Paramount is following through with the promise of a 4k Blu-ray edition of Star Trek: The Motion Picture – The Director’s Edition on Sept. 6, 2022. The restored movie will also be available in a Limited-Edition Collector’s Set titled “The Complete Adventure” that includes 4k presentations of the Director’s Edition, the theatrical version, and a special longer cut of the film.
The disc release follows the exclusive premiere of ‘The Director’s Edition’ on Paramount+ in April, but adds plenty of new bonus material to dig your teeth into. On the 4k Blu-ray, there are new audio commentaries from David C. Fein, Mike Matessino, and Daren R. Dochterman as well as legacy audio and text commentary.
On the included Blu-ray Disc, there is a new 8-part documentary titled “The Human Adventure” that details how the Director’s Edition originated. There are also new deleted scenes, effects and costume tests, and computer display graphics. And, a code to redeem a Digital Copy is included.
On 4k Blu-ray Disc, ‘The Director’s Edition is presented in 4k with Dolby Vision and HDR10 High Dynamic Range specs and a Dolby Atmos soundtrack.
Pre-orders of Star Trek: The Motion Picture – The Director’s Edition are priced $30.99 (List: $36.99) while the Limited Edition Collector’s Set is priced $97.99 (List: $109.99).
