This guy pretty much said they had those film scanners within two weeks and set up shop.
Dave Zappone has been talking about the problems with Paramount this year based on difficulties he has had this past two years getting just remastered clips. No one helped him from the archives. No equipment was available to check the films. No one offered to scan them. Nothing got done.
 
That brings up interesting questions for discussion:

What TV or movies have you owned on DVD (or VHS) and then bought BluRays?
And is there anything that have you thought about replacing when BluRays were available but then decided against it?

I have replaced:
Downton Abbey seasons 1-2, the sets and costumes look much better
2001 A Space Odyssey
But i'm a Cheerleader!
Apollo 13
Lord of the Rings
the Harry Potter movie collection
Clueless
The Devil Wears Prada
several of the Bond films
Singing in the Rain
The Wizard of Oz
Probably 20+ movies I replaced DVD's with blu-rays and maybe 5-8 I had VHS, DVD and BD. I didn't have anywhere near the number of things on VHS that I do on disc now.
 
If it had happened ten to fifteen years ago, probably. I own both TOS and TNG remastered. Now? I just don't know? Might pick up the first season just to support the project.

I purchased a complete TNG Blu-Ray box set. Was the HD remaster of either TNG or TOS initially released/sold season-by-season?

I've replaced pretty much my entire collection several times. From VHS to LaserDisc* to DVD to Blu-ray. The collection gets a little bigger each iteration. Current count is...let's just say it's in the multiple-hundreds and leave it at that. ;)

*LaserDisc was never my full collection, it was more of a "the best of the best" supplement to VHS. And then DVD came along and made both collections redundant.

Was the HD remaster of either TNG or TOS initially released/sold season-by-season?
Yes.
 
I would love a remaster, and to replace my broken packaging that didn't survive after the first few years. I know it will never happen though, especially with the issues Paramount is dealing with currently.

If you want, write them here.


If Paramount is hard up for cash, I wonder if we could crowdfund them 100,000 bucks for two film scanners.
DS9 started at 150k, and got 650k for it's documentary, and Voyager asked 150k and got 1.2 million for it's' doc.
I wonder if we just crowdfunded them two film scanners, if that might help Paramount get the ball rolling lmao.
