Info: 'Star Trek - The Motion Picture'; Original Subtitles on Amazon Prime (Available)

Currently streaming on Amazon Prime in the US is a copy of Star Trek: The Motion Picture. It is mostly the same master as the blu-ray, DNR and all, but it does have the original subtitles (and they aren’t recreated, they are clearly opticals).

Does anybody have the capability to make a proper cap of this? I’m not likely to do another version of my DC in HD project (what with the news of a potential Director’s Cut blu-ray project from Paramount), but it would be nice to have a copy of the subs as they were in theaters. This is currently the only copy of the original subtitle typesetting outside of VHS and laserdisc copies.

This is a great find. I might know someone that can get you a copy of this. Can you share the link?

Sure, it’s just the copy on Amazon Prime: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B07NS382P9/
If they have the ability to cap it in 1080p at 23.976fps, that would be wonderful. All I’d really need capped is the opening of the film, beginning with the subtitled shots of the Klingons through the Kolinahr scene with Vulcan subtitles.

Great find! If it does get capped, I’d certainly find those scenes useful for my theatrical project - never mind the time it took me to painstakingly recreate them 😄

Both of you will get a pm soon:)
A friend of mine “capped it” hopefully it can be used in a future project:)

It’s also the version on Hulu.

It’s CLOSE to this https://www.ffonts.net/OPTIEton-Bold.font which was used on several Star Trek print projects in the 70’s. (One of the printings of The Making of Star Trek for example.)

That looks pretty close. Thank you.

I can do it if you provide me with a copy. I don’t have an Amazon Prime account, and besides, not even sure this version is available in Europe (where I live)…
