Unseen TOS coming in December....

Here it is: http://www.ew.com/article/2016/09/01/star-trek-roddenberry-vault

Locked away in film cannisters for decades we will finally be able to see unseen footage from TOS saved from the cutting room floor.

I'm stoked! This is a definite buy!

More excited for this than Discovery.

Definitely!

Disappointed they aren't doing the work needed to integrate the clips into the episodes. But, since I'll probably pass on TAS on Blu, I'll likely pick this up.

Am I in a timewarp? This was announced weeks ago.

Yes, but now we have a release date: Dec. 13th.

So has the unreleased footage actually been remastered in HD like the rest of TOS?

Star Trek fans should be so lucky.

A big question mark about this.

I didn't know GR had his own 'vault', but I'm glad he saved this valuable footage.

I sure hope not!

 

[CorporalCaptain]

I sure hope not!

Why do you hope not?

 

[uniderth]

Why do you hope not?

I don't want scenes replaced with crappy CGI.

Some folks believe that some of this is film that was stored to supply Lincoln Enterprises with frames for when they'd sell grab bags of film. Luckily it was stored so well!

I bought one of those grab bags in the late 1970's. It had clips from Wolf in the Fold, Who Mourns for Adonis and other 2nd season episodes.

Well, I don't either, but that's not what remastering means....

As general questions to everybody, especially those who know the answers (sorry, I don't have time to drill down and find out at the moment), until now these scenes have only existed in film format, right? The term "remaster" couldn't possibly apply at all for this release, could it, and the proper term would be transfered, or some such, yes? Will it be released in HD format is the question. I hope it will be.

Tell that to the people at CBS.

Yeah "transferred" would probably be the right term. And yes I do hope it is in HD format.

There's nothing to tell them. They understand just fine; it was the proper term for TOS-R, since it was remastered. They just also added those awful new VFX to replace the ones that don't look good in HD. It's us fans who get confused, because we just don't know.

Remastering means essentially cleaning up. TOS had already been remastered for DVD several years before it was remastered again for HD and new CGI visual f/x added.

Remastering has zero to do with adding cgi f/x.

 

[TheSeeker]

Yes. By remastering I am referring to the process of re-scanning the original film at HD resolutions, cleaning it up, colour correcting, that sort of thing.
