Star Trek in IMAX

The new Star Trek film will apparently be converted to IMAX format to be shown in IMAX theaters.  Although no scenes were originally filmed in IMAX format it is possible to convert the film to be compatible with IMAX screens.  This will be the first Star Trek movie to be offered in IMAX but the idea isn't a new one.  

Star Trek IMAX was a film first proposed in 1997, it was to be a crossover film featuring characters from all four of the series up to that time.  The budget was reported to be between ten and twelve million dollars, with a running time of approximately 40 minutes.  Colm Meaney and David Warner were two of the actors reported to be reprising their role in this movie that never got off the ground.
