The makers ofTo The Journey: Looking Back on Star Trek: Voyagerjust shared their clip showing severalStar Trekalumni, including George Takei, Mary Chieffo, Armin Shimmerman, Jeffrey Combs, Andrew Robinson, andVoyagerstars Robert Beltran and Tim Russ as well, sitting in a decidedly space-agey chair for interviews. The reunion, as you can see, is a joyous one, as the interviewees clap along with the crew as they reunite to discuss the legacy ofStar Trek.
The crowdfunded documentary from the makers ofWhat We Left Behind: Looking Back at Star Trek: Deep Space Ninelaunched on Indiegogo earlier this year becoming the most successful crowdfunded documentary film ever. The record-setting sum and the campaign will allow the filmmakers to remasterStar Trek: Voyagerfootage in high definition and include “an exclusive, never-before-seenVoyagersurprise.”
“It’s been over 25 years sinceVoyagerfirst got lost in theDelta Quadrantand took us all on an incredible seven-year journey. It is now time to revisit, celebrate, and fully explore what made this Star Trek series so special. The cast and crew of this groundbreaking show deserve the highest recognition, and with your help, we are going to make happen!”
“We are still in the early stages of production with more interviews and support footage yet to be filmed. Once that is complete, Post-Production expenses will need to be covered such as editing, music, animation, color-correction, sound mixing and CBS/Star Trek footage licensing. The more we raise on this Indiegogo campaign.”
