Paramount Home Entertainment Readies Star Trek 4K Ultra Promotion For Sept. 06

Paramount Home Entertainment will be putting on a star show on Sept. 6 with 4K Ultra HD editions of the six original Star Trek movies, including a special “Director’s Edition” of the 1979 theatrical release from director Robert Wise that launched the film franchise, Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

There will be two 4K purchasing options for Star Trek: The Motion Picture.  The first is Star Trek: The Motion Picture—The Director’s Edition (a Combo Pack), which features an additional companion Blu-ray disc with new and vintage special features.   It took six months to complete this restoration.

Newly prepared bonus features include commentary from the restoration team of David C. Fein, Mike Matessino and Daren R. Dochterman (on the 4K disc), a new 8-part documentary titled “The Human Adventure,” deleted scenes, effects tests, costume tests and computer display graphics (all on the companion Blu-ray disc).

Vintage bonuses include the Robert Wise, Douglas Trumbull, John Dykstra, Jerry Goldsmith and Stephen Collins​ tag-team commentary and a collection of previously released featurettes.

The other Star Trek: The Motion Picture purchasing option on 4K Ultra HD is titled Star Trek: The Motion Picture—The Director’s Edition—The Complete Adventure, which features the above outlined material, plus a companion 4K Ultra HD disc with the Theatrical Cut and the first-ever longer version of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, originally broadcast on TV in 1983.

Also, on Sept. 6, are 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Combo Pack editions of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, Star Trek V: The Final Frontier and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.
