Once again, TNG will be in select theaters for one night only on November 29th. The exact theaters and a few more details are still getting settled but we know quite a bit. This is going to be another cool event to go see! :)
Earlier this month we reported that the much-anticipated theatrical event to celebrate the second season of Star Trek The Next Generation was scheduled to open on Thursday, November 29 for one night only. We also confirmed that one of the episodes to be featured was likely to be the fan-favorite introduction to the Borg, "Q Who".
We've now received further clarification of the full line up alongside poster-artwork for the event. The Celebration of Season 2 will feature two episodes - "Q Who" and the world premiere of the extended cut of "The Measure of a Man", both showing on Thursday, November 29 in selected cinemas. Whilst CBS/Fathom haven't issued an official press release yet, we've independently confirmed these details with several cinemas in the US and have an exclusive look at the poster artwork for the event!
Here is the official write-up for the event from Cinemark:
NCM Fathom Events and CBS Home Entertainment are coming together again to celebrate Season 2 of the iconic series Star Trek: The Next Generation in a special one night big screen event. This not to be missed movie theatre event will feature two of the most popular Next Generation episodes, Q Who? and The Measure of a Man which will include, for the very first time, about 13 minutes of never before additional content. This special event will also include exclusive looks at the extensive restoration taken to make Season 2 look better than ever before, never-before-seen interviews with the original cast members, a behind-the-scenes look at the artists who created the original FX elements and photography and a reunion with the original cast members, captured in December 2011, as they celebrate 25 years of this unforgettable series.
We expect Fathom and CBS to issue a full press release soon about the event!

When they have these special showings are these just the Blu-Ray images projected onto a big screen? and if so are they not a little grainy? Or do that actually provide the theaters with film?

Kevin
No film that I know of. Most theaters these days are digital anyway. I really didn't notice the picture being grainy on the last showing.
I've been to two of them and they look fantastic!
Oh yeah!

Yeah, I'm actually gonna go to this. Gotta wrangle some geeks to go.
we have a crew going to meet there... CAN'T WAIT!
I'm off the day after this so maybe I can talk my wife into going with me. Even though she is working the next day. Any tips on how I can make her want to go?

Buy her some nice flowers and stick an envelope in it with two tickets to see it and a promise of a nice meal before.

Thanks, guys, but since my wife can never keep flowers alive very long maybe dinner out will do the trick. We will see what happens.
It's not how long they last but the romantic sentiment behind them! They aren't really meant to last more than a week or two.
Kevin
Thats true but shouldn't just going with me be romantic enough...ok, probably not! :)
I missed the S1 launch last time.. really want to try and make it to this one... would love to see TNG on the big screen.
I wish I could see it, but I gotta' work. :(

I'd love to see it but I'm on the wrong continent.
Enjoy!
Just a few more days to go for this! Get your tickets now (I have mine)!

Can't wait to see this tomorrow night!
That was a heck of a lot of fun - even more than the last time. The episodes looked great and it was a blast to see both "Q Who?" and the extended version of "The Measure of a Man" on the big screen in a theaters with other Trekkies. The extended version is very well done I thought and is seamless on how they slip in the new parts. The bloopers and Behind the Scenes stuff was great too. I'm even more excited to get my Blu-Ray set for season 2 next week now. And the preview for the season three set.... WOW!
Awesome, Rico thanks for the heads up!

I really wanted to see this, but we had a cub-scouts meeting I couldn't move.

Sounds like a merit badge trip to the theater to me. Teach them about the measure of a man! :)

I Like it! Actually we were working on the Science badge, and went over Pascal's Law & the Bernoulli principle - so we were on track! :)
We had an awesome time!
I agree Rico, it was seamless. I am still blown away by the kindness and feeling of family from Trekkies. We stayed after and had a great talk with some folks we had seen last time at the theater. I hope they do this again for the third season.
here are some pics....
