s not like you...

My guess this information for the releases of the remaining TOS films on UHD disc is not official yet. And the UHD of the Directors Edition at $100 is either an error or the price includes the 5th and 6th film. Neil, I remember paying $80 each for the Criterion laser discs of Dr. No, From...

Very much looking forward to complete this collection of TOS films on remastered 4K.

I’m living vicariously through you guys! If it weren’t for Covid, I’d have gone to see the DE. Maybe like Kevin and others, I’ll get a projection system at home in the future and play the new 4K blu ray to simulate the experience. :)

Hey Neil, thanks for the reminder! :)

Guys, when I first watched this new Directors Edition via a Paramount+, I was doing it via an AppleTV4K which is connected to my pre-amp which is not 4K capable. So the ATV to pre-amp was not passing a 4K signal to my display. Tonight I tried an experiment, my Sony TV has the ability to install...

Chris, the podcast did not discuss specific scenes retained because they are so loved. This statement from Wise was from interviews he gave when the DE first came out. The specific scene is the Enterprise fly over that Scotty does for Kirk. I think some people feel that goes on too long. It does...

Thanks for the heads up on that Inglorius Treksperts episode on the Motion Picture. I listened to it yesterday. I had not been listening to them lately. I can only take so much of Mark Altman. ;) There was a couple of big take aways from that conversation from Daren. The biggest one for me was...

The film is finally completed. Yes, restored might not have been a good choice of wording. Mr. Wise never got to do his final cut for this film in 1979, it’s the only film he made where it was so rushed to meet a release date, that he didn’t get to do a preview screening to do final editorial...

A video from Marc Scott Zicree showed up in my YouTube suggestions. He was at the Paramount theater for the Star Trek The Motion Picture DE screening. He posted a video about the experience. It was cool to see it was quite a turnout. I was hoping to see comments from the others but I guess this...

Thanks for posting this, at first I didn’t watch it as I thought it was a trailer and not a featurette. This was great to hear the team talk about the effort to make the Remastered Directors Edition. I re-watched a large portion of the film last night after watching it initially on Tuesday...

Hey you guys who got to attend the screening at the Paramount theater, that’s great! Thanks for sharing that, so lucky you guys were attending that. I’m reminded of the screening back in 2001 when Mssers Wise, Fein, Matessino, Dochterman, several of the cast and producers attended. I gather this...

I added it to My List for quick easy access next time. :)

Ha, ha! :biggrin: I had a late meeting and ended up staying up a bit later then I should after dinner and cleaning etc, since it’s just past midnight here in the west coast, I tried Paramount+. The film is there and I watched the Overture and the titles and main cast credits. I stopped it so I...

La, La, La, La…..trying to avoid spoilers. :)

Ron, I was going to wait it out for the disc release too. But I came to realize from comments from Josh, that the bean counters will be watching how well this film does on P+. If it does well, it will show P+ that there is interest in this title and the investment was worth it. Hopefully...

I read that article Tim. The way David Fein describes this new version is a little surprising. I think there’s going to be people who will still prefer the theatrical cut as it is. it was interesting that he said the film only had 4 days in 1979 to do the color timing. So for this release, the...

It’s Sunday April 3. Two days until the Star Trek The Motion Picture DE will stream on Paramount+. I’ll have to plan my day to end early so I can indulge in this that night.

I delayed commenting, but I also bought the Special Longer Version laser disc. I think it was in the late 1980’s or 1990 that I found it in a bin at Tower Records. I used to go there every other week or so looking for new laser discs. What a fun time! It was such a surprise to find it too. In...

Guys, I found it kind of odd that I cannot actually see the Star Trek The Motion Picture DE trailer on Paramount +. I’ve searched for it. I looked at the extras under Star Trek TOS and Discovery. In the movie section there isn’t any sign of it. It’s on YouTube of course. Perhaps it’s somewhere...

Thanks Josh, though these kind of deviations occur in threads. I had posted about the new DE on the Star Trek thread and Star Trek The Motion Picture thread last week. I’ll repeat it here, I am so happy to finally see this Directors Edition be remastered at not only high definition, but 4K. I’m...
