I’m of the mind that any movie where the main star dies during the making of a movie, that movie shouldn’t be remade. They should let the franchise/character rest in piece.
Exceptions would be characters like the Joker who’s mythos is interwoven into the story. But, the Joker (despite Ledger’s movie stealing performance) isn’t the main character in that story.
Bond, I’m enh about.
I know it was supposed to be unexpected, but I so saw what Hanna did coming.
I was also waiting for it. Looks cool though. During WonderCon the director said that Hanna would be the Anti-Sucker Punch.

Firstly Netflix confirmed they will be streaming every episode of every season for all five live-action Star Trek series: the original Star Trek, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager, and Star Trek: Enterprise. TOS, TNG, Voyager and Enterprise will all become available on July 1st. DS9 will launch on October 1st. TOS and Enterprise will be available in HD.

Question: How will TOS be in HD??
Just click “enhance” a few times.
More seriously, the originals were recorded to some analog medium (Not in the business so don’t know. I assume Xmm film, where X is a reasonably small positive integer) so couldn’t they generate an HD quality file from there?
More cynically, a 1920x1080 single-color square is technically HD 
So they are using the literal meaning of HD (distorting/stretching the original image) rather than the spirit of the definition (bigger image and better picture quality from the start)? Or, is TOS in HD a typo/misprint?
But, since the original broadcast was 4:3, wouldn’t converting it to 16:9 mean they are losing the top and bottom portions?
Aha. I wasn’t thinking about the 4:3 vs 16:9 aspect ratio difference, just the quality. I’m so used to TV being 16:9 that I don’t even think about it any more. It is possible that they filmed it in 16:9 (or one of the other less common formats) and then cropped it to 4:3.
However, due to this “news” story from 2006 calling what I’m watching right now “HD,” I’m going to say they just are going to stream those. and those have black bars on each side.
but, the video between the bars is very clean.
It sounds like they will be streaming the ‘restored’ and updated STOS they released in HD a number of years ago, with the enhanced special effects (digital and CGI).
So the effects are in 16:9 while the live action are in 4:3?
I have seen some of the HD STOS clips online, and caught some of it on cable. If I remember correctly it is all in widescreen format, it looked really good!
So they had to have chopped off the top and bottom. ):
Yup, but you don’t notice it. They tend to keep important stuff away from the screen edges, since CRT TVs would have part of the screen covered by the frame anyway.
I made a screenshot from the dvd right here.
The black bars are on the original scenes and the new ship cgi.
Now I’m confused. I could swear that I saw an episode that had been upsized. Maybe for broadcast only?
I hope this guy survived… The water was getting awefully close by the end of the video.
