Star trek tmp7/23/2023 This all got sorted out when La-La Land did the 3CD set in 2012. That release ended up having many problems, with mostly incorrect performances for the added tracks and it was not at all complete.Īdditionally, assumptions were made at the time that Sony Music had perpetuity album rights for the title, but it turns out that they didn’t those had expired in 1994, which meant that the 1999 release really shouldn’t have happened at all. Largely that was because of the 1999 Sony Legacy expansion, which we had actually tried to stop because we already knew the original Director’s Edition project was going to happen. But I was also very interested in basically putting together the release that our Director’s Edition team originally wanted to do in 2001 but we were not able to. All along the plan was to do a 2-CD version this time, for reasons both financial and administrative. What label wouldn’t? It’s a score that should always be available. The impetus was simply that La-La Land Records sold out of the 3-CD version that they released in 2012 and it’s a title that they wanted to keep in their catalog. What was the impetus for this new release? Septemwas Day One of the scoring sessions for STAR TREK–THE MOTION PICTURE (Mike Matessino) Because it really is one of the most horrible deaths in the history of Star Trek, but it also got us a PG rating.Roll #1 of 37 ready for transfer. ![]() You really want to make people nervous from this, and you need to scare them to the point of really making it the realistic fear of what was happening. What would it sound like if, finally, you could make some sound, what would that sound be?' It’s funny, I talk about it, and the hairs on the back of my neck still stand up… So I said to the sound department, ‘We’re not G. I’ll tell you exactly what I told my sound department… ’It should definitely be a nails on a chalkboard level of tension,’ but I also said, ‘Imagine if you were in the most horrible pain of your life and you needed to scream just to get it out, but you had no way, no orifice, to even scream. David Fein talked about instructing the updated scream for the Director’s Cut, and what it needed to sound in order for the rating to be changed: Viewers don’t see much else but hear a frightening and almost otherworldly guttural gasp. Of course, the one scene that features the gruesome and unimaginable death, thanks to a malfunction in a refitted transporter, goes a long way.įor those who don’t remember, Science Officer Commander Sonak and a female officer became stuck midway through and are briefly seen in a deformed state. Star Trek: The Motion Picture is a lot of things, but few would accuse it of being a movie that’s full of frightening moments and scares that raise a rating (it did almost feature a fist fight between Captain Kirk and Jesus, though). And that would spark people’s interest in the film and like, ‘What could possibly have been done to that film at the time to gain a PG rating.’ And we knew that if I was able to send the film back in for re-rating, it would and it could get a PG. And we realized that the G rating that they gave, time had changed from a G just being something that wasn’t as harsh for audiences, to G kids film. We wanted to also tell people this was a better film and a different film, a mature film. The producer explained that it was part of sending a message to the audience that the director’s cut was a different movie from the original: Fein noted that during his discussions with director Robert Wise, it was decided that the scene needed to be more powerful but also have another purpose. ![]() Fein about the latest 4K edition of Star Trek: The Motion Picture Director’s Edition, and I, of course, needed some answers about the changes made to the transporter scene. CinemaBlend had the pleasure of speaking with producer David C.
