“Star Trek: The Original Motion Picture 6-Movie Collection“ is officially coming to 4K UHD Blu-ray on September 6th via Paramount Home Entertainment — according to StarTrek.com‘s new story.  This 15-disc box set will include the following films:

Each of these films will be now available individually on 4K UHD Blu-ray on September 6th as well, with the last two films making their debut on the format as well as “Star Trek: The Motion Picture (The Director’s Edition)” making its debut.  You can find the 6-Movie Collection and all of the individual 4K releases available now for preorder over at Amazon via the titles above.  The tech specs for each release include a 4K 2160p video presentation with HDR10 and Dolby Vision forms of high dynamic range and Dolby TrueHD 7.1 surround with the exception of “Star Trek: The Motion Picture (The Director’s Edition)” which is in Dolby Atmos sound.  The box set and individual releases will all come in the form of a “combo pack” meaning that they get the Blu-ray counterpart and a digital code (copy) included.

The bonus materials set to be included on each release are rather lengthy and with that being said, I’ll be listing them after the break at the very bottom of this post.

It’s most certainly worth noting that “Star Trek: The Motion Picture (The Director’s Edition)” will be getting a box set release on 4K UHD Blu-ray, titled the “Complete Adventure“ (pictured below).  It’s available now for preorder over at Amazon as well.  This set will come in the form of a 3-disc set with an exclusive bonus disc that features a “Special Longer Version” of the first film.

Here are some specifics about the set, from StarTrek.com :

This Limited-Edition Collector’s Set includes all of the above, plus an additional 4K Ultra HD disc containing:

  • The Theatrical Cut 
  • The first-ever widescreen presentation of the Special Longer Version of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, originally created for broadcast television in 1983  

The set is presented in deluxe packaging along with exclusive collectibles, including reproductions of original promotional material, a booklet with behind-the-scenes images, stickers, and more.

A “Star Trek: The Original 4-Movie Collection“ is officially coming to 4K UHD Blu-ray on September 7th via Paramount Home Entertainment and CBS Home Entertainment. The 4K set will include the first four films in the original “Star Trek” film franchise remastered in 4K. Those of course are “Star Trek: The Motion Picture” (1979), “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan” (1982), “Star Trek III: The Search for Spock” (1984), and “Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home” (1986). It should certainly be noted that the second film (“The Wrath of Khan”) will come with both the theatrical cut and the director’s cut.

Tech specs for each film on 4K UHD Blu-ray include a 2160p video presentation with HDR10 and Dolby Vision forms of high dynamic range. It is known that this set will be spanning across an 8-disc set and that it will come in the form of a “combo pack” meaning that it will come with each film’s Blu-ray Disc counterpart (pictured below) as well as a digital copy of each. UPDATE #1: Audio will be presented in Dolby TrueHD 7.1 lossless surround sound for each film, and the first film will get a Dolby 2.0 isolated score sound mix.

These four films all starred a primary cast (crew) of William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, George Takei, Walter Koenig, and Nichelle Nichols. The films were directed by Robert Wise, Nicholas Meyer, and Leonard Nimoy. Nimoy actually directed the last two.

You can now find the 4K UHD Blu-ray set available for preorder over at Amazon. UPDATE #2: Also, individually released remastered versions of each of the four films on Blu-ray Disc will be released on the same date, September 21st. I’ve included each of the four of those below, before the official announcement, after the break. You can now find “Star Trek: The Motion Picture” remastered, “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan” (Director’s Cut) remastered, “Star Trek III: The Search for Spock” remastered, and “Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home” remastered on Blu-ray Disc individually available for preorder over at Amazon. [NOTE: Amazon Commissions Earned]. Each release will include bonus materials and a digital copy of the film.

And, again, because this set is covering four films the bonus materials run rather lengthy and include lots of previously released extras. So, you can find all that listed below in the official announcement from StarTrek’s website as well as directly via Paramount.

The 1982 TV series “Police Squad!“ starring Leslie Nielsen as “The Complete Series“ appears to be coming to Blu-ray Disc on April 14th, via Paramount, according to retailers. The show was followed by the popular “The Naked Gun” trilogy of films throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s. The series, created by Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, & Jerry Zucker, co-starred Alan North, Rex Hamilton, Peter Lupus, Ed Williams, William Duell, Florence Henderson, and William Shatner. The show lasted just one season and ran for a total of six episodes, which will undoubtedly all be contained on this release. Tech specs and bonus materials for the release have not yet been specified. In fact, the release itself hasn’t even yet been officially announced by Paramount. Technically, at this point, it should be considered pretty much a “rumor” with something to back it up. So, stay tuned for later verification and/or update regarding this release. Lastly, for now, it is worth noting that the Blu-ray Disc is available for preorder over at Amazon.
