It's the same reason CBS spent a shitload of money totally remastering whole seasons of the original show, complete with new VFX. There's a market for it, apparently (I can't fathom it either, but they wouldn't spend a bucketload of money on such a niche item unless it was profitable). What is it you can’t fathom, investing in TOS in general, or the new VFX specifically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More generally how it was profitable. Remastering that much material in high def (new scans + cleanup) then replacing all VFX shots with CG would have been a costly exercise. Clearly they wouldn't have done it unless it turned a profit, so the fanbase must be investing in it (enough to make the expense worthwhile).

It's the version Netflix uses, and cable TV networks across the world continually broadcast it, so all those deals probably covered the expense more than fans buying blu-rays did.

Laserschwert 477 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Keep in mind though that the HD remaster of TNG was a total financial failure (which is why they don't even consider tackling DS9), and I'd assume that show had the bigger fanbase (and due to more seasons more material to license out) compared to TOS.

Pellaeon 593 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 They don’t consider tackling DS9 because DS9 has a niche fanbase. It’s the same reason that DS9 never got any movies. Nothing has penetrated popular culture and has evergreen appeal other than TOS and TNG, which is why those two properties are treated with tender loving care. If you look at it that way, it doesn’t matter so much whether the TNG remaster costs were recouped by initial blu-ray sales, because they are going to want to sell those for a long time, broadcast/stream them, sell toys and books and costumes and whatever, and then of course the show itself is being revived this year!

bollemanneke 3,367 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Yes, I didn't like the dark stuff five years ago, but I'd probably like it lots more if I listened to it again. Back then I listened to film scores without having watched the movies they belonged to, which I'm not doing anymore, though, and Branagh's movies never appear on TV here.
