Star Trek DVD/Blu-ray to be Futuristic
Paramount Home Ent. will release J.J. Abrams' STAR TREK on DVD and Blu-ray on Nov. 17, 2009. The title will be released in a single-disc DVD, two-disc DVD and three-disc Blu-ray release. The title will be the first with special package where owners can unlock an interactive hologram tour of the U.S.S. Enterprise on the packaging by holding it in front of a standard Webcam. The tour will appear on the computer screen where users can visit five cabins of the starship and even shoot villains on the ship's deck.
"I cannot wait for fans of STAR TREK to check out the home entertainment release of the film. The behind-the-scenes features on the DVD -- and especially the Blu-ray -- give a wonderful look at the crazy hard work and incredible fun that went into making this movie," said J.J. Abrams. "The cast and crew were truly extraordinary to work with -- watching these special features, you'll see why. And for people who didn't catch STAR TREK in the theater, I hope they do now, as Paramount has done an exceptional job with this release; the picture and sound quality are both excellent."
The STAR TREK DVD and Blu-ray will boast special features to take viewers even further into the new universe. The two-disc DVD and three-disc Blu-ray include in-depth explorations of the reimagining of the franchise, the phenomenal cast, the action sequences, the score and the aliens, commentary by J.J. Abrams, the writers and producers, a gag reel and a digital copy of the film. Additionally, the discs feature deleted scenes that reveal a side story involving Nero with a first-ever look at Abrams' version of the infamous warrior Klingons.
The STAR TREK Blu-ray will feature over three hours of bonus footage including branching pods that allow for enhanced exploration, more fascinating features on the starships, planets, props, costumes and sound of STAR TREK, as well as a Starfleet Vessel Simulator and access to the latest NASA news about real-life space exploration via BD-Live.
