The auction will precede a screening of Star Trek: The Motion Picture – The Director's Edition in the Dolby Vine Screening Room. Producer David C. Fein, who was the driving force behind the 4K DolbyVision/Dolby Atmos version of director Robert Wise's 1979 film, will deliver a keynote address before the screening.
The November 9 event will conclude the seventh edition of the Infinity Festival, which kicks off on November 6 and features a mix of programming in the fields of technology, entertainment and design. An exhibition of 200 Star Trek items will also be open to visitors on November 7 and 8. Deadline is a presenting media sponsor of the Infinity Festival.
William Shatner, who played Kirk, recorded a video for Julien's Auctions, which is handling a series of auctions. In the video (watch it above), Shatner holds the long-lost communicator in his hand for the first time in more than 60 years.
