2 January 2008 / General Star Trek
Press Release

The Cawley Entertainment Company announces the world premiere of "To
Serve All My Days: A Night in 1969." The public premiere of the special
upgraded and enhanced episode will be at a gala red carpet evening event
at the Fine Arts Theatre in Beverly Hills, CA on March 29, 2008.

Although Star Trek: New Voyages premiered the original "To Serve All My
Days" episode in November of 2006, Executive Producer James Cawley has
always felt that it was not quite what he wanted it to be. "I wanted
Star Trek: New Voyages to feel as if it were the fourth season of the
original series," said Executive Producer James Cawley, "and with ‘World
Enough and Time' I feel we achieved that, but I've never been fully
satisfied with our work on ‘To Serve All My Days,' as it was not exactly
as I envisioned it." "There were many things I wanted to do, but
circumstances at the time forced us to go in a different direction,"
Cawley said, "but now we have the chance to bring ‘To Serve All My Days'
more in line with ‘World Enough and Time' and the soon to premiere
‘Blood and Fire' two-part episode." "I have always thought that the
visual effects done by Joël Bellucci and Dave Berry for the episode were
fantastic considering the tremendous time constraint they were under,
but we have all grown and added skills to our toolbox that we
unfortunately didn't have at the time we produced our second episode,"
Cawley continued, "Although the new special edition of ‘To Serve All My
Days' will feature updated visual effects by Daren Dochterman and Joël
Bellucci, it will now have original series music, consistent title
sequences, and added vintage commercials, and will appear just as it
might have been if it had aired on a night in 1969." "Walter and writer
Dorothy (D.C.) Fontana deserve the extra effort being put forth for this
very special episode-- and there will be an added surprise at the end
for the fans," Cawley concluded.

Walter Koenig is the only remaining original series cast member still
without a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and this premiere event
will be an opportunity to highlight his career and impact on Star Trek
and the entertainment industry, as well as his work around the world.
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce Walk of Fame committee will vote in
June on whether to award Walter his star and the Cawley Entertainment
Company is going to use this premiere event to spotlight Walter's career
and lead in the effort to get Walter the votes needed for his star on
the Walk of Fame. This event will feature "To Serve All My Days: A Night
in 1969," other rare television footage, and many new surprises. Doors
to the Fine Arts Theatre in Beverly Hills will open at 6:30PM (Pacific
Time), screenings begin at 7:30PM, with a Q&A session to follow the
screenings. Invited guests will include Star Trek alumni from across the
entire spectrum of the franchise, media, Walk of Fame committee members,
and of course the fans.

The Internet premiere of "To Serve All My Days: A Night in 1969" will be
delayed to make this public event a truly special one. Dates for the
Internet premiere will be announced later, but a new teaser trailer for
the episode will be made available in the coming weeks. Fans are
encouraged to attend the premiere event and help support Star Trek: New
Voyages and the effort to get Walter his star on the Hollywood Walk of
Fame. Details and additional information will be published on the Star
Trek: New Voyages website and the official Walter Koenig fan site as
they become available. Check for more information at:
