Trekmovie.com broke the news after contacting Netflix about rumors to stream Star Trek through a new distribution agreement with CBS. According the article, this will be the first time TNG, DS9 and Voyager have ever been streamed and the first time ‘Next Generation” has been made been available in digital format.
The Netflix/CBS agreement only includes U.S. territory and will last two years with an option to extend. The deal with CBS did not include the 1970s Star Trek animated series.

It’s no longer a secret that Paramount wants the movie to be delivered to audiences in 3D, there’s one lingering question: will it be shot in 3D or converted in post-production? Whatever the medium is, I believe the result’s gonna be exciting!
