    If it's real I want that shirt. I wonder what the fandoms are. I assume they all got to be part of the same corporation. For example, Disney of course could pull off a Marvel,Star Wars,Indiana Jones, Toy Story,Disney Princess shirt if it wanted. Even toss in X-FIles as well.

    I have 2 such shirts. One says, "OMG IT'S R2D2! I LOVED HIM IN STAR TREK", and shows a Dalek. (link) When I wear this, I either get confused looks or enthusiastic thumbs up approvals.

    The other is a SF version of the slogan "COEXIST", with each letter a symbol from various SF/fantasy/comic book franchises. (link) Although the version I have uses the Superman S-shield instead of the Harry Potter lightning bolt. A Google search reveals more variations using different selections of symbols.

    Another design I've seen but don't have is a variation on,"I never received my acceptance letter to Hogwarts, so I'm leaving the Shire to become a Jedi and take the Iron Throne."

    Geeks are an endlessly creative bunch!

    New email with lots of new details!

    Friends,

    We were holding off until we could properly announce everything all at once -- but here it goes. Details on our Indiegogo Backer Disk Combo-Packs ARE HERE AT LAST!

    First, and likely most importantly, we're excited to share that your disk-sets will ship IN THE BEGINNING OF JULY!

    Yes, this will include all international shipments, and will be about one month before the commercial North American release (August 6th!). We'll send out a reminder email blast the week before packages ship, and give you one last chance to confirm & update your mailing address.

    Disk Details & Bonus Features

    As promised, our Indiegogo backer disk sets are made specially by our team for eligible backers and will include cover artwork exclusive to the campaign. The sets are the only region-free release currently planned, and will include one Blu-Ray disk and one standard DVD in a single combo-case.

    Earlier today, we partnered with our distributors at Shout! Factory to announce a full list of the special features which will be included on the standard release:
    • "An Intro from Ira & the Gang"
    • "A Brief History of Deep Space Nine"
    • "What We Left Out"(over 45 minutes of new stories!)
    • "Behind the Scenes at the Variety Photoshoot"
    • "HD Remaster Discussion" (a roundtable chat with the filmmakers)
    • "More From the Fans" (YOU!)
    • Theatrical Trailer
    In addition to the items included on the standard release, our exclusive backer combo-disk sets will include:
    • "A Musical Reunion"(an extended conversation with composers Dennis McCarthy and Kevin Kiner)
    • Indiegogo Campaign Videos & Video Vault
    • Technical Trivia Track (A special subtitle text track with detailed technical info and listing of our HD Hero sponsors!)
    We've been working hard the past few weeks to finalize and pack as many hours of additional content as we can into your combo-sets! Everything our team has specially produced ourselves to date has been included, and we hope you'll enjoy the chance to enjoy the film again and again from the comfort of your home.

    For those interested in even more content and collectable opportunities (or for those who did not opt for a disk set during the campaign), our partners at Shout! Factory have announced their own Special Edition Blu-Ray set for which they've produced an extended 50-minute Roundtable Look at the Making of the Documentary:

    [​IMG]

    For those curious about the differences, your backer disk sets already include our Musical Reunion bonus feature and a shortened excerpt of Shout's roundtable (in the HD Remaster featurette). However, because the extended full-length roundtable discussion is produced separately by Shout! Factory, it is only available on their limited edition disk.

    Only 1,500 of these sets are being released through Shout! Factory, so if you're a die-hard collector or didn't pre-order a disk set during the campaign, we encourage you to pre-order this special edition soon!

    Theatrical Screenings in the UK, Ireland & Germany NEXT MONTH

    Our screenings in the US & Canada earlier this month were an incredible success -- so much so that our friends at CinEvents have announced a similar one-night-only event throughout the UK, Ireland and Germany next month on Wednesday, June 26th!

    [​IMG]

    Though many of you may have the chance to enjoy your disk-sets at home soon, there's nothing like seeing the film on the BIG screen with an audience and all new remastered footage. Some cinemas have already sold out, so additional screenings are being added -- get your tickets soon to avoid missing out!!

    While our film team would love to see the film screen EVERYWHERE, those decisions are made independently by our theatrical partners. If your country isn't on the list, we encourage you to reach out to Fathom Events, CinEvents, Shout! Factory or your local cineplex to encourage them to pick up the #DS9Doc in your area!

    We'll have more details soon on our final rewards -- including re-release of the stream, and posters! -- but in the meantime, thank you to everyone for your great reactions to the film. Hearing your excitement and seeing your response has made our team's many, many hours of hard (but loving) work very much worth it.

    Thanks to you, we're the little-doc-that-could.

    Keep trekking on...

    - The #DS9Doc Team

    I'm wondering the same thing. It was one of things I was most interested in.

    Perhaps that's what "What We Left Out: 45 Minutes of New Stories" is?

    Maybe. Behr was talking about releasing (nearly) the entire session, so this would be a little disappointing.

    The good news is I don't feel bad about probably missing out on the special edition. It would be nice to hear Dennis McCarthy's thoughts, but I'll have to pass.

    I'm confused. Which version is the best to get. The limited Shout Factory disks seem to have some limits as well.

    July! Hooray! Can't wait to see it again, my image quality for when I watched it originally was crap.

    I suppose it's better than lets say, one night in Bangkok if you happen to live in London or nearby.

    Given that I don't think wide theatrical screenings were even part of the original plan for the documentary, maybe a bit more perspective is needed here.

    At least, I never expected to see it in a theater after having gone to the NYC premiere.

    To get absolutely every extra you would need to get the backer release and the Shout Factory limited edition.

    Seeing the final list of extras on each version, I'm pretty happy to stick with the backer disc. It's always a bummer to miss out on some extra feature, but that one has the most stuff on it that I want.

    What you said above is the only real issue I had with the doc. It felt like almost every topic that the cast and crew broke into deserved more screentime. We just got little bursts of information, and then a quick cut to another person. I felt that Terry Farrell had more to say about her firing, and I felt Aaron Eisenberg had a lot more to say about what DS9 meant to him when he became emotional. A large portion of the doc just seems to be little snippets of information.

    The writers room stuff was fascinating, and while it was promised, I think it would have been best left out as a (large) extra. It felt like a documentary within a documentary.

    I'm glad I'll finally be able to see this on the big screen come this Wednesday. Will be interesting to see if it lives up to the hype. They've been working on this for so long I've almost thought they'd never release it.

    What will be interesting as well is the fact that there will be other Deep Space Nine fans in the movie theatre with me watching this. IRL I only know of one other Trek fan.

    I saw it earlier tonight. Thought it was fantastic. The cinema was almost full - and quite sure everyone loved it. So much goodness in this.

    Gonna have to look into buying the blu-ray somehow.
