It is Official : Paramount Home Entertainment Goes with Blu-ray

Features

By GustavoLeao / 07:19, 21 February 2008 / General Star Trek

The Hollywood Reporter received an exclusive announcement from Paramount Home Entertainment on Wednesday saying, "We are pleased that the industry is moving to a single high-definition format, as we believe it is in the best interest of the consumer," the statement reads. "As we look to (begin) releasing our titles on Blu-ray, we will monitor consumer adoption and determine our release plans accordingly."

No further details were given. Still no word if Paramount will release the final two seasons of "Star Trek" the Original Series Remastered on HD DVD as they did the first season or if they will now release all three seasons on Blu-ray.

The four other majors committed to Blu-ray are Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment (along with its distributed MGM Home Entertainment label), Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment and Warner Home Video (including distributed labels New Line Home Entertainment, BBC Video and HBO Video). Mini-major Lionsgate also has been an exclusive Blu-ray backer since the start.

More info at the Hollywood Reporter.

Isn't the remastering finished, or at least almost finished?

I haven't heard anything about season 3 being worked on, nor for that matter have I actually heard that season 2 was completed. Wasn't the second season box originally scheduled later in the year anyway? Maybe they were assuming they'd finish the remaining episodes in time.
