CBS Paramount has released a promotional trailer for the new remastered Star Trek episodes, beginning in weekend syndication September 16th.
Michael Okuda assures fans, "We're going to preserve the original, but bring it a little more into the 21st century."
"Simply want the visual effects to enhance what's already there," adds David Rossi. "We took measurements that were taken off the model from the Smithsonian. We're not adding fins, we're not going to make it do barrel rolls, we're just going to make people's mouth water a little more when they see it. A lot more."

Does anyone else think that this would be vastly improved with the Orchestra behind the scenes piece taken out (or at least a lot shorter). It seems to break the rest of the tempo, given the upbeat soundtrack to the rest of the clip.
Also- "The Ship Hits The Fans" -- Puh-leeze! Can we get like a group of 10 non-basemented fans to review these for Paramount to avoid a craptastic lines like that one?

Quote from G'Kar:
That shot of the ship firing photon torpeados seems to actually be the one of it firing "phasers" from Balence of Terror, since we know that's the episode that's coming up.
Does this mean Trek Remastered will retain all of the original version's inconsistencies in regards to the appearence of the ship's weapons? I had figured with Mike Okuda on board they would have fixed that.
Michael Okuda spoke of changing that specific SFX...
"You know, this is the first thing that we wanted to do when we started working on this episode. But then we started studying the episode more closely and discovered a number of things. First, Kirk orders "proximity phasers" to be used. This is the only time in the entire series where he does so. Second, the phasers behave differently than normal. They fire into space, then explode like depth charges. This is clearly the intention of the writer and director [Paul Schneider and Vincent McEveety respectively], since the episode is based on submarine movie metaphors.
"Finally, the sound effects clearly dictate the timing of the weapon firing, and we very early decided that we did not want to mess with the soundtrack. As a result, we thought the best approach was to use a different phaser effect than is seen in the rest of the series. The new proximity phasers will have longer bolts than they did in the original 'Balance of Terror,' but they will still be tied to the original sound effects."

Quote from G'Kar:
Is there a site somewhere that has more in-depth info/comminication regarding the project? Trekmovie.com is the best source I've found so far...
That site is today posturing as though an unnamed insider was tapped to confirm that Rick Berman isn't associated with J.J. Abrams' movie. Fact is, Paramount posted that information on its website back in April -- along with stating that Abrams' film is a confirmed project, something that has also been affirmed publicly via Leonard Nimoy.
For reading material on the remastered TOS: IESB has a formidable transcript of the conference Q&A with Mike Okuda, Dave Rossi, and John Nogawski.
Ultimately, the most solid source is CBS-Paramount's official site, StarTrek.com, which is where you'll find Okuda's phaser comment in a recent Q&A.

There are several screen-capture comparisons posted at VRRRM.com.
The remastered images are from the downloaded CBS trailer (and thus less than ideal for an example), and the original images are from the TOS DVD. Frames were chosen to show approximately the same scene.
Remastered...
Original (from "Miri")...

I notice that, in this trailer, Kirk says "Its mission" rather than "Its 5-year mission."
CBS Studios say they've fixed old technical problems in the opening montage.
"We didn't change anything, although we did update everything," David Rossi says. "All the star patterns that were in the original opening are exactly duplicated in the new opening. We smoothed out the motion of the Enterprise. It flies more dynamically now. It occupies real space. It doesn't look like a model anymore. So that's kind of the angle we took on it."
"The process that Dave just described is one particular shot where the Enterprise's flight path takes a couple of strange bumps to the left and to the right," adds Michael Okuda. "And there were artifacts of the visual-effects processes back then. And now CBS Digital is able to go in and essentially have an infinitely long track, so the perspective of the ship now is proper. It, as Dave says, occupies real space. It's a subtle change, but it just gives the ship more presence as it flies by you.
"Back in '64, when they shot the original opening elements, [or] '66, there was a physical limit to how far ... back you can get the camera [from the model]. So the perspective changes were limited by the physical length of the dolly track in the studio. What CBS Digital can do is, ... with the digital rendering, you can have your virtual camera infinitely far away and have the ship travel to inches from your nose. And by doing that, the perspective is ... proper. It's just as if the ship is really flying by you."
