“We’re
excited to give fans a rare chance to see ‘Star Trek: The Next
Generation’ on the big screen, and be the first to see portions of
new, original content that will be available on the season 2 Blu-ray,”
said Ken Ross, executive vice president and general manager of CBS Home
Entertainment.
Presented by NCM®
Fathom Events, CBS Home Entertainment and IGN, this event will
be broadcast to more than 550 select movie theaters across the country
through NCM’s exclusive
Digital Broadcast Network.
In
addition to the two episodes featured in this event, fans will be
treated to a sneak peek of newly-produced, historic 25-year reunion
footage of the main cast members of “The Next Generation,” entitled “Reunification - 25 Years After Star Trek: The Next Generation.” Audiences
will also see a specially-edited cut of “Making it So: Continuing Star Trek The Next Generation” –
a first-hand
perspective of the making of the second season, including the production
of “The Measure of a Man” and “Q Who?”. Members of the show’s special
effects team will reveal the secrets behind
the creation of the villains The Borg, and writer Melissa Snodgrass
shares stories about her landmark episode, “The Measure of a Man.”
Additionally, fans will see a selection of outtakes and bloopers,
transferred from original 35mm film for the first time.
“After the overwhelming success from this summer’s ‘Star
Trek: The Next Generation - The First Season’ event, we couldn’t wait
to bring the second season of ‘The Next Generation’ back to the big
screen,” said Shelly Maxwell, executive vice president of NCM Fathom
Events. “This in-theater event is packed with exclusive,
never-before-seen content and interviews, including a historical
reunion of the cast members that no ‘Star Trek’ fan would want to miss.”
Created
by Gene Roddenberry as part of the “Star Trek” franchise, “Star Trek:
The Next Generation” was produced 21 years after the debut
of the original “Star Trek” series. Featuring
one of the most endearing ensemble casts in television history, “Star
Trek: The Next Generation” took fans on the remarkable continuing
voyages of
the Starship Enterprise, set in the 24th
century from the year 2364 through 2370. With 178 episodes spread over
seven seasons, it ran longer than any other “Star Trek” series.
“Star Trek: The Next Generation – The Second Season” Blu-ray will be available as a five-disc set on Dec.
4. The collection includes all 22 episodes; the extended version of “The Measure of a Man”; the brand-new cast reunion;
a two-part, in-depth documentary on the making of Season 2 entitled “Making It So: Continuing
Star Trek: The Next Generation” – Strange New Worlds (Part 1), and New Life, New Civilizations (Part 2);
and a gag reel that was created from newly-recovered 35mm film
elements and transferred for the very first time to high-definition.
CBS

will continue to show its support through this event. CBS will make a
financial donation
to support the Red Cross which shelters, feeds and provides emotional
