Trek News - TNG Remastered Like TOS

[Rico]

I sure wish we were getting more than three episodes on this release. I have to say though that the images streamed are better quality than the crappy DVDs we have. I will be replacing them for sure if and when they release the season sets. I think all will depend on the feedback they get from purchases of this little set.

Kevin,

This was a test set of episodes for CBS to run through the remastering process and see how much work this would all take.  They have already announced they are going ahead with the entire series in season sets, so all the episodes are getting done.

A little more news about the remastering of TNG


First, Drexler shared the news that he will be working with Dan Curry, Mike and Denise Okuda and David Takemura on Star Trek: The Next Generation Remastered. "You heard right," said Drexler, "this time around Paramount is bringing in a team that lived TNG as it happened. Dan, as I'm sure you know, was the visual effects supervisor on Next Gen. Unlike the remastering of TOS, this job will be 100% true to the original. Visual effects shots will not be reinvented, pulling you out of the show. What's about to happen is truly extraordinary.

"The studio has saved all the original footage, and VFX elements from the good old days. We will be recompositing them, and then outputting them in high definition. Here and there, elements have been lost, and we will recreate only those missing pieces,  and with this promise: aside from looking like you had your windshield cleaned, you won't know the difference. Star Trek: The Next Generation is Gene Roddenberry's legacy, it is culturally significant, and we will rejuvenate the show with curatorial eyes only. Paramount Picture deserves a round of applause, and I can't wait to dig in with my friends."
