STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES – THE RODDENBERRY VAULT In honor
of the show’s 50th Anniversary - this three-disc Blu-ray gives
fans unprecedented access to never-before-seen footage from the
production of Star Trek: The Original Series. During the shooting
of Star Trek, bits and pieces of episodic footage were left on
the cutting room floor and later preserved in film canisters by
The Roddenberry Estate. This footage now found, has been
painstakingly catalogued, transferred, analyzed, and pieced
together these Vault materials, which include alternate takes,
deleted scenes, omitted dialogue, outtakes, and original visual
FX elements. STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES – THE RODDENBERRY
VAULT includes twelve classic episodes chosen for their relevance
to the Vault materials, and presented in 1080p High Definition
with both DTS 7.1 Master Audio as well as newly restored original
Mono. Eleven of these episodes contain isolated music tracks.
Newly recorded audio commentaries appear on three fan-favorite
episodes. Each of the set’s three discs feature documentaries
that weave together the previously unseen Vault materials with
all-new interviews by key creative and production personnel and
famous fans. The three new documentaries exploring the “making
of” the celebrated series and its enduring legacy are: • Inside
