Default Trek and Final Countdown Update

This is from the Digital Bits. This is the actual story which I copied and pasted.
http://thedigitalbits.com/#mytwocents


We've got great news today for you Star Trek fans. Paramount has just announced the DVD release of the 2-disc Star Trek V: The Final Frontier - Collector's Edition on 10/14 (SRP $24.99). The disc will include the film in anamorphic widescreen video, Dolby Digital 5.1 audio, audio commentary by director/star William Shatner and Liz Shatner (his daughter and author of Captain's Log, William Shatner's personal account of the making of the film), another text commentary by Michael Okuda and Denise Okuda, numerous behind-the-scenes featurettes (including Herman Zimmerman: A Tribute, Original Interview: William Shatner, Cosmic Thoughts, That Klingon Couple and The Green Future?), Harve Bennett's pitch to the sales team, The Journey documentary, make-up tests, a look at pre-visualization models, a look at the abandoned "rock man" costume, video of a press conference for the film, deleted scenes, theatrical trailers (including the teaser and theatrical trailers, as well as the trailer for The Complete Adventures of Indiana Jones), storyboard art and a gallery of production photos. Be sure to visit Star Trek.com for more information. And don't forget, a 2-disc edition of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country is being prepared for release early in 2004.



In other news this morning, we have an update on the new Final Countdown DVD, finally with at least a little bit of new information. In retrospect, our comments yesterday were a bit harsh, reflecting our frustration with the previous DVD release. So our apologies to Pacific Family Entertainment and Triumph Marketing for that. The good news is, we have been in contact with PFE, and they've officially confirmed to us that the DVD has been remastered to improve the video quality of their original release. So the new DVD up for sale on Amazon.com (due on 8/19) is the remastered version. The bad news is, we have no further official details than that, and it's unlikely we'll see the disc before its release. However, we've also been in contact with a video retailer who we trust, who has seen the new version. He tells us that, while the newly remastered widescreen video isn't anamorphic, it IS an improvement on the original PFE release. We don't know whether the audio has also been remastered, but it should be Dolby Digital 5.1 like the original disc. The disc should also include the film's theatrical trailer, as did the original. So while it still isn't the special edition many of you have been waiting for, the improved quality should make it at least worth a purchase for fans. We get at least 2 or 3 e-mails a week about this title, so we know how badly you guys out there want this film on DVD. Hopefully, if this disc sells well, PFE and Triumph will revisit the title with more extras and an anamorphic transfer in the future. Note that the disc art above is for the original version - we don't know if the new art is identical or not.
