TOS widescreen

wider

What with the original Star Trek's special effects being updated and a "wide screen" HD version shown in Japan (not so much wide screen as close cropped images to simulate wide screen)

My thought, which I've mocked up above, is not to crop the image, but add to it to fill the wide screen image. This, and a complete digital make over of the whole series, not just cleaning the image, but enhancing it to correct some of the more unkind characteristics of 60's TV lighting...

wider

Here I've used the camera pan of this shot to piece together the whole image.

I feel Paramount will do this, to keep Star Trek generating money as long as possible.
