Paramount and Paramount+ are excited to announce that a full restoration of the Director’s Edition of Star Trek: The Motion Picture has been greenlit.
The restoration will be undertaken by producer David C. Fein, restoration supervisor Mike Matessino, and visual effects supervisor Daren R. Dochterman, all of whom worked previously with director Robert Wise.
The film will be prepared for presentation in 4K Ultra HD with Dolby Vision™ high dynamic range (HDR) and a new Dolby Atmos® soundtrack. The restoration is expected to take 6-8 months and will launch with an exclusive window on Paramount+.
The 4 disc set announcement already seems out of date with the DE 4K release.
TMP in HDR is going to be insane.![]()
I'll end up with both. Who am I kidding?
The rumor is that this is the minimum viable box set. You can't skip the first movie, and two and three end directly linking to the beginning of the following film, so this is the earliest they can start building the box sets. Then they'll do five, then six, and then each TNG film, and every time will release a new box set with more movies (and, hopefully, individual releases as each one is ready).All looks good but I’m confused why only 4 movies. Why not just do all 6? That’ll just confuse people
Just in time to commemorate the 55th anniversary of the September 8, 1966 airing of the very first Star Trek episode, Paramount Home Entertainment and CBS Home Entertainment will debut the following new releases for every fan’s collection on September 7, 2021:
