Paramount Home Video has finally announced a date for the special edition of STAR TREK 2: THE WRATH OF KAHN.
August 6 will be the date for the new edition of the film, billed as an expansion of the existing (minimal) DVD edition. So the question is, what will this edition, the second in the expanded editions of the STAR TREK film series, hold?
Here's what they list:
Disc 1: Includes the expanded cut of the film, commentary by [director Nicholas] Meyer and text commentary by TREK encyclopedia co-author Michael Okuda.
Disc 2: Features the theatrical trailer, storyboard archives, and a wealth of bonus material:
The Captain's Log: All-new interviews with Meyer, stars William Shatner ("James T. Kirk"), Leonard Nimoy ("Spock"), Ricardo Montalban ("Khan Noonien Singh") and writer/executive producer Harve Bennett.
Designing Khan: Features comparisons of STAR TREK 1 and STAR TREK 2. Includes interviews with Meyer, Bennett, graphic designer Lee Cole, costume designer Robert Fletcher, production designer Joe Jennings, and more.
The Visual Effects of STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN: Highlights the ILM visual effects designers.
Original interviews from 1982: Featuring Shatner, Nimoy, Montalban and DeForest Kelley ("Leonard H. McCoy").
The STAR TREK Universe A Novel Approach by Authors Julia Ecklar and Greg Cox: Interviews with TREK novelists Ecklar ("The Kobayashi Maru") and Cox ("The Eugenics Wars: The Rise and Fall of Khan Noonien Singh").
That plus the standard 5.1 Dolby Digital sound. The price will be $24.99 U.S.
