Star Trek The Motion Picture Directors Edition potential 4k

[DR Herbert West]

I really hope this happens.

"Coming this Christmas...from Paramount Pictures".

"That was great, Orson. The trailer is going to be terrific".

"Now, where did I put that bottle of cheap sherry..."

[RalphoR]

Awesome! Nothing like stirring up the Star Trek fanbase with terrific news. Did Paramount finally have an epiphany? Day one without a doubt.

[DR Herbert West]

Yes!

I could use the director’s cut of this one.

This is fantastic news; i've never really enjoyed the theatrical cut of this film, and when a friend begged me to watch the Directors Edition in 2001 i caved in and was amazed at how they had improved the film with it's faster pace (it's what, 13 minutes shorter than the theatrical version?) and new sound mix and brand-new visual effects. I really hope this comes off. In 4k!

The Director's cut is 4 minutes longer.

Hopefully this means the other films will also eventually be restored in 4K (including the other directors cuts).

Obviously day one for me. Not my favorite Trek movie but my favorite version of this particular movie.
And we really need the rest of them restored and released so hopefully people will support this effort and buy it on day one.

TNG >> DS9 >> Voyager >> Enterprise >> TOS >> Tas

If true, great news. Not a huge Trek fan but like them. I hope 2 gets announced. Paramount needs to step up wth more catalogue titles.

[punisher]

Looking forward to this one for sure...

Count me in, assuming they have the theatrical remastered with seamless branching. My memory of the extended cut is that it's pretty cool, but that the new effects were jarring to me - been years since I last saw it, though.

[Lensman]

The ONLY good Star-Trek film because it's the only one faithful to any series. The TV series are (STD excluded) mostly excellent but the money grab films were aimed at a completely different audience and were savagely dumbed down except this one.

[dvdvhsvcd]

hurry up while fans are still alive

[Jlouisbarrett]

If Paramount really does go through with remastering TMP, I’d imagine they’d finally throw WoK on UHD as well, since it’s ready to go... if we can’t get the full film series at once, I’d definitely be down for the first two.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions...except for this case.

Do this to yourself for an hour to repent.

This week is being epic with V The Miniseries anounced on BD and my favourite Star Trek movie set for release on UHD BD on my prefered incarnation. Day 1 for me on both. I hope they do a good job with the audio track, the 7.1 track on the BD sounds flat and unimpressive.

[SuperFlyHighGuy]

I want to believe.

Oh that opening scene with the Klingon ships and V'ger in 4K HDR...
