We are still working on putting this together. This set should be up on torrents by the end of the year.

What has been taking the most time on this project is that about half the imported footage is 16x9 Enhanced, and the rest is not.
So, I have to resize half of the movie. Resizing this much footage is a task that takes lots of time, hard drive space, and also bottlenecks the entire creative process.

Jamiemark, that 8mm film would be an EXCELLENT addition to the Extras section!

Please send me a Private Message or turn your Private Message option on so we can work something out.

Hmmm, I just realized my PM was turned off, sorry about that. Let me know if you'd still like this.

DVD 3) The FanFiltration Edit of STTMP (Using most of the updated effects footage and sound from the Director's Cut DVD)
Most of the footage for this version is imported from the DVD sets (but this is a major re-ordering and edit of that footage), and the rest of the missing footage was taken (and enhanced) from a letterbox High Definition broadcast version. The original audio track is taken from the Lasers of the 79 and 83 versions and the Director's Cut DVD set. DVD #3 will also include A new Fanfiltration made production "Refit of the The Enterprise NCC-1701" and also "Where Nomad Had Gone Before" a FanFiltration re-edit of a number of Original Star Trek episodes that now become a Just for fun feature film style event.

This all sounds fantastic! How long will your edit of TMP be, as i think the 'establishing shots' overran a hell of a lot. The extras all sound interesting, especially the last two, are they going to try to be like new mini-eps or something

All the best

PS: From what's above I MAY have a go at some cover art.

The Fanfiltration edit of STTMP it going to be mostly extracted from my finished edit of the 1983 extended cut, and we have no idea of the projected running time as of yet. The letterbox 1983 extended cut is about 80% completed as of tonight (I get about 15 min more of the film done each night), and as soon as it is all done, the work will start in earnest on the Fanfiltration cut. I'm with you 100% about the 'establishing shots' being much too long. We plan to fix that. Re-editing the score will be the hard part, so that the edit seems smooth. We don't want to have any audio jumps that may give away the fact that version was cut up. We are excited about our plans to re-arrange some of the key scenes, and have had these ideas in the works for over a year now. Please feel free to submit any art you would like to do for the project!

God I can't wait for this also!

The widescreen 'Special Longer Version" was something I can't believe you accomplished.

There are some key scenes that are not avaible in widescreen, How did you handle them Fanfiltration - did you get other prints?

lmk! I am very interested.

Remember, Highlander, you’ve both still got your full measure of life. Use it well, and your future will be glorious.

There is only one small fragment that I have not been able to find in letterbox so far. It's right after Ilia does her Deltan healing on Mr. Chekhov. Just after Dr. Chapel gives Chekhov a spray of Bactine, Chapel gives Ilia a short glance (included) but then looks down (this is where the scene cuts in the bonus section extras on the official dvd) then Chapel looks back up at Ilia with a "Smart Ass" type look for just like 2 seconds (About 60 frames). That "Smart Ass" glance is what I don't have. I'm sure this 2 seconds can be overlooked, but my partner in this project refuses to stop his whining about it's non inclusion. If there was some type of cut away from Chapel back to Ilia then back to Chapel, then we could have attempted to make the Pan and Scan look letterbox for the 2 seconds. But due to the shot of Chapel being uninterrupted, this type of trick would look so bad and very noticeably interrupt the flow of the scene.

"Back in 1991 I went to a one time only theatrical showing in New York City of all 5 Trek films (up to that date). They presented the films back to back. They called it "Sit Long and Prosper". The showing of ST:TMP was in 70mm, and had most of the extra footage that is included on the extended pan & scan VHS, but not all of it. Missing was the scene where Kirk goes after Spock, and the Matt painting of the Enterprise is missing. That for sure was one scene that was not included, as well as other small bits and some scenes had been the versions from the theatrical 1979 cut). My letterbox version will include about 99.7% of what can be found on the extended 17 minute VHS. Making it even more inclusive then the officially released letterbox expended print that Paramount has in it's vaults. I'm hoping that this fact will be taken into account when the die-hard Trekkies bring me before the proverbial guillotine. *wink*"

What key scenes are you thinking of that may be missing? Most of the Klingon battle scene, and the scene with Kirk, Spock, and McCoy in the observation lounge (where you can see the window in the background) is being taken from a High Def T.V. broadcast of the letterbox theatrical cut (provided to me by yet another great fan on this forum). The rest of that scene (without the window in the back) was assembled from the bonus extras from the official dvd, and was a bit tricky to do.

Fanfiltration, I recently got this European TV broadcast of the Extended . It looks like it's in 1:85.1? It's not cropped and I have compared it to the full screen. Are you interested? just for the scenes we spoke of above.

I will email you screen shots of the scene.

I never knew there was a widescreen T.V. broadcast! I wonder if that's the same edit that I saw at the "Sit Long and Prosper" shown in New York back in 1991.

Hey I am confused on this smirk shot, Can you upload a screen shot so I know exactly what to look for -

This is a screen grab from the extended TV Cut, it doesn't look widescreen because of the darkness of the screen grab, but it is as you can tell by the blue in the top center. Anyways!!


I am assuming that there is something after this shot?

????? Shot / before or after this?

I was a bit confused too. The shot comes just before that photo you uploaded.

Here is a split screen of it. The top is the letterbox. That section will black out for the missing few seconds, then returns when the available footage resumes.

I am confused, the version I have looks cropped??? look at the videos side by side

What it looks like is that the station cropped the film becuase it's there and in better shape than any other television version. So they cropped the full frame version??? this is what it appears to have happened?

That sucks and I never even relized it...... ???

Sorry! Man!! was trying to help, keep up the good work

That pisses me off, lol -

Oso Blanco,
This is a 3 disc project, so the "original "Special Longer Version" cut" you want will be there too. *Grin*

More details on Disc 3 please.
How will it be different from previous official cuts?
Can you give an estimated runtime? (As in "this movie would have been better as a single TV episode" or "this is a super edit of existing cuts".)
