Hi, I am a new member and just found about this.
I do understand that this item is not for sale.
However, I would like a copy of the Star Trek-The Motion Picture
3 disc DVD Mega Set since it is the complete 2 hour 26 minutes
version created by FanFiltration. How can I obtain it?
Please let me know at your convenience. Thanks!
Btw, I have the VHS ST-TMP Special Longer Version release
(transferred to DVD) in Full Screen (from 1983, out of print),
the studio DVD release of the original 131 minute Theatrical Version
(which does not include the VHS 12 extra minutes of footage) in Widescreen,
and the studio DVD release of the Director’s Edition which includes the
added/deleted scenes (theatrical and Extended TV Versions) as Special Features.
Neither of these official DVD releases have the full 2 hr. 25 minute version.
Why Paramount didn’t just go ahead and release the Special Longer Version on
DVD since they also released it on VHS first as opposed later to the edited
Theatrical release makes absolutely no sense to me. At least they did do a
Director’s Edition where the Added/Deleted Scenes were actually included
separately which I guess is better than nothing. At any rate, I would be
very interested in seeing your “preservation” version as I’m quite certain
that from the description of it and the responding posts from ST fans it
sounds to me like a labor of love. Thanks for reading and I look forward
to your reply hopefully in the near future. Oh–I am in the U.S.
And sorry about the length. I like to be thorough and share info. 😃
