STXI DVD/Blu-ray special features wishlist

[Nick Ryder]

YES! I definately want that too. I mean, c'mon its just another disk in the package! Plus then it allows them to sell both the BluRay and regular DVD using ONE SKU/UPC instead of having multiples or confusing customers plus I would actually almost be more tempted to look for a cheap bluray player if I already had a nice selection of BluRay disks around y'know?

motion comic of countdown, like the watchman motion comic dvd

They will sell more blue ray disks. For those that want to future proof themselves.

The entire Blue Warp Nacelles? thread, from this very board. Ideally, voice acted by the cast.

A special Sombrero mode, in which one can view the film with the entire cast wearing sombreros.

 

[Freman]

Unfortunately, the Okudas will NOT be doing a text commentary for the new movie's DVD release.

Everything I would like to see has already been mentioned, let me just add that I would also like to get the very cool looking warp screen saver they announced but never added to the official website.

I'm a huge audio commentary fan so I hope that there is at least a J.J. Abrams, Roberto Orci, and Alex Kurtzman track. JJ did a commentary track with Tom Cruise for Mission Impossible III which was pretty good. I wouldn't mind a cast audio commentary with Chris Pine, Zachery Quinto, Karl Urban, Eric Bana, and Leonard Nimoy. I'm guessing that they would've recorded commentary tracks already since they're usually filmed a couple of weeks or so before premire. A Behind the scenes Making of Documentary along the lines of the ones we've got for the Star Wars Prequels would be very cool. I like the suggestion of art work galleries since it seems we're not getting any kind of Art of Star Trek book. Deleted scenes as well...perhaps a director's cut on disc one. I can't wait for the DVD release!

I just want a high bitrate AVC encode and a really good dolby trueHD (24-bit) track to go along with it! I'm sure those 2 things are probably a lock anyway considering thats usually what paramount does with their blu-rays.

STXI HD transfer

a definitive HD transfer of the theatrical cut of the feature from the 2K Digital Intermediate [DI].

the new 'Star Trek' was shot on 35mm, it's forever locked to 2k because that was the resolution of its DI.

Knowing Paramount Home Entertainment we gotta figure they will put out some special edition Blu-ray in November 2010 but hopefully the initial theatrical-cut HD on the Blu-ray released in Q4 2009 will be as good as it gets for picture quality of the film itself with minimal DNR and edge enhancement.

 

[Prometheus]

everything I have heard to now will suffice....and a sneak peek trailer for the next Trek movie.....

 

[Classic Fan]

Most things that have been mentioned.

I would like a real in-depth production feature from the first sketch to the premiere. That would be so cool. production designs, uniform designs etc etc.

A few interviews and BluRay exclusive features, like an Enterprise tour or the same panoramic views we had on the official site.


Oh, of course, a commentary by JJ, Roberto and Alex wouldnt go a miss, and an additional commentary with Shatner.

 

[jefferiestubes8]

an additional commentary with Shatner.

Could you please tell me how Paramount would feel that Shatner doing a commentary would sell the special edition? He was not in the film or in the creative process.
I know this is a wishlist but I have a hard time understanding this unless Archer & Patrick Stewart & Pine were included.
Please explain.

Blu-ray initial specs announced

Yesterday Trekmovie announced the initial specs for the Blu-ray for November.
The 'Gene Roddenberry's vision' sounds very interesting and it was even on my wishlist!
9 deleted scenes!

[Yeoman Randi]

I would like the film on it.

*snort*

"ST:Nemesis" came out in December 2002 and since then feature-length documentaries of making-of the films have become pretty regular on DVD 2-disc editions.

To be fair when I wrote that I hadn't see some of the special features from DS9, TNG, and Enterprise.
It was nice that Paramount mined vaults for the 1987, 1988, 1992 era interviews for them. Surprised that the Star Trek: TNG: Season 2: Disc 6 had 2 interviews that were shot on 16mm color negative film (you could see the white dust specs and occasional hairs). It gets my hopes up for the announced 'Gene Roddenberry's vision' that will be on the STXI Blu-ray. Hopefully they will use old 16mm film footage of him from the 1960s.

The Enterprise behind-the-scenes footage were all shot in 16:9 widescreen and it's a nice touch.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

A special Robau Edition which the user can select. Meaning: Every time Captain Robau is onscreen, a pop-up would occur with a random "fact" about him chosen from the appropriate thread.

 

[Admiral_Young]

^ That would be awesome...I wonder if the regular DVD features will be the same as the Blu-Ray, all I care about is the audio commentary.

 

[JuanBolio]

I'd like to see a version with the deleted scenes added back into the film fully scored and with finished FX - exactly like the special editions of King Kong and Lord of the Rings.

That is all.

 

[Yeoman Randi]

Hopefully Paramount does not mess around like releasing a Directors edition, then Ultimate edition, the Ultimate Directors edition, Definitive edition, etc... etc...

HERE! HERE! i hate when they do that, because i always run out and buy the first edition and then can never justify to the husband why i should buy the next four.....

 

[jefferiestubes8]

I would love to have 1960s archival 16mm film interviews of Gene Roddenberry (telecined to HD) and cut in with JJ Abrams talking about his original vision for the Star Trek universe and this film as reimagined in an alternate universe. documentary made by the same people.

On the Blu-ray Disc 2 special feature will be:

Gene Roddenberry's Vision - J.J. Abrams, Leonard Nimoy, previous Star Trek writers and producers, and scientific consultant Carolyn Porco describe and commend the optimistic and enduring vision of Gene Roddenberry.

from the official Paramount release of the discs features and release date :

Hmm, it doesn't mention including Roddenberry himself in the interviews but we can hope... Even for early 1980s interview on video with Roddenberry would be good.
