Nicholas Meyer Confirms Upcoming 4K UHD Release Plans for STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN
- Thread starter RAMA

4KHHHHHHHANNNNNN!
Apparently just one Classic Trek film is all Paramount can afford to upgrade to 4K at the moment (and while it will be Meyer's director's cut no doubt, don't expect much in the way of new extras). I was startled to hear the studio's in such rough financial shape.
Why do you think that? We didn't get a director's cut release on Blu-ray.
Maybe they will if it sells well.
Would they have Meyer involved if all they were doing was a bare-bones theatrical version? At the very least he'd ask them about it (and would be saying if they weren't).
He's involved with color correction so theyre really making sure it looks right at that resolution.
Hmm. Was he involved in the 'too blu' Blu Ray conversion?
It'll take more than one Trek film to get me to jump into 4K content, even though I have a 4K TV. Especially with the new copy protections for UHD.
Is this really the case, or just Paramount crying poor? From my uneducated POV, it seems ridiculous a major studio can't afford to keep up with the remaster trends, especially when they have actual film to work with (as opposed to TV series' & videotape).
Put it this way: Viacom's trying to sell about 40% of the studio off.
Which are?
It's what they deserve for publicly calling Steven Spielberg immaterial during the bell ringing from New York stock exchange. This man along with partners saved Paramount by bringing along a lot of talent for them. I would've gave Spielberg the keys to the studio and allow him to do whatever he wanted. His resume speaks for itself.
No idea, but this will probably be blue as hell as well and we'll hear how that was how it's always been
much more complicated
But much more worthwhile...
The always online stuff that Microsoft floated a few years ago is included in the specs. There are suppose to be certificates that the player downloads for each disc before it will play them.
