And finally today, my friends at OTOY—who produced the excellent Creating Kubrick’s Space Odyssey documentary earlier this year—have just launched a major new update of The Roddenberry Archive called 765874: Unification, directed by award-winning Spanish filmmaker Carlos Baena (from a story by Jules Urbach and featuring music by composer Michael Giacchino)! Here are the official details:
OTOY, in association with William Shatner and the Nimoy Estate, releases ‘765874 Unification,’ commemorating 30th anniversary of “Star Trek: Generations”
On the 30th anniversary of Star Trek: Generations, The Archive and William Shatner revisit Captain Kirk’s final appearance on screen in a new 8-minute video produced for The Archive app on Apple Vision Pro: 765874: Unification, launched in tandem with new interactive sets and documentary interviews and behind the scenes content celebrating the legacy of the 1994 film.
LOS ANGELES, CA – November 18th, 2024 – OTOY, Inc is proud to release the next major update to The Archive, with 765874: Unification, a mind-bending Star Trek experience celebrating the 30th anniversary of Star Trek: Generations—William Shatner’s last appearance as Captain Kirk on screen.
765874: Unification launches today on The Archive web portal and native app, an immersive experiential app designed for Apple Vision Pro. The release is accompanied by new interactive sets, props, and worlds from the 1994 film as well as a 20-minute retrospective by William Shatner himself, looking back over the last 30-years since he played the legendary character, and his aspirations for the future of Captain Kirk as the franchise approaches the 60-year mark. The full experience with all related extra content is available in its entirety in Digital Cinema 4k HDR and spatial video, exclusively mastered at peak fidelity for viewing on Apple Vision Pro.
Iconic characters from classic Star Trek history were brought to life through the live action performances of a talented cast, led by veteran TV and film star Sam Witwer as young James T. Kirk, with Lawrence Selleck as Spock. Witwer and Selleck were filmed in costume, performing as Kirk and Spock on set, aided by both physical and digital prosthetics resulting in period-accurate portrayals matching the appearance of the characters as they originally appeared in TV and Film at the time.
