Coming in 4K - Star Trek's 1-IV??

[Tomalak]

1-6 boxset for Christmas hopefully, then TNG films to follow in 2023.

 

[Grant]

I was thinking they'd do the Next Gen Set around Christmas because 2022 is the 35th anniversary for TNG

 

[Tomalak]

Good shout - there might be some kind of deluxe boxset with TNG, the films and ST: Picard similar to the TOS 50th anniversary set.

I'm wondering if the DE changed their plan a little from the rumor before of three sets, 1-4, 5-7, 8-10, and instead 1-4, TMPDE/5/6, 7-10, which is probably an easier sell, in terms of branding, rather than splitting the TNG movies.

 

[Tomalak]

Yes, Generations could tenuously have been said to be the end of the TOS era with Kirk's last appearance, but it's much better to release the four TNG films together.

The DE team planned nothing. Paramount plans how the 4Ks will be released.

I wonder if the release of the DE changed Paramount’s planning on how to release the box sets from the groupings that were rumored earlier.

This is what Digital Bits put onto Twitter, but it is not from Paramount itself. (DB has been wrong before.)

Waiting for the iTunes release - it'll be my third time buying the film on that platform.

I personally would not pay money to get V in 4K, having it sold separate from VI would be a huge plus. As for the TNG films, The only one I really want is FC. I guess I could watch GEN & INS again, but I would never pay money to get NEM in 4K (cringe). V & NEM are on my list of movies never pay money to watch again…(unless I am forced to buy as a bundle)

If you own them on iTunes in HD on iTunes already, they will upgrade to 4K at no extra cost

 

[McCoy's Disco Collar]

Even with the new version? They did that for TWOK - TVH, but those films didn't change.

I would expect them to treat the 2022 Director's Edition as a separate film from the 2001 Director's Cut, since the content of the film itself changed, not just the resolution.

But hey' I'd be even happier if I'm wrong.

 

[Tomalak]

Yeah I'd be surprised if the TMP DE is upgraded for free - it's currently an SD-only extra with the theatrical version.

I'm guessing the new version will be a separate purchase, but I'd love to be pleasantly surprised.

 

[Grant]

They're not giving away the DE for free.

 

[USS Belmont]

To paraphrase Scotty:

“We have just spent eighteen months redesigning and refitting the movie. How in the name of hell do they expect Paramount to have her ready for free?”

Oh apologies. I was referring to the original versions of V-X. The DE is a different beast and will need to be purchased again.

 

[McCoy's Disco Collar]

No worries. I'm okay with buying the DE again.

Love how iTunes already upgraded my digital copies of the first four movies to 4K.

 

[Tomalak]

Yeah, I almost feel guilty! I bought the ten-film bundle on iTunes when it was down to a tenner and now I'm getting all the 4Ks for nothing.

I know I should be buying the discs to support the range, but I'm holding out for the inevitable boxset of the TOS films.

Preliminary artwork for V is just the standard movie poster. But for VI, something more interesting.

Never seen that art for VI before
