Hey I saw this on Ain't-it-cool-news, I really don't want it to sound like a rumor, because it's not, it's actually a proposal. Here is the link http://www.aint-it-cool-news.com/display.cgi?id=4473

What do you think, nuff said.

Actually there is links to the proposals redid CGI, it wasn't working when I tried it, but maybe it will work later, so just in case here it is http://www.digistream.com/screen.htm

This is a terrifying idea, BTW.

Personally I think TOS should be left as it is. The episodes have already been digitally remastered to clear them up, and this, IMO, is sufficient. Yes, the effects are downright silly in some cases by today's standards, but this is the point. Star Trek wasn't about special effects back then, it was about telling stories, and when we put more emphasis on the effects than on the story, Star Trek loses its uniqueness and becomes just another sci-fi special effects extravaganza. When I want to see that, I watch Star Wars. People who complain about the effects should remember that this was a low budget show made in the 60's, and then start paying attention to what the characters are actually saying.

It would have been nice if that link to the CGI shots was working, I was very curious to see just what the new shots looked like.

I agree with you guys - they should leave TOS alone. I wouldn't mind seeing a "Special Edition" of STII:TWoK, though.

Nice sig, Altair

I found this site about a week before it was reported on Ain't it Cool News. I'm glad I downloaded all of the movies when I did. They're pretty cool, but not outstanding. I do like what they did with the Constellation though. It's much more suspensful when you first see it.

Well, personally, I think TOS is fine as it is now that it's all nice and cleared up, but if they were to touch it again, I'm sure both versions would stay in existance...

Personally I liked Tos in all its corniness, but the idea of updating graphics is very appealing. This whole discussion makes me wish that the next series would take place during Tos or at the time to E-B.

An Enterprise NCC1701-B TV movie would be really cool. They had a nice crew set up for the ship in "Generations", it would be a waste not to use them again.

Except that a few of the actors have moved onto bigger things now. Whatshisname that played Harriman being the one that sticks out the most in my mind.

I haven't seen any of them in anything, but then, I watch less TV then most people, and few movies.

Well, me too, so if I've seen a couple of them around, it's got to mean something.
