We’re inching closer to the home release of What We Left Behind, the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine retrospective documentary that’s been making theatrical appearances around the world over the last month and a half — and its next stop is San Diego Comic Con, where new footage not seen in theaters is set to debut.
Announced yesterday by US distributor Shout! Studios, What We Left Behind: Looking Back at Star Trek: Deep Space Nine will appear at SDCC on Friday, July 19 at 7:00 PM (Room 23AB), where Deep Space Nine cast members Andy Robinson (Garak), Aron Eisenberg (Nog) Cirroc Lofton (Jake Sisko), Chase Masterson (Leeta) and Penny Johnson Jerald (Kasidy Yates) will join executive producer Ira Steven Behr and the production team for an hour-long discussion on the film… and showcase new material not seen in the touring theatrical release.
What We Left Behind: Looking Back at Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Friday, July 19th — 7:00 pm
Room 32ABJoin Star Trek: Deep Space Nine showrunner Ira Steven Behr, filmmaker David Zappone and select DS9 cast members (including Andrew Robinson, Aron Eisenberg, Cirroc Lofton, Chase Masterson, and Penny Johnson Jerald) for an in-depth journey into What We Left Behind, the critically acclaimed documentary feature film about Star Trek’s dark and often overlooked ‘middle-child’ series.
Moderated by Brian Ward (Shout! Factory), the panel will also feature NEW footage not included in the film’s theatrical release.
In addition, the first retail availability of the Deep Space Nine documentary will be at the Shout! Factory booth on the SDCC show floor (Booth #4118), where visitors will be able to pick up copies of What We Left Behind on Blu-ray and will include a free poster (likely the same one distributed at the theatrical screenings, the imagery on the Blu-ray set above).
Fundraiser campaign backers are still expected to receive their copies in “early July,” ahead of SDCC.
As for that new footage debuting in San Diego, we imagine it should be part of the Blu-ray release — and we broke down all the various release options coming back in May to help your decision-making!
We reviewed the What We Left Behind documentary back in May — and watch for our review of the Blu-ray features once the discs arrive this summer!
