I'm usually not a big fan of paying to see a DCP made from the same master as the disc I already own...but Wrath Of Khan is probably an exception to that rule.

Wasn’t sure where to post this, but wrath of khan is mentioned...

Thanks for sharing that! I actually interviewed Andrea Kalas for the release of Wings for HTF - one of my favorite chats!
That’s just wonderful! Thanks for sharing it and putting a smile on my face tonight!Good comments on the digital realm. I have files I have to jump through hoops to use now because of similar issues.
And - I posted this on another thread but thought I would repeat it here as it pertains in a way to Wrath of Khan.
Not long after Wrath of Khan opened, I went to a bank in Larchmont (near Paramount Studios) to cash a check (remember before ATMs?) and George Takei was in front of me in line. I am afraid I gushed a bit, along these lines: "I have seen Wrath of Khan at least 10 times already and it's so great to have Star Trek at the movies again and I hope there are lots more movies and I have memorized every episode of the series!" Mr. Takei laughed - and he has a booming, joyous laugh - I could feel the vibrations in my bones - and he pulled this photo out of his satchel and signed it for me in line at the bank! He was so very nice, and he seemed magnetic, charisma, I guess. The encounter left me aglow all day. (Still gushing 35 years later LOL).

I was under the impression that most films create a film out negative of the DI and place it in storage, precisely to avoid such an outcome.I feel that it's basically inevitable that while a film from 50 or 100 years ago will remain accessible, a film from the modern era of DI posting will be lost due to bad data preservation techniques...
It is quite possible that there are people out there that haven't watched all the Star Trek films hundreds of times and make broad statements out of ignorance.As we know there were no Klingons seen in Star Trek 2 -- could she have been thinking about Star Trek 3, 4, 5 or 6?

Just read that article. Maybe Miss Kalas thought the Vulcan’s are Klingons. And strings on the ships? They are all motion controlled, but it sounds like as Darin said, she isn’t a full on fan who knows all the specifics about Star Trek. . Or hopefully as David has mentioned, they are quietly working on the TOS films. And I really hope that includes the Robert Wise cut of Star Trek The Motion Picture.
I read with interest the effort made to preserve To Catch A Thief, one of my favorites. One of these days I have to check out Wings.
+1Wings is SO worthwhile. Don't wait any longer.
