STXI DVD/Blu-ray special features wishlist

[MvRojo]

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.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was some archival footage of Gene.

I hope it is not just other soundbites from this:

I doubt there's a lot of new stuff for them to find with Gene, so anything included will likely be stuff we've seen before.

Have you seen this?

interviews were taped just prior to Star Trek's NBC premiere in September 1966 on the set of the episode TOS "What Are Little Girls Made Of?"
these clips are historic moments with the 2 main stars of The Original Series discussing a show that has yet to be seen by the public.

2 video interviews here:http://startrekpropauthority.blogspot.com/2008/04/rare-1966-video-interviews-with-william.html
repost from above

I wonder if interviews with Roddenberry are available similar to this or from foreign shows done in the 1970s and 1980s and could be put on the ST TOS season 3 special features? It's all about licensing fees...

Some of that Sept.1988 interview with Gene was on the TNG season 5 disc 7 'Tribute to Gene Roddenberry' that was 30 minutes. It appeared to be shot on 16mm color negative film (slight grain, occasional white dust spots) so perhaps they retelecined it at HD for use in this HD featurette on the STXI Bluray...

I would like to see a tour of the Enterprise on one of the special features, that I think would be really cool! Plus I would like to see a virtual game where you can play as the charcters. Also there something else I think would be great is the deleted scenes. I would love to see the deleted scenes in the film itself as you are watching the movie. I think it would be cool if they did that, you can have the option to watch the deleted scenes in movie or not. I know they did with such movies as Fantasic Four and Spider Man 2 and a couple of other movies.
