Blu-ray.com has an interesting new update that says Paramount is set up to release the first six Star Trek films on Blu-ray, timed to hit shelves around the May 8 release of the new Star Trek as well as plans to release an extended version of the original Transformers film around the June 26 release of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
I didn’t know it could get any longer considering the first Transformers timed out at 2 hours and 23 minutes. I highly doubt they left many effects on the cutting room floor so does this mean we get more Shia? Or perhaps more of the dog… If there are more shots of the robots I hope it is an extended scene of Bumblebee peeing on John Turturro or perhaps more of the robots hiding around Shia’s house. Those scenes were off the chains!
As for the Star Trek releases, those I am actually quite excited for. It means we will be getting Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, Star Trek V: The Final Frontier and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. All I really want are Wrath of Khan and Voyage Home, but it’s about time I have the complete set since I am sure I would watch the others as well.
The same article also says we should expect Warner Bros. to release Batman, Batman Returns, Batman and Robin and Batman Forever on Blu-ray in 2009 and to expect Pretty Woman, Sin City and Armageddon from Disney.
