    Roddenberry Productions—the company run by Eugene "Rod" Roddenberry, son of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry—has signed a $2 million deal with Toolbox Productions to release more than 500 hours of previously unseen footage from Trek series, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

    The Toolbox library consists of interviews with cast and crew, as well as behind-the-scenes material shot over the past 20 years, starting with Star Trek: The Next Generation and progressing through the three other spinoff series that followed.

    The footage will be assembled for a video-based encyclopedia that covers Star Trek's mythology and characters, the trade paper reported.

    Rod Roddenberry will appear as host of the DVD set, which will showcase the archived material in high definition. Talks with distributors are under way. No release date has yet been set.

    EDIT: interviews can be good but im interested in deleted scenes

    Deleted scenes would be sweet. Goofs would be even better.

    Sounds promising :)

    Sounds really good.

    I have a book called Star Trek: Action which was a behind the scenes look at Insurrection, an episode of DS9 and VOY, and I thought that it was really interesting, I'm hoping that they include some of the level of detail of insight that the book did for those episodes.

    I hope it happens but Rod Roddenberry has a track record of talking about things hes going to release on DVD and never seems to get round to it like his documentary.
