They will have to re-do thousands of effects over the series, but any 35mm filmed elements that still exist will be used again because 35mm is better-than-hd quality. They will be re-scanned and recomposited.

Any stuff made with the 'quantel' software they used was made in SD digitally and cannot be re-used. These will be made from scratch in HD, this includes photon torpedoes, shields, phasers, hand phasers, planets, computer displays. Apparently the starfields need remaking as well and this could include warp speed stars.

Loads of new stuff.

This is my understanding of everything thus far anyway :)
 
What I would love to see as extras on the Blu-Rays (although it likely won't happen) are some of the other things that the actors filmed in-character during the show's run:

  • the Gowron Hallmark ornament commercial
  • the Ogawa Hallmark ornament commercial
  • the Comic Relief Live sketch
  • the Star Trek VI special (Troi watches historical records)
  • "The Vision" (Boole & Babbage commercial with Riker)
Those are the only ones that I can think of offhand.

I don't think I've ever even heard of those before!
 
I have the 1993 E-D ornament. First Hallmark Star Trek ornament I ever bought. It's quite the little piece. :) The quality of the Trek ornaments, and Hallmark ornaments in general, has gone up quite a bit over the last 20 years so I would hope the detail and quality of this 2012 ornament would be improved. (As good as the 1993 piece is, it still has its flaws.)
 
There's one thing I'd find awesome: if they take All Good Things and refilm the future scenes, because all of the actors have the right age for that. And for the scenes with ageless future Data, they'd need to keep the original Data footage and insert the new footage of the older actors (like in the DS9 Tribble episode). I'd pay real money to see this.

I suppose that would be neat, but what would the purpose be other than for fanwank? It's established that none of those events happened anyway, so what's the point? Not to mention that you'd now have to pay for five actors' salaries on top of the remastering budget (And even if Sir Patrick wanted to do something like this...which I'm sure he doesn't...his asking price would no doubt be pretty high. And all this just to see older and fatter versions of our heroes?)

Not a horrible idea, but also not likely.

Actually, the cast has help up pretty well. I just saw Patrick Stewart in "The Captains" and he is looking quite trim. Michael Dorn was recently on Castle and he was actually loooking thinner than he did on TNG.
 
Zombie Seeker:
Regards Dorn's current appearance, a cast member (I forget who, maybe Frakes or Spiner) at the recent Chicago Creation Star Trek Convention mentioned that Dorn is now either a vegan or vegetarian (I forget which) and has lost weight.
