Oh my god Oh my god Oh my god.
Must contain my inner geek. Breathe deeply.
This news broke over at TrekMovie.com and was confirmed by Bill Hunt at the Digital Bits. German film sites have announced the upcoming release of JJ Abrams‘ Star Trek film on Blu-ray this October 5th and have outlined the full slate of bonus features. Everything here can be considered rumour until confirmed by Paramount with an official release announcement. Take note that release details often differ from region to region, so while this news might hold true for Germany or Europe, the North American and/or British discs may be vastly different.
The release date below can also taken lightly, as Paramount shifts their fall schedule around to accommodate the home video releases of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Monsters vs. Aliens, Imagine That and G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, as well as, “a TON of big catalog titles”.
Do, however, feel free to get bat-shit excited about all the deleted scenes we’re going to see. This is the stuff everybody has been talking about and waiting for. The stuff that was excised from the film. Klingons!! Spock Prime (Leonard Nimoy) seeing his dad again!! More Kirk getting it on with the green gal!! Yeah! Life is good…

[...] Harry Barber over at TNMC got his hands on a version of JJ Abrams’ Star Trek script. From the description he gives, it doesn’t sound like the shooting script (there’s a major difference involving the death of the villain’s henchman that would have required a solid round of rewrites) but it does give us a look at what some of the deleted scenes on the Blu-ray will reveal (read our full run-down of the upcoming disc).

I’m really excited for this movie on blu-ray but can anyone from the authors, please, change the sound from Dolby Digital to DTS??
Star Trek contains so much incredible sound effects that I am VERY sure will be lost in Dolby Digital (Check out Iron Man on Blu-Ray, the sound was appalling!!), and the current market penetration of Dolby Digital HD is only 4% which is nothing! DTS is the way to go and I want to enjoy this movie to it’s fullest. Can ANYONE do something?! Delay the release for month month if necessary – I don’t care just give everyone DTS so all can be awed like when we all watched it in the cinemas!
I can’t wait, this was the best film of the summer! Two problems with the blu-ray release…
1. No DTS track? Come on!
2. No digital copy??
[...] last night. From the looks of things, we’re going to get the features we all expected (and that we wrote about previously) in a 1 or 2 disc DVD set and a 3 Disc Blu-ray set on November 17. Awesome! But I’ve gotta [...]
Hello xbox can’t play blu rays. You have no idea what you are talking about.
