Star Trek: The Original Series
11/13/2007
Boldly go where no man has gone before to see two of the most famous “Star Trek: The Original Series” episodes – your local movie theatre! “Star Trek: The Original Series” will be beamed onto the big screen for only one night in select movie theatres nationwide on Tuesday, Nov. 13th at 7:30PM (local). This event features the original Season 1 episodes “The Menagerie” Part 1 and 2, digitally re-mastered in High-Definition and Cinema Surround Sound. Also included is greeting from creator Gene Roddenberry’s son, Eugene “Rod” Roddenberry and an exclusive 30-minute behind-the-scenes look at how the episodes were digitally re-mastered.

Event Synopsis:

“The Menagerie” features footage from the original “Star Trek” pilot episode titled “The Cage.” Leonard Nimoy as Spock is the only character that made it from the pilot to the “Star Trek” series – as well as Jeffrey Hunter in the role of the original commander of the starship Enterprise, Captain Christopher Pike.

The two-part episode features Spock and the familiar crew of the Enterprise including William Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk, DeForest Kelley as Dr. McCoy, James Doohan as Scott, and Nichelle Nichols as Uhura. In this episode, Spock is on trial for hijacking the Enterprise, telling a strange tale of former Enterprise Captain Pike's imprisonment on Talos IV 13 years earlier and the past crew's attempts to rescue him – shown in “flashback” footage taken from the original pilot episode.

An in-theatre exclusive greeting from creator Gene Roddenberry’s son, Eugene “Rod” Roddenberry is included, as well as a behind-the-scenes look at how the episodes were digitally re-mastered from the original negatives – including the reinvention of the old TV show special effects using new CGI animation, and the orchestral re-recording of the show’s theme music.

Please note: The event content will be shown in its original (TV) format, 4x3.

Lloyd!
I thought you were a true fan...

;)

yeah, I'll wait for the sale on the DVD(s) at wallyworld.

$12.50 for an episode ive already seen? I don't think so. Even with the new fx. Ill pass and just keep drooling on you tube

Nearest trip for me would be 180 miles around, not quite willing to go that far...and I consider myself a pretty big fan.

Since I have no plans to buy those faulty, overpriced Paramount HD-DUD combo discs, I plan on seeing it at the theater. It will be fun - and interesting to see just how those new-fangled cgi effects hold up on a big screen.

There's nothing like seeing the Big E on the Big Screen! I'll be there. :)

Me too. If nothing else it'll be an interesting experience seeing TOS on the big screen.

I have watched many of the original episodes on my home theater setup. My PS3 does a wonderful job of upscaling the DVDs to the projector, which then throws a good 6'x8' picture that looks great. I've even played around with cropping some of the shows, in particular, The Doomsday Machine, to a 16x9 image, which looks remarkably good and allows the picture to be enlarged to over ten feet wide (with the same 6' picture height) and gives a very theatrical feel to it.

I did get to see some of my old CG Star Trek stuff on a movie screen once as part of a presentation. I got a chill. :)

Not a Child's Movie?

Not a Child's Movie?

I was thinking NeCroMancer....but maybe you're right.

Way cool idea.

Original trek was NEVER shown this way.
A once in a lifetime chance and only for $12.50??

Should be a great time.
